- The Valkyria franchise has been getting more and more attention ever since the first release, and I'm glad to rank the 5 current games that exist so far.

I wish there was more games like this. Fire Emblem is similar but the aesthetic is really different. Perhaps in the future there will be a Valkyria Chronicles 5.
Try code name steam on 3ds!
Try Advance Wars Days of Ruin.
There was few games with similar or identical combat system, and all of them were developed by ... Valkyria Chronicles team. Those games was: Sakura Wars 3-5 (battle system from VC is based on battle system from those games), and Shining Blade on PSP (BlitZ battle system from Valkyria Chronicles but in fantasy setting). There is also Operation Darkness on X360 published by Atlus.
My brother still refuses to play the games because "TheY'Re aNiME! tHEy CAn'T bE GooD!" As he plays the FFVII remake.
War, War has changed
FF VII Remake is more anime game than VC, maybe except VC2 ...
"Durrrrr I refuse to play Valkyria Chronicles because ItS AnIMe. Even tho I play Final Fantasy 7"

Hahahahaha 😂
Valkyria Chronicles 1 had a great story and was a great proof of concept.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 has a great story and refined the concept to pretty sweet gameplay.
It really did. 1 and 4 are equal love for me but I only put one above because welkin !!!
Top Tier: 1, 3 & 4
Mid Tier: 2
Low Tier: Revolution
Agree
@sohit singh 2 was good, it was just grindy as hell compared to the other games. If you didn't grind you were getting your ass handed to you.
@@warhawkfan1234 The RNG based class leveling system didn't help too
@@awesomehazimex7410 I started from 2 because I was in a hostel with just my phone and no real games to play, so someone gave me an emulator and the game, love the series except Revolution we don't talk about that one
I never thought I would see a best of 5 for a game with only 5 games done so far, but happily I was wrong. Fun video, cheers!!!
Yeah, I just wanted an excuse to talk about the series, hahahahaha.
the one thing that really put me off was the ranking system, just took stratergy out of the equation for raw speed and order abuse however it did feel nice beating maps with god Alicia and tank slayer Rosie
Rosie? Tank Player?!
@@foxtubelp6359he said slayer bruh
Literally playing VC4 1st play through right now, loving it so far!
Valkyria Chronicles 3 would always have a special place in my heart.
Just discovered this channel. From the campy opening to the great voice and solid opinions, I think I found a gem. Subbed
Thank you and welcome!
I would love to see a version from the Empire side
I think the next one will be from the viewpoint of Japan's equivalent as it was kind of "foreshadowed". But the Empire's version will possibly come out at some point... even though I don't really see what it could be about... other than you being the strong one and kicking the weaker countries... or some sort of a "traitor"...
@@Petya-yx2hl I mean there was a dlc from the first game that showed the early victories of the empire from the early battles from the gallian invasion maby they can do some kind of prequel campaign to when the empire first formed or during the early years of the main conflict of the games.
@@Demicleas i'd like an empire game with selvaria as main partner
@@nikogtavae8647 Id like to see my boy Johann in it as one of the Main characters . Man is a true Imperial war hero.
@@GutsOfRivia agreed I remember him now would be cool to have him as main character.true imperial hero
Valkyria Chronicles 1 is of course the best game and Alicia is so overpowered I love it
Unicorn Supremacy and order is overpowered as well
All hail the Valkyrie
@André Durán you also have her in vc 2 later on.
Vc3 is better story wise.
3 is the best I prefer acctually trying to use strategy over having one girl run past anime nazis for 8 hours.
I’m playing VC4 right now but I have great memories of VC2 which I still haven’t fully completed yet.. I’d love to see a new localized version of VC3 being most people perhaps haven’t played it..
Another cool idea would be a prequel taking place 20 years earlier WWI inspired
or a sequel in the Middle East, where they happen to find some kind of alternate fuel, that is definitely not black, not a liquid. I would like it to take place in 1947, or 1946, around that time. But I'd imagined the environment to be just have sand dunes and oasis for 75% of the playtime, or a sequel in South America or whatever it's called over there, hell, even Asia, which is likely because the Far East was hinted a few times in VC4.
Gotta go with VC3 being the best out of all of them It might only come up short graphically but anywhere else it pretty surpasses all the others by far.
