An Excellent Tactical RPG

Valkryia Chronicles IV (VC4) is a delightfully complex tactical RPG developed by Sega (with the help of Media Vision). It was first released on the Playstation 4 in Japan, but later came to all the consoles—Xbox One and Nintendo Switch—and the PC in September of 2018. The game is the fourth installment in the Valkryia Chronicles (VC) series, and the second re-leased for consoles/PC. Valkyria Chronicles II and III were developed as Playstation Portable exclusives. Sega has nearly perfected the series in this fourth release with a rich and sophisticated story, excellent gameplay that iterates upon the first game, and a beautiful visual presentation, which brings continuity to the series.

Better than Ever

Way back in 2008, as the RPG genre was circling the drain at the midpoint of the dire 7th Generation of Videogames, Sega – the perpetual second-place console-maker cum third-party developer – surprised everyone by pausing in its perpetual flogging of its old, tired IPs and produced a brand new one. Not only was the original “Valkyria Chronicles” an incredibly rare high-quality RPG from the 7th Generation, it was also a game that revolutionized its subgenre. It took two sad, frustrating years for word of this gem to reach me through the grapevine of the online gaming community, but when I played it and reviewed it in 2010, “Valkyria Chronicles” single-handedly justified my ownership of a PlayStation 3… but then it was ported to Steam in 2014.

Imagine my dismay, then...
