Valkyria Chronicles £19.99 @ Gamestation.
jkh13 | 8:07 PM on 12.07.2008 11 comments


I heard about this deal on friday and due to recommendation from others, decided to go out to get it yesterday, the deal is in-store only as the game isn't even listed on the website. Phoned up Gamestation and managed to reserve the last copy of it in that store, travelled for 50 minutes across London to pick it up. It seems the stores are not stocking alot of copies of it (it's unlikely there was only 1 copy left due to high demand).



Lugged my PS3 to Uni just to play it (also to replace my RROD 360 :(). This is actually the first SRPG I have ever played and also the 3rd game I have ever bought without playing it beforehand or playing its predecessor, so I wasn't sure I would like it that much (especially as I am not that big on JRPGs). Luckily enough I am enjoying it so far although it seems to have a bit of a Metal gear Solid syndrome (way too much exposition), I have just selected my squad and am about to play the first proper mission.

p.s. Do not go to Gamestation Camden town London, it's sold out there as I got the last copy :).

I wish I could get it for that price. I am getting this soon, because I wan't to support this franchise.

I got this when if first came out. But after like 5 or 6 missions in, the game gets fucking hard!

That comment made my day Garison.

Glad to hear another Dtoider enjoying the game.

It does get hard at a certain point, which forces you to be a lot more bold and radical with your battle commands and that is a welcome change for someone like me, who's played lots of SRPGs before.

You're welcome, John.

It's a brilliant game. I've been playing it all weekend. I'm about 3/4 through. The game keeps getting better. The first third was solid, but after that it really opens up. I haven't found it hard, pretty much all the missions I've been able to finish on my first try, though I get a pretty low score.

If you think its hard, I recommend doing some leveling up with the skirmishes. Get your scouts to elite level (lv 11). They become much more useful.

Thanks Mog, that really helps.

Too bad I can't stand SRPGs. I do see the quality that this game has. It's beautiful too.