It's hard to choose a winner. For a time, VC3 was my favourite, but I love 1 and 4 so much as well that I can't decide nowadays, hahaha.
Too bad it never came out in the US.
Plotwise, 3 is the best. Nameless were really heavy underdogs compared to Squad E, Class G and Squad 7 who had enough support. But I noticed the lack of map variations on missions which is understanble.
Gameplay wise, 4 takes the cake as it is massive compared to the rest of the games. Maps are varied too and grenadier is a really great new class. Although the Armored Tech are great in 3, the class changes and potential masteries felt complicated.
@@suiken3149balance wise vc3 is better balanced tbh it's less easy to exploit like vc1 and 4
1. VC3
2. VC1
3. VC4
4. VC2
5.
6.
7.
8
9.
10. Revolution
That's just your opinion, man.
10:
I fixed it for you.
i kinda find it sad that vc 2 is last i really enjoyed that we had more classes and more personality with every character not only having their own mission but also having their own story line you can interact with on the campus
I feel the reason why it's usually last is because of the map repetition and the too school anime-esque plot and too anime stereotype characters. There's no tension like the other games. It's just Valkyria Chronicles slice of life which is kinda odd when you compare it to the other entry in the series. Mind you, I liked the gameplay but after you have played through the same map over and over again...it gets kinda boring fast.
Vc2 is cool and fun but you can't deny that there's a lot of problem in the game. This is the reason why a bought my psp back in the day. I really did enjoy it. The grinding stuff could have been be enjoyable however the randomness of awards given that puts off alot if people.
@@rayqonza8084 should I finish it? I liked it but it’s way Grindy.I’m in March.would you put where in your list
@@Saifullah-nj9mz definitely finish it. If your min maxing the grinding stuff will be annoying but you can just ignore some of it and just do the mission. Though some of the maps are repetitive. The combat is still good. If your burn out of the game. Maybe you should take a week break from it and play other stuff. When you come play it again you will enjoy the game again.
I want remasters and new ports for Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 first dammit. 5 Can really wait
VC3 needs an expansion, the Game is a Masterpiece and it just needs more Big maps in the post game and thats all...if they want to add more dlc character i would be more happy...
My first valkyria is VC 2. It was fun but quite grindy. I enjoyed that one had more customization and had more focus on the social aspect. I just recently played VC1 and VC4. I was quite surprised that the original VC 1 was much simpler and not too grindy so far(in chapter 6). I played a little of VC4 and the gameplay much closer to VC1.
Valkyrie Chronicles 4 on the switch is my first Valkyrie, it’s great! Great video
I had no idea there was a Japanese only PSP release. Downloading the English patch now, it looks soo good. I'm starting with 2 on the PSP now though as an introduction to the battle system. Always wanted to play this series and now I finally am!
that's what I'm doing now!!! I'm replaying VC2 on my psp after not playing for over 10 years. I love it so much. And I haven't even played the other games in the series so I'm doing what you did. Downloading the localization patch for the PPSSPP emulator. Cheers bro!
the game after 4 sequels is still kinda broken, in the first entry was Alicia rushing with healing and now in 4 you can do it with 3 characters at the same time lol.
They have nerfed the scout rushing a little bit but rushing with minerva in 4 still works. I wish they remove that rank system or change the requirements so i don't feel that i have to rush every mission.
I do think 4 at least has missions where scout rushing even with Minerva isnt the only way you can play efficently. I feel like there are maps where the tank shines and all the classes are useful. Valkyria one was just having Alicia run from one end to the level to the end in 90% of cases.
@@GutsOfRiviaI see this as a common complaint, but wonder if it's coming from people who are talking about repeat plays. Because I reboufht the game and doing my first playthrough again and in the first playthrough, you absolutely have to us every single class (except the snipers).
@@PearLock Once I figured out that Alicia can basically run past 90% of the game to win it kinda ruined the magic of the game for me tbh. Ofc there are some maps where this dosent work but its still WAY to many to ignore.
@@GutsOfRivia On first playthrough though? For sure, after you're maxed out and doing other playthroughs, but I'm finding myself using all of the classes right now.
@@PearLock First playthrough was fine I had fun using the tank and all the other classes. But replays tend to get sullied once you know the secret (not so secret) trick.
