Valkyria Chronicles 4 2018

Is it still worth playing?

Claude Wallace, commander of Squad E of the Federation Army, leads a mission into the heart of the Empire to take out its capital, in this 2018 tactical role playing game. In Command mode, each turn gives you a set number of Command Points, selecting a unit costs one, and when they run out the enemy moves. Once you pick a unit, the view switches to third person, and its movement depends on its Action Points. An aiming reticle lets you go for headshots, which do the most damage but are harder to land. A soldier who runs out of health lies injured for a few turns, and a medic has to reach them or they die for good. The classes include shocktroopers, engineers, snipers and the new grenadiers. The story is told as a book of history in watercolor art. Turns where you spend command points and then take aim yourself still make every unit's move a choice.
