For some time, I used to be a bit anxious that the PC model of Valkyria Chronicles 4 would without end be lacking a few of its console-version DLC, however Sega have lastly finished us good. The remaining two add-on chapters launched this week, and are free for anybody who pre-ordered the game or purchased every other little bit of DLC. A United Front With Squad 7 and Advance Ops add new side-chapters to the game, and permit you to recruit six of the heroes from the primary game to your squad together with Squad 7’s tank, the Edelweiss. Good to see the crew again collectively, even when it took some time.
Between these two free-ish DLC packs you get one other 4 missions to struggle via, although the United Front chapter is considerably longer. Completing the Squad 7 missions will get you Welkin (and the Edelweiss), Alicia, Isara, Largo and Rosie, whereas Advance Ops (solely a single mission) will get you Edy. Unlike the opposite DLC which unlocks fairly late into the game, these new missions can be found after chapter two and are balanced appropriately. They’re a great way to bulk up your roster early on, and a should for followers of the primary VC. Just attempt to not get them killed.
If you’re hoping to save cash and solely choose up one DLC with a purpose to rating Squad 7 now, I’d advocate going with A Captainless Squad, which is the longest and most concerned of the DLC chapters. You get one other three battles right here and a few highly effective weaponry should you can seek out the enemy aces on the brand new maps. All the opposite DLCs supply one chapter of two missions every, and the Expert Skirmish pack provides you six endgame challenges. The Two Valkyria additionally doesn’t unlock till you’ve accomplished the principle game fully, and allows you to management the imperial forces for as soon as. The Squad E, To The Beach DLC can be costlier, as a result of anime swimsuits?
The two bonus chapters are out now, and are free to anybody who buys one of many 4 DLC packs, or to anybody who pre-ordered the game. A Captainless Squad is here on Steam for £4/€5/$5. Still on the fence? Steven T Wright’s Valkyria Chronicles 4 review breaks it down, though the quick model is ‘more of the same corny anime World War 2 with bells on’.