With how Scout Rushing is such a dominant strategy and how few units are needed to win, the next game might as well be about guerrilla fighters instead of playing as a whole platoon
At least then, calling themselves a "squad" would make more sense
The newer games are cool, but nothing compares to VC1.
Thanks for doing this. Appreciate the hard work. Going to play Valkyria Revolution after am done with Ni No kuni II Revenant Kingdom
Hope you enjoy it!
My top 5
1. VC4 (Loved the story and characters. Even the Stereotypes are done really well for a fun factor).
2. VC1 (Great Origins and Nostalgia factor)
3. VC3 (Amazing concept but limited hardware)
4. VC2 ( Super Limited but full of charm)
5. VC Revolution (Not as bad as others say but could have done better).
The 3rd one has best intro.
VC3 have the Best maps, Best dlc maps and everybody can change classes...
I really love VC4. Even more than 1
Yeah, it's fantastic.
VC1 is only higher on my favorite game tier list and VC4 because of sentimental value.
Id struggle to separate them. I actually like the characters in 4. Ok Raz is a bit of an idiot. Some DLC where the two squads meet shows how similar to Rosie he is in temperament. Only ever got so far through one though. The mega tank mission always stuffed me. Finished 4 twice now. Once on PC and once on Switch
I liked it, but to me it could have been much better. In VC 1 most stages and bosses felt very different from one another, which kept me invested in the game. In VC 4 the amount of times I had to defeat Klaus for example, only for him to act all smug once I defeated him was pretty annoying. Like bro I just wrecked your tank with the hafen and 2 lancers, how are you even alive? It would have been cool if he got a completely different tank in every fight, instead of using a more armored version of the same one. I like the main cast of VC 1 better too. VC 4 did an amazing job with the side characters and their respective squad stories though I'll give it that.
VC3 has the best plot in the entire series
I strongly agree.
Just finished oml it made me cry
@@aarondichoso6557 Really hammers down just how hidden the Nameless is
I WISH I COULD FUCKING PLAY IT
Good video. I'm going to replay all the games some day, so my opinion could change but as of now, my favorite game would be 3, followed by a tie between 1 and 4, and then 2. I should mention I enjoyed 2, but I just liked the other ones more. I have not played Revolution because I was put off by what others have said about it, but after seeing this video I may consider giving it a chance one day.
Love the channel mate.
Playing VC2 on my Vita now and allready instandly loving it!!
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the best looking game and has the most complex maps and most mechanics.
Mine was:
1. VC3
2. VC1
3. VC4
4. VC2
I have yet to play Revolution, but this video makes me want to try it out. Maybe it might top VC1 for me.
Just keep in mind it's completely different from the Chronicles series.
@@ErickLandonRPG I also found the ratio story vs gameplay to be more toward story instead of 50/50. The gameplay is way faster in this game. but the story scenes are still as long as in chronicles. That is not necessarily a bad thing since revolution has quite the complex setup with five traitor that fomented a war. no spoiler please, im still at chapter 2 out of ten.
Great video, I hope they make Valkyria Chronicles 5 soon
And with title that called somelike "Veteran's Chronicles"
Gameplay with older protagonist and some buff thanks to their experiece in war. Just my opinion btw.
I really enjoyed your content. All I play is RPGs . Salute!
I've only had the pleasure of playing the original but LOVE IT!
nice ranking, it's great to see some people give Revolution a fair chance,
Here my rank for the Valkyria series
1st Valkyria Chronicles
2nd Valkyria Revolution
3rd Valkyria Chronicles 2
4th Valkyria Chronicles 4
haven't gotten the honor to play 3 yet :(
This series needs some heavy hitting advertising cuz its awesome
First play VC 1, then play VC 4, go back to VC 1, "why VC 1 so grinding!?"
VC4’s story impressed me so much, it’s one of the tightest, thematically consistent and well-paced plots in any RPG I’ve played, with very dynamic and likeable characters and a truly stand-out villain in Forseti. Both it and VC1 have excellent combat and maps but VC4’s magnificent writing boosts it far ahead of the original for me, without a doubt.
I agree wholeheartedly. I bought it last year and only played a couple chapters before stopping. Decided to download it again a couple weeks ago and my god i fell in love. The story and the characters were all so good, including the villains. Even when he was trying to kick my ass i was always cheering on Walz and wanted him to have a good ending.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is great. I'm not really one to pay attention to stories in a game, As long as the gameplay is great I'm good with it, as for the grinding problem, I didn't really care, At least it'll take longer for me to end the game so I have something that can kill my boredom. I'm the type of player who grinds a fk ton before actually doing the story missions.
