Aside from regular upgrades, vehicles can also be equipped with custom equipment, which is represented by blocks of varying sizes that the player has to fit onto a grid each vehicle has that serves to limit how much equipment can be used at a time.Aside from the main tank, the players also later gains access to multiple vehicles including an armoured personnel carrier and a tank with a modular turret, both of which are highly similar to the vehicles introduced in the sequels.Many classes have limited ammo that regenerates over time (turns), making it even harder to use the same character multiple times in one turn (there are exceptions, with the rifles used by scouts and supports having unlimited ammo Also, limited ammo can be circumvented by having a support come into contact with a unit to replenish all of their ammo).Deploying a character from a control point only has them appear at that point the following turn.The game does however have many changes to make it significantly different from the first: The same unit can be selected multiple times on the same turn, but fatigue causes their maximum action point count to fall each time for that turn. The battle system is mostly identical to that of Valkyria 1: The player has a number of command points used to command individual units, which have a range of movement determined by their own action points and can attack once per command point used. Seeing that it would be unable to continue fighting for long, the Federation launches Operation Northern Cross, an attempt to take the Imperial capital of Schwarzgrad, which E platoon participates in as well. The game begins three months into a war started by the Empire, which seeks to conquer the entire continent, in which 70% of the continent has already been occupied by the imperial forces. The player takes control of E platoon, an elite mechanized ranger squad of the Edinburgh (the Valkyria Chronicles’ equivalent of the UK) army and part of the Atlantic Federation’s forces, consisting mainly of Gallian volunteers from the same village who signed up to fight in the war when their home came under attack from the East European Imperial Alliance (also known simply as the Empire), led by protagonist Claude Wallace. Valkyria 4 takes place at the same time as the first game, but features a completely different cast of characters and theatre of war. Valkyria Chronicles 4, however, takes the series back to its roots, wiping the slate clean and starting off from 1 While it is not an exact copy of the first game’s system, all of the changes expand off of it instead of the sequels. Though the first game was released to critical acclaim, the Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyria Chronicles) series has had an odd history, with two of its sequels being released only for the Playstation Portable (the third game never outside of Japan) with changes made to the core game system which many fans of the first game were unsatisfied with, and while the 2017 spinoff Aoki Kakumei no Valkyria (Valkyria Revolution) attempted a more narrative-driven experience with longer and deeper story sequences, it also featured a disastrously flawed action-based system nothing at all like the main series’. As this game is a sequel, the review may contain spoilers for previous instalments in the series. This review was written based on the Japanese release of the game, and may not reflect changes made to versions released in other regions.
