Google Stadia is recruiting action strategy RPG Valkryia Chronicles 4: Complete Edition to its ranks. SEGA announced the news via a press release, revealing the game is set to debut on the streaming platform on December 8. You’ll be able to buy it for $49.99. Check out the exciting launch trailer below:
Valkyria Chronicles 4‘s story takes place in 1935, where a war between the fictional Atlantic Federation and East European Imperial Alliance is underway. Luckily for the Federation, they have eager commander Claude Wallace on hand to lead Squad E towards a swift end to the conflict. You control and guide Squad E through a long and brutal campaign.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 merges turn-based strategy with real-time third-person shooter gameplay. Its ‘Blitz’ system allows you to operate via an overhead command mode and third-person action mode’. To become victorious, you must utilize your unit classes – Grenadier, Snipers, Lancers, Engineers, Shocktroopers, and Scouts – alongside numerous battleship support options.
What also makes VC4 unique is its visual style. Its hand-drawn graphics utilize a powerful watercolor effect that gives it an eye-catching aesthetic. The game looks like an interactive painting, setting it apart from other games within its genre. The atmosphere they create is a perfect companion to Hitoshi Sakimoto’s sweeping orchestral score.
True to its name, Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition comes packed with all bonus content released for the game. This includes a whole host of additional missions and story content to quench your strategy RPG thirst.
Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition previously released on PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC. The game received generally favorable reviews among critics. June this year, SEGA revealed that the game had sold one million copies worldwide on all platforms.
VC4 is but one of 120 games Google planned to release this year on their Stadia service. The service already boasts a variety of popular titles, playable regardless of your computer’s hardware. For a Stadio Pro subscription, it’ll cost you $9.99 a month.
