Some may remember that the official Japanese website for Valkyria Chronicles featured a blog where the side characters Edy Nelson and Homer Peron exchanged thoughts about all sorts of topics related to the game. SEGA’s upcoming action-RPG Valkyria: Azure Revolution, set in the Valkyria Chronicles universe, now has a similar blog on its own website. This time, it features discussions between the childhood friends Helena Andersen and Blum Thomasson. Both are members of the Vanargand, an anti-Valkyria unit of the kingdom of Jutland.

SEGA Reveals the Full Website for Valkyria Chronicles Remastered

Draikin March 22, 2016 2 Replies

SEGA of America have unveiled the full version of their Valkyria Chronicles Remastered website, which you can visit here. The website now offers details on the game’s “CANVAS” graphics engine and the “BLiTZ” battle system. an overview of the game’s story, its world and the main characters and a look at the gameplay. Lastly, there’s information on where to pre-order the game in the Americas, as well as the special edition being released there. However, the website doesn’t contain information on the EU version of the game, which I find rather odd, given that this is evidently also the official website of the game for EU gamers. For comparison purposes, you can find a backup of the original Valkyria Chronicles website here.

Valkyria: Azure Revolution Gets First Demo Footage, New Screenshots and Characters

Draikin February 9, 2016 1 Reply

Bundled with the release in Japan of Valkyria Chronicles: Remaster was a battle demo for Valkyria: Azure Revolution. The first footage of the demo has appeared online, offering us a good view of the game’s action-RPG combat mechanics. These can be split into two main parts: ranged and close quarter combat (where your characters switch to melee weapons). The game transitions into close quarter combat when you get close to the enemy. If you ambush and hit the enemy from afar before closing in and entering close quarter combat, you will trigger a “Good Situation”, giving you an advantage over the enemy. On the other hand, simply rushing in will trigger a “Bad Situation”. For more information on how this works, look up our notes on “Reactions” in our previous article.

Valkyria Chronicles Remaster: System Trailer

InTheSky February 7, 2016 Leave a reply

Sega of Japan recently published a new Valkyria Chronicles trailer called the System trailer.

The trailer looks over the BLiTZ battle system. Players transition between Command Mode and Action Mode so long as they have Command Points available left to manipulate any of their units (or so long as a Defeat condition has not yet been fulfilled.)

Command Mode serves as a map overview where you select which unit you would like to control for a set amount of Action Points (the distance that you can travel per Command Point,) and Action Mode is the on-the-ground movement mode where units interact with enemies and their environment in hopes of achieving the mission objective.
