Valkyria: Azure Revolution - GameStation

Valkyria Chronicles became one of the series that got great success thanks to its very unique game system, because it combines the strategy genre – especially unit managing – with challenging high-level actions. Even the two successors were able to achieve the same feat!! And for this year, Media.Vision (which is involved in the development of Valkyria Chronicles III) is trusted by Sega to work on a spin-off version titled Valkyria: Azure Revolution, which seems to be released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 platform. information about whether this game will also be released outside the PS4 or not.

The Battle for Supremacy
The story in Valkyria: Azure Revolution revolves around Ragnite, a type of ore that is the source of a mysterious power called Magic Arts. And as a party that has a large supply of Ragnite, the Rus Empire has become the most powerful faction on the mainland. In addition to experiencing significant progress in the economic field, the kingdom has a large and strong military power thanks to the support of the Magic Arts. This becomes a big problem for Jutland, a small country that can’t develop because it is “blocked” by the Rus Empire, so they decide to invade the kingdom. And this task is also left to the two main characters that we can play, namely Amleth and Ophelia.

Amleth is an officer who is reliable in using weapons, because he is part of the elite Anti-Valkyria Unit, while Ophelia is included in the magic user category because she is able to manipulate Song Magic. Together, they must face the Rus Empire’s troops as well as Brunhild, a Valkyrian who is dubbed the “Goddess of Death” and sided with Rus. Can our two heroes complete their missions while their opponents are factions with immense military power, plus a mysterious figure of immense power?

Although until now there is not much information that can be extracted, but because it is still part of the Valkyria series, it is estimated that the gameplay used by Azure Revolution is still the same where in addition to managing your troops, we can jump into battle directly. However, unlike other games that use the BLiTZ (aka Battle of Live Tactical Zones) game system, the gameplay in Azure Revolution is called LeGION – although how it looks is still mysterious. To be sure, both Amleth and Ophelia are shown to be able to fight directly on the battlefield. Other info revealed by the developer is: the implementation of the permadeath feature, so that characters who die in battle will be lost forever. Ouch!!

For now, it is not certain whether Valkyria: Azure Revolution has the potential to become an interesting PS4 game or not, so stay tuned to find out more about it.
