Is valkyria revolution any good , I've played Valkyria Chronicles twice over the years and I don't usually replay games
I finished it and honestly, no. For the record, it's a very different game to the Chronicles games, but even disregarding that it's just not great.
The story/cast/setting are interesting but let down massively by god awful pacing, cutscene after cutscene, all very minimally animated and likes to state story points repeatedly. The gameplay has pretty much no draw, was extremely repetitive and was just you facerolling things, nothing about it feels particularly good and perhaps it was just me but every boss felt like a damage tank and nothing more with the sole exception of one early boss (Brunhilde) which felt like it actually had something to it, but then I never got that feeling from the game again.
The music is amazing however, I recommend everyone to go listen to the OST.
I don't regret playing it but clunky, mediocre action JRPGs are my guilty pleasure. If you also enjoy those then £5 is pretty reasonable for the game, but even then I'd find it hard to recommend.