You thought you could just put Minerva in the thumbnail and get me to click on your video!?
Well, you're right...
On a more serious note, nice list; I may actually give Valkyria Revolution a chance after hearing this take on it.
Ive played all VC and I must say, how love I love VC1, its VC 4 top for me and the best, maybe because of lovely Riley Miller ^^
I love those games. Valkyria Chronicles is life.
just got these games digitally and want to get the physical copies after beating them all.
hell excited 😁
I have interest on playing it long time, but just recently bought VC1 on steam at Sega's 60th Anniversary. And i love it. Made me decide to take VC4 as well
I can only go top 4, because I haven’t played rev yet.
1. Valkyria chronicles 1
2. Valkyria chronicles 4
3. Valkyria chronicles 3
4. Valkyria chronicles 2
Love this series to death and I hope we get a 5th game. Even a remaster for Valkyria 3 would be awesome.
Haven't tried 4 yet but 4's better than 3?
For the people who don't know how to play VC2 And VC3 on PC, You can download their ISOs online and use PPSSPP emulator to play with them.
I would love to see a official VC3 western release. Though we're more likely to see a VC5 announcement, which I'd be very happy with.
Great content and ergo proxy poster on the wall 👍
I agree that 1, 4 and 3 are very close together and each one has its unique strong point, and now I got 3 reasons to play the one I haven't had the chance to play, valkyria revolution
Didn't know 3 and 4 were out for psp, just played vc2 and loved it, gonna search for them, thanks
There was 7th saga in his intro. What a fucking legend!!!
Is there any point of buying the bundle on the Nintendo eshop which has the Valkyria 1 and the Valkyria 4 bundled together. Or is it better to just get the 4 with the extra DLC included? Thx
Hi, Eric!
Thanks for your video. I have a question regarding the 4:00 time code. Why VC3 look so good there? It feels like a PC port or something because there is anti-aliasing and the graphics are smooth.
Emulator
In some ways Valkyria Azure Revolution is more fun, less tactical but definitely an enjoyable experience.
Still need to play VC 2 and VC 3 holding it off hoping for a remaster with better graphics :D.
Great video
Nice list. We need Valkyria 3 for Ps4, Xbox One and Pc. I remember their characters from Project X Zone 1
I still need to play revolution. I want to add it to my collection so badly. I am obsessed with this series. I’m only missing the 3rd game because region locked. But I still love this series to this day
My tier:
1- Valkyria Chronicles 3
2- Valkyria Chronicles 4
3- Valkyria Chronicles
4- Valkyria Chronicles 2
5- Valkyria Azure Revolution
Currently playing the first one, it’s pretty tough but I like it so far lol
My first experience with the series was on steam. I played it, and thought "Cool, its like anime XCom!" Then I wanted to play the second game and find out 2 and 3 are only for PSP!
I have ALL xbox systems, switch and (No Shit) PC. Pisses me off I can't play them. And i am not going to buy a console for two games.
Did not know about Revolution though. I need to look into that. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully some day they all go to steam or switch or something and I could get the full Valkyrie experience.
There is an emulator program called "PPSSPP" you can play VC2 and VC3 on your Pc without any problems. All you gotta do is find an ISO, extract it and run it on PPSSPP. Basically type "Valkyria chronicles 2 PPSSPP download" you will find loads of sites, just click on one and do the same thing with vc3 and if you don't like pirating and want to be safe, download a virus protection and if you already have one, go ahead. I know this might be late but hey, it might help you or anyone who sees this.
@sohit singh You did not read the whole comment...
If we ever get a VC5, the biggest change I'd like to see made is the adoption of an XCom-like wound/fatigue system so there's more incentive to vary up your squad. I'd also like to see the extra turns taken away from leaders, because it punishes you so hard if you don't take all your leaders on every single mission. I just finished VC4 and felt like I got stuck with the exact same squad every single mission, except I could switch up the Lancer. And also the Engineer, but there's only 3 Engineers. Granted, unlocking Squad Stories is a huge incentive to try to squeeze every soldier in somewhere, but I want a gameplay incentive.
