Valkyria Revolution: Vanargand Edition

About

Command a ragtag squad of survivors in this alternate history war tale. Valkyria Revolution swaps traditional turn-based mechanics for real time combat that still demands careful planning between engagements. Build your characters with modular weapon upgrades while navigating a conflict where political maneuvering matters as much as battlefield skill. The story unfolds through a student’s research project pieced together from historical accounts and personal letters. The Vanargand Edition adds collectible extras like a themed pin and box set. Soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda brings emotional weight to the industrial era setting. Players follow a fractured narrative structure where a teacher’s classroom lectures fill in gaps between the main story beats. A mix of tactical depth and character driven moments creates a 30 hour campaign with optional side conflicts.

Storyline

The story of Valkyria Revolution is told in medias res as a Jutland student working on a paper about "The Five Traitors" seeks to learn more about their history and the war between Jutland and the Ruzi Empire. His teacher, Richelle, frequently interrupts the game to elaborate on certain points within the story as told to her by her great-great-grandmother, who was a teacher to the Jutish princess at the time. The small country of Jutland was economically blockaded by Ruzhien, a powerful empire that expanded its territory and achieved rapid industrial development after discovering the azure mineral Ragnite, which serves both as an energy source and a catalyst for alchemic development. Ten years prior to the war, in the land of Molda, an orphanage was burned down by the Ruzi Emperor Klaudiusz and his four Grand Generals as they were visiting nearby Valkyria ruins. The men also kidnapped Maria, the caretaker at the orphanage. Only five orphans survived, having been away from the orphanage at the time: Amleth Grønkjær, Basil Sabancci, Fritte Eriksen, Solomon Kahlenberg and Violette Szand. The five secretly plotted to kill Klaudiusz and attempt to find Maria.
