Sega’s brilliant yet ridiculously under appreciated PS3-exclusive SRPG Valkyria Chronicles is finally about ready to expand thanks to new downloadable content, providing more enjoyment to those who have actually discovered the game’s tactical beauty. Currently undated and unpriced, Valkyria Chronicles‘ DLC will be out sometime this spring in three different packs, including a Hard EX Mode that ramps up the difficulty and makes thoughtful tactics much more vital to achieving victory, and two additional missions. Here are the specifics:
· Hard EX Mode – fight your way once again through the entire Imperial army, where the enemies are more lethal and your main tank Edelweiss is unavailable. You’ll have to be more strategic in order to overcome your opponents.
· Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” – six members have been separated from Squad 7 and on their journey to reunite with their squad, they stumble upon a tiny village under attack by the Imperial Army. Play as Edy and command your outnumbered team to defend the small village from annihilation.
· Selvaria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame” – Taking place right after the outbreak of Gallian battle lines, you play as Johann, a young and meek engineer assigned to Selvaria’s troop. See the action as it unfolds behind enemy lines and see the war play out through the eyes of the enemy.