I agree with a fatigue system 100%, I've played 1 more than once and every single time I never used most of my squad, let alone the reserves benched in the barracks. Not sure about removing leader units though. Just as losing a leader stings, having enemy leaders to focus on to starve the AI out of CP is one of the few strategical elements this series actually has. Also 4 made leaders even better by making them able to team up with other units, that's an ability that I had a ton of fun with and I'd hate to see it gone.
And add cover system like in XCOM/Gears of War, because cover behind ONLY sandbags is really outdated mechanic. Plus give us customization from VC3, with unlocking hidden potentials and classes, which was awesome. They should also fix that clunky menu navigation.
4th is cool, but it wouldn't kill them to bring back some 3rd system back, i would prefer leveling the stats than the class, also interchangeable tank gear ,2nd started this, then 3rd, but 4th take the 1st tank system, also, to be able change your class for whatever character you want is awesome.
Hope they remake the 2nd and 3rd with the same engine as 1st and 4th.
I loved VC4. I Just wish there was more risk in losing characters and more interesting adversaries that I could actually kill. Also more defense type missions. I felt every time I put together a good defense I was forced to move everyone further along.
I would say Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better than 1. Despite my love for the original, there is no doubt in my opinion that Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better, nostalgia goggles can not blind me to that fact. It is literally VC1 but with more content, more depth for side characters, and a story that for me ended up being just as memorable as the first.
Ok, thanks to this video I returned to VC4 after two months of Backlog Cleaning (poke pikachu, odyssey, smash WoL, celeste and no more heroes) and this game is just too good. I beat the first combat against the two lolis, and I didn't realize how to handle them until very late in the battle lol
Such a great game, man. I'd put VC4 as the best one so far, just to let people know that the franchise is going strong in terms of gameplay
What's the song you use in your intro? I love it.
Description
Even thought I bought it on day one, I couldn't get into VC2--mainly because your squad had to be so small. Might go back and give it a try.
I played VC 1 and 4. They’re really good games. The story elements and character developments are well done, if a bit… predictable? I mean, if you’ve watched a lot of anime or played a lot of Japanese games, you’ll start seeing patterns, but they’re well delivered.
I was especially surprised by how mature VC 4 is. There’s swearing, edgy/sexually suggestive/psychologically disturbing content (like, if your kinda flirtatious buddy is KIA, upon returning to base you get to open her will and she leaves you her engagement ring to be returned to her fiancé) so I wouldn’t let a young kid play, but older teens and adults will probably enjoy it.
I’m a huge fan of tactical rpgs, so that I had a lot of fun with the VC ones, but my main gripe is how the best score is always achieved by getting to the objective in the least possible turns, period. So, the trick is not to try and clear the whole map, but to find a way to weasel your way to the finish line-even though it makes no sense story wise (like, you would be leaving your whole squad behind enemy lines, but since your leader is back to base, everyone’s now safe). I get how this type of mission can be fun, and having a few « against the clock » missions can be a useful story device, but if that’s the only way to get the best score (and bonus weapons etc.), then it gets a bit old and unfulfilling. At least for me. Still, I’d recommend trying these games to basically anyone.
I actually just picked up the first one about a week ago on a whim because it was a buy 2 get one free and I'm glad I did.
I remember VC2 coming to PSP instead of PS3 teenage me was so confused.
Maybe my head is broken, but i like VC2 more, then VC1 & VC4. But VC3 - is the best for me.
Same as you , but its hard to pick because all is great , VC2 is my first and i love playing it so much , then i went for VC1 but I prefer the anime , better story and emotional moments , cant even hold tears . VC3 is literally the best , VC4 is good and well-designed , nice story and even happier when i unlocked the true-ending
That job system made a big difference.
Haven't played 2 and 3, because I lack the means to play them, but I loved 1 and 4.
Revolution I locked in the same chest that I put Sonic 06 in.
God I wish they'd make more of this series. And advance the story.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is the one I'm currently playing. Mostly because it's the only one I could get to work for my emulator on my phone. Tried the 3rd one but it wouldn't work. 🤷 Don't have the money to get any physical copies of the games so this is all I could do. I've seen you talk about these games many times which is why I wanted to try them out. Any tips for the 2nd game for a beginner to the series?
