SEGA has announced that Valkyria Chronicles has been released for PC via digital download and during its first 24 hours on sale, blew all forecasts and predictions out of the water. The award-winning Strategy RPG, originally released in 2008 for PlayStation 3, forced its way to the top of the Steam download charts, beating a host of brand new games to reach number one.
John Clark, Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe, said:
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans for their support in the phenomenal success of this launch. We’re also delighted at the response from the Steam community which indicates that newcomers to the series are finding it as enchanting and engaging as those who have played it before.”
The PC version of Valkyria Chronicles supports 60fps and resolutions higher than 1080p (depending on users’ monitors), remappable controls, as well as the traditional “keyboard/mouse” PC control scheme.
Valkyria Chronicles PC also comes with:
· Hard EX Mode (harder versions of skirmish missions in the main game)
· Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” (a side story campaign)
· Selveria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame” (a side story campaign)
· Challenge of the Edy Detachment (six challenge missions)
Enjoy!

Been available for two days now.
The game is amazing and the port is very optimzed for the PC. Buy it! Do it now!
It is very optimized but didn’t fully use the mouse since the menu is still keyboard driven-and there’s a lot of menus to go through. It’s a bit sad but they have bind the keys appropriately. You instinctively know which key to click even if you didn’t pay much attention to the tutorial messages(they didn’t use a lot of keys to begin with and they are clearly labelled).
And that main musical score at the start of the game is a great motivator to get into the fight.
Yeah mouse for all the menus would be great. I’m sure they are open to constructive criticism though. They are seeing first hand right now what an at least more than half way decent port can do for the popularity of your game.
Write them an email saying that you bought and enjoyed their game but would’ve enjoyed it even more with better mouse support and ask them to patch it in and consider adding it to any possible future ports.
They won’t know what you want if you don’t tell them.
Sir yes Sir!
Every PC gamers should buy it. So they will bring us Bayonetta!
The holy grail is Vanquish. Though its sort of sad Platinum Games locks games to 1080p and 60fps on PC. Fps lock is fine to some extent, however they make action packed games, and I’m sure 144hz users at 144fps will be blown out of the water. Can’t have everything I guess.
Okay I’m buying this game dammit.
This is how you do PC right. Take note ew-bi-soft.
