Book Reviews of Valkyria Chronicles Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames))
Book Review: A good guide for a great game
Summary: 5 Stars
By way of introduction, Valkyria Chronicles (VC) is an excellent fast-paced real-time RPG from Sega. Set in what appears to be a fictional Europe, it chronicles the adventure of Welkin Gunther and his platoon of officers and soldiers as they try to fend off an invasion by the Empire.
The VC Guide by Bradygames is a good complement to the game itself. It offers the reader valuable insights into the game and its secrets, and sets out useful strategies which can be deployed in-game. Like all other Bradygames guides, it also provides detailed information on the characters (including their stats on a per-level basis) and the enemies. There is also a wealth of information on the items, weapons, armor etc. in the game. So for those of you who love stats, this Guide is for you.
The Guide is also packed with excellent screen shots which are very useful when trying to understand certain maneuvers and it helps gives the Guide a very thorough feel. It also contains area maps (with enemy locations etc) which allows the reader to have a better understanding of a particular area should he/she choose not to use the strategy suggested by the Guide.
In summary:
Pros
+ Packed with data (incl. strategies, stats and secrets).
+ Contains maps & enemy locations.
+ Contains screen shots (it's easier to understand something visually).
+ All images etc are in color (the same cell-shading approach is adopted to make the Guide look authentic).
Cons
- May be too "wordy", i.e. it requires reading several paragraphs for a particular strategy. (I should say that this is important though since a good strategy needs to be well understood in order for it to work effectively.)
- A few errors though nothing major or significant in my opinion.
- The font size in the stats sections is a little small but manageable.
Overall
In my opinion, this Guide is very comprehensive and would certainly be of use to both VC newbies as well as veterans.