1. Grind a lot (certifications for better classes)
2. Ignore Lancers in late game or level up them into Mortar class. Why ignore them in late game ? It's simple - AT Snipers with Anti Tank Sniper Rifles (from Scout branch) are far better than Lancers with very low accuracy. Mortar class is great in late game, because u can easly defeat V2 with them or kill grouped enemies in camps.
3. Tank B is the best tank in game. Why ? Their turn cost only 1 CP, great mobility and have very strong machinegun vs tank radiator / infantry / V2.
4. Do classmate missions ASAP for unlocking their hidden potencials.
5. In late game there is a very OP enemy unit - V2. Kill them ASAP, because they have:: good mobility, endurance, strong attack dmg against infantry, and they can easly one shot your tank. The best class for kill that guys are: Commando (with Flamethrower), Mortarer, Sniper Elite (with triple shot Sniper Rifles like Brondel), Fencers Elite and ofcourse tank. Gunner with light machine gun (Heavy Gunners are worse because they deal better dmg, but have very low attack range), is also good with defense from them in enemy phase.
6. Enemies Aces drops very good waepons, especially submachineguns for Schocktroopers like Hildr.
7. Ignore Enginner Elite class, Medics are much better choice. Medics can not only heal your units, but also revive your troops in battle. Buffers and Debuffers classes like Anthem Corporal are also usefull, especially in maps with many enemy infantry like Ragnite Mines.
8. Mauler is best class VS tanks i strongly recommend them with characters with ,,VS Armor boost'', they making Lancers the most useless class in game.
9. Ignore orders. They are nerfed to much, and cost much more CP than in VC1/VC3/VC4. They are still strong, but high CP cost is just not worth it.
10. Avan is very unique character, because he can by any class in game. The best class for him is not default Scout but Fencer Elite with Doube Movement hidden potential.
In all honesty I think I would have put Valkyria Chronicles 3 in front of Valkyria Chronicles 4 because I personnaly had a better time playing it and I enjoy Kurt a bit more as a leader than Claude.
Great video either way !
I played Valkyria Chronicles when it first came out and absolutely love it. I had never and have never since played any other game like it (which is not something you get to say much anymore). I plyed the 1st and 2nd games and love them both. After my PS3 broke I swore off of console gaming, so I am glad that VC4 is available for PC. Now to gather enough money to build a PC.
I never knew there was a spin-off until now. From what I have seen in the franchise, I think the first Valkyria Chronicles had the best story and animation. The fourth game I think could have been better if there wasn't so much language in it. Otherwise, it would be fine.
i'm starting love this channel more :)
for me i ranked the game like this from worst to best :
5- VC2
4- VR
3- VC4
2- VC3
1- VC1
Why do you put VC2 low in your list,Just wanted to know your reason
@@Saifullah-nj9mz imo there is no fucus point like the other games, VC2 was a mess.
but the music was the same 👍.
Valkyria chronicles 2 isn't really standalone, but you can watch the anime which revolves around VC 1 so you'll be all caught up
Great audio, I can hear you clearly without some crisp, new mic I guess?
Uh... No? I've been using the same one for almost one year already.
How is the combat in valkyria revolution other than difficulty wise?? I did wanna give it a go but wasn’t sure on that aspect
Some boss battles can be very long and hard, depending on the difficulty mode you choose. Look, do yourself a favor and don't play it on easy ;)
I don't care what other people said but I think valkyria 2 really fun with so many class compare to other valkyria
All are great games.
The 4th was close to my no.1 spot but felt like it was a step back not forward form the class system set up by part 3.
great video. i own the psp vc 2 , the vc remastered and vc4 and love them all. I will give revolution a try after your video. could anyone recommend similar games to try. (atmosphere not just genre)
I wish you added more of the differences between them. But awesome info on an amazing game. Currently playing 2 on my hacked og vita. I played the first one when it came out. Wondering which one next after I 100% this one
The Top 5 Valkyria Games!
ALSO the Worst 5 Valkyria Games! Hahaha. Well there are only five games so both ways work.
(I like the games and story though i hate fighting those endgame tanks that keeps protecting its weakspot and running away.)
Never played the spinoff, no console.
Agree a 100% with this list!
My list
1. VC 3
2. VC 1 ties with VC 4
3. VC 2
4. Revolution
mostly agree, but the new class, grenadier are not so balanced (first patch),
and the enemies/events always 'pop up' in the middle unexpectedly, and i have to save, load to get S rank. It is annoying.
