Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition

About

Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition layers tactical combat with a war story about loyalty and survival. You guide Claude Wallace and his squad through a continent torn by conflict, using turn-based battles that reward careful positioning and unit specialization. Between fights, character interactions and story choices add weight to the war’s personal cost. The Complete Edition bundles the base game with seven post-launch DLCs expanding missions, characters, and difficulty levels. The game holds an 85/100 Metacritic score for balancing strategy depth and narrative heart. DLCs like "A United Front" and "Expert Level Skirmishes" add over 20 hours of content, testing planning and reflexes. Its port on Switch lets you pause a 40-hour campaign and resume later, while the PC version brings sharper visuals. The mix of grid-based warfare and emotional stakes keeps the experience fresh past the main story’s end.

Storyline

"The continent of Europa is engulfed in the flames of the Second Europan War between the Atlantic Federation and the Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance. Although the Federation struggles valiantly against the Empire’s forces, the relentless imperial military machine threatens to consume them. With victory slipping away, the Federation executes Operation Northern Cross: a last-ditch attempt to capture the imperial capital and end the war. Commander Claude Wallace and his loyal childhood friends in Squad E are sent to fight for the desperate operation’s success, but they will have to endure harsh bone-chilling elements, waves of imperial soldiers, and the terrifying Valkyria... and unravel a grave truth that will shake them to the core."
