As I stated in my preview of Valkyria Chronicles 4 at the start of the month, I absolutely loved Valkyria Chronicles when it came out on the PS3. What captured me was a host of highly engaging characters featured in one of the most charming and visually appealing games I’ve ever had the joy of playing. I thought and still think it was impeccable.

Impeccable is a word that I’ve never used to describe a game before (I’ve checked) and I genuinely mean it. The same charming style has continued into Valkyria Chronicles 4, which is only improved by advances made in the past ten years. I can’t adequately explain how much I love the visual design – fuelled by the CANVAS Engine – and the game as a whole. Still, I’m going to try my best.