But still VC4 is much more better than revolution, Revolution is not VC series, it is even not a strategic game, it sucks
4:32 I am sorry to be THAT guy but, in VC3 they were a PENAL squad not mercenaries. IE they were criminals/undesireables in the GALIA army (not the federation) and they were fighting a squad of Empire Darcsens (also undesireables in their own country) which is honestly WHY vc3 has the best story line out of all the games.
The sad part of VC 4 is (aside from raz part in VC4) sega don't give us a chance to use valkyria (we can use them for postgame only). I hope for the next VC game sega make valkyria as a protagonist :)
Не так давно появилась русская версия для psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition! Я установид это на свой psp и наслаждаюсь!))
Not so long ago, the Russian version for psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition appeared! I installed this on my psp and enjoy it!))
I read somewhere that VC4 didn't sell well, I really hope that's not true and the franchise doesn't get canned again.
Well, it sold less than Persona 5
VC3 all the way been able to use the valkyria power is awesome!!!!
Still one of the goats of gaming.
Where did you get the English version for VC3?
That was a long time ago. Just Google it.
My first game was the 4 and it was amazing. Later I tried the remaster of the 1 and didn't feel right. Rather, it feel different. I guess because the 5 has a better port for PC than 1.
Para mí esta saga es el pináculo de los juegos de estrategia por turnos en cuanto a gameplay y no se por qué hay tan pocos juegos así.
Es algo que pienso responder en el vídeo de mañana :D
@@ErickLandonRPG Genial :)
I can't believe it's 2023 and SEGA still hasn't announced anything new for this fantastic series. I wouldn't mind if they took the liberty to explore the same gameplay in alternate universes, maybe something more futuristic or medieval would be really cool.
Last game sold really bad, at least at release date for full price. And one of developers Mediavision have troubles with making games after 2018 (they developed 0 games since 2018), and SEGA GE2 is too small dev team to made a console game by himself. And priorytes for Sega now like always: Sonic, Yakuza and Persona.
@@nr2676 How bad, might I ask? It's hard to find updated sales figures. It did get 1M sales by 2020 though, that isn't half bad. People say it had a bad launch because of the competition but like, VC1 was technically a flopped launch too. Somehow SEGA greenlit the anime anyways and the game skyrocketed in sales (SEGA PR said something like a 4x spike in sales) but, were it not for that, the series could've died there.
I checked SteamDB for both 1 and 4 and it seems 1 had more than double the amount of players at launch for 4, even if 4 has more concurrent players right now. So I guess that's a bad sign.
Launch sales were around 300k copies on all platforms (similar to Star Ocean 6 sales which was also massive flop by Square Enix), Sega expected 1M launch sales like VC1 Steam port (keep atention PC port was for 20$, but VC4 was for 60$). It sold 1M copies but after 1,5 year, after many price drops to 10-20$. I think this is the problem with VC: players clearly see this is very budget title from PS3 era (same graphic, UI and engine from 2008), so they dont want to buy those games for full price for game who looks like expansion for first game (like Octopath Traveler 2 with Octopath Traveler 1, when second game sold much worse than first game). Second problem is platform, game is designed to portable gaming, but Fire Emblem totaly dominate on Switch, and we dont have Playstation handhelds like PSP or PSV, when VC2 & VC3 sold pretty good, especially VC3 in Japan which is best selling game in series in that country (it sold 300k ALONE only in Japan and only on PSP, better than VC4 worldwide at launch on multiplatform). VC4 should be VC2, released on PS3 around 2010-2011, not on PS4 in 2018. They released VC4 seven years too late, and without marketing (+ bad release date).@@Ramash440
I only played VC4 but watched the VC1 anime so I was able to follow the story.
Ive got 4 but not played it yet same with 3 which I picked up on my last trip to japan (so many damn games to play). Bought the first one shortly after it came out on PS3 and was completely blown away. In general im not a huge fan of strategy games even though I dont hate them either but I loved that game played it back to back 3 times in a row just to get all characters and their bios and also the max rank on every mission. Still my second favourite game of all time. The anime was atrocious though I just pretend it never existed.
Haven't seen the anime, I was wondering if it was any good.
