Except it’s also possible you played Valkyria Chronicles 4 first, since the port of Valkyria Chronicles for Switch is actually the second game of the series to land on Nintendo’s turf. Regardless of where you started, it’s no surprise that another one of gaming’s beloved franchises is moving onto the Switch and with it brings along the draw of a truly portable way to dig into a deep and rewarding strategy game.

I guess the Skies of Arcadia characters transferred over from the Air Force.

In releasing Valkyria Chronicles 4 on the Switch, Sega announced that a version of the 2008 PlayStation 3 original, Valkyria Chronicles, would be brought to the system. It’s hard to say who made the right move with release order: Japan got both titles on the same day, while the rest of the world had to wait three weeks. But it was worth the wait, as the first game is a good version of a great game and it’s definitely the place to start for people who have any interest in the series.Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Switch NSP

Like the new fourth entry, the first Valkyria Chronicles follows a unit in the army of a neutral nation who has to fight off an invasion, in a clear reference to World War II-era Europe. There are survivors of a first European war, and even a race called the Darcsen who are in the army despite hostility from some rougher members of the unit and the opposing empire’s desire to exterminate them. The story focuses on the squad’s leader, tank pilot Welkin Gunther, and the unit’s best scout, Alicia. The squad gets new members as it pushes back against the invaders, but among the first members of the squad to join are Vyse and Aika from 2000 Sega RPG Skies of Arcadia.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Valkyria Chronicles is organized by missions, and the story is presented as chapters in a book format that tells the narrative as though you’re reading a history of the exploits of the protagonist. During each gameplay sortie, the game is controlled organized into two modes: Command mode where you get to see all your units placed in a map, and Action mode where you control characters and determine what they should do. With five different classes to choose from, customizable tanks to use, and a limited number of moves allocated per turn, Valkyria Chronicles is an addictive strategy series that rewards preparation and strategy.Fire Emblem: Three Houses Switch NSP

Although later games have expanded on the class system, the original game has a large focus on the environment, and taking advantage of your surroundings can really give you the edge in battle. As you win more battles, you can use the resources you accumulate can be used to upgrade your equipment and train soldiers. As soldiers get strong they can even awaken their battle potential (Unique character traits) that can make them even more effective in battle. A lot of soldiers have a unique background, which you can find in their profile. This feature was expanded on in later games to give each soldier a deeper perspective, but it’s still told quite efficient here with their personal bio.

Story

t’s also no surprise that it turned out to be a very solid port, and one that was very pleasing to discover. While both this game and Valkyria Chronicles 4 are using the same engine, we’re playing a game that was originally a Playstation 3 exclusive before it was ported to other platforms, so the task of moving it onto a less powerful machine with the Switch means the risk of technical issues is a possibility.Firewatch Switch NSP

So the issues that I found were some frame rate drops at strange points. This wasn’t enough to affect the gameplay, but if anyone is expecting a completely flawless experience then they might want to be aware that on occasion you could see some dips. Otherwise audio and visuals are here in all their glory and it’s definitely a sight to behold in docked or portable mode which look and play the same from what I could tell.
