Summary Set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of the s, Valkyria Chronicles depicts Europe divided in two and ruled by two super powers: the Empire and the Federation. Initially, members of the squad question Welkin's qualifications due to a lack of combat experience; however, he quickly earns their trust and loyalty with his tactical genius. Welkin and Alicia soon become romantically engaged. After Squad 7 wages a successful campaign against Imperial forces, the crown prince Maximilian deploys one of his commanders, Selvaria Bles , equipped with the Ragnite lance and shield of the ancient Valkyrur race , thought to have saved the ancient world from the Darcsen race.
Using her innate powers, she decimates the Gallian army. Alicia is shot by Welkin's archeologist colleague, Faldio , in order to awaken her own latent Valkyria powers. Alicia is able to drive Selveria back, allowing the Gallians to advance to the border. Selveria commits suicide in defense of the Ghirlandaio fortress , killing the self-serving Gallian commander and a large portion of the Gallian Army, but sparing Squad 7. Maximilian, wanting to create his own empire, uses his ultimate weapon, a "land dreadnought" called the Marmota , to break through Gallia's defenses and steal a giant Valkyria lance from within Randgriz Castle.
The princess reveals herself to be Darcsen - the Valkyrur rewrote history to make themselves into heroes, while an allied Darcsen tribe gained Randgriz as the spoils. With Alicia's help, Squad 7 are able to board the Marmota, destroying its engines and defeating Maximilian.
Alicia and Welkin are rescued, and return to Bruhl, where they marry and raise a child. Main Article: Character relationship diagram. Between turns, the player views an overhead map in Command Mode, but zooms in to control each individual unit on the battlefield during Action Mode. Movement and other actions are handled in real time during Action Mode, though limited by an Action Point gauge that varies for each character. During Target Mode, the player is in direct control of characters' aim while the action freezes, allowing for head shots and other maneuvers.
Taking command of individual units during the player's phase costs Command Points , which can be used to either grant movement to many different units or the same unit consecutively with diminishing AP, depending on what the player wants to accomplish. Each character in the game fulfills a specific role — for instance, Alicia is a mid-range rifle-toting scout , while Welkin is a tank commander. Other roles include assault infantry, lancers which specialize in anti-tank warfare , snipers, and combat engineers.
These various units form a rock-paper-scissors dynamic of strength and weakness. The foot soldiers Scout, Shocktrooper , Engineer , and Sniper are effective against slower anti-tank units; anti-tank units can quickly destroy tanks with a well-aimed shot and tanks are generally devastating against infantry, whose anti-personnel weapons are unable to inflict any damage except to a very small weakpoint.
By gaining experience and completing missions, the player's army will receive new recruits and their materiel can be upgraded. The environment also factors heavily in combat.
In an urban level, for example, Snipers can be sent onto rooftops to eliminate unsuspecting enemies below. Tanks can knock down walls and other obstacles to open new paths. Buildings and other structures offer hard cover around which to maneuver. Foliage offers soft cover to reduce the chance of being spotted by the enemy and to confound their aim when seen. As the Gallian forces advance across the battlefield, control points can be captured, giving the player a tactical advantage and offering additional locations in which to call reinforcements.
As Welkin, the player can issue various Orders for the purpose of things such as artillery strikes, supervising medics, and improving morale. Together, they desired to create a game that combined facets of their previous works: strategy elements from the Sakura Wars series, third-person action elements from Nonaka's Nightshade , and role-playing influence from Tanaka's Skies of Arcadia.
Originally under the working title Gallian Panzers , the team concentrated on making the strategic and action portions of the game of equal importance. Planning aspects of game play were emphasized through the Potential skill system that distinguishes individual militiamen and -women under the player's command, giving them affinities for certain environments, conditions, and each other.
