First played this on the PSP. The challenge level is almost non-existent, but its a true feel-good experience lifted by charming visual designs and great music. It's understandable why Sega might not have translated this at the time of its original release, but nowadays it stands a much better chance to find a receptive audience. It seems a shame that this is not more easily available considering the games have been ported to PC.

Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935.[3] Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption.
