I finally got around to checking out Valkyria Chronicles III, or Senjō no Varukyuria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles as it was originally called. It came out back in 2011 for the PSP and plays a lot like the first two games, which I loved. The story takes place at the same time as the original Valkyria Chronicles, but it follows a totally different squad – a black-ops unit made up of soldiers who’ve messed up, fighting for Gallia during the war. It was a big hit in Japan and even got an anime and manga, but it never officially made its way over here. Luckily, Valkyria Chronicles 4 did come to the States, and some amazing fans actually translated VC3 into English if you managed to snag the Japanese version. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it to experience the full story!
