The notion of an established franchise taking chances and trying new things via spinoffs has an inherent draw to it, but that doesn’t mean execution is easy. After three relatively well received (though perhaps increasingly less influential) Valkyria Chronicles games, Sega rightly decided it was time to try something new with Valkyria Revolution. While I can’t say with certainty that fans across the spectrum are…
-
Compelling, all-new plot and backstory
-
Impressive production value
-
Return of strategy elements from former Valkyria games
-
New action gameplay, while serviceable, may not have been necessary
-
Poor general pacing, especially between story and combat sections
-
Voice acting adds little and doesn't match the tone Revolution aims for
