If your Japanese abilities aren’t quite what they used to be (or if they never existed in the first place), you’re going to have to sadly wait for Valkyria Chronicles 2’s summer USA release like all the other schlubs over here. Japan, however, is getting the game next Thursday, and Weekly Famitsu magazine had the first published review of it this week.
The results? Looking pretty darn good — the game got three 9’s and an 8 for a total of 35 points and a Platinum award.
“The charming, watercolor-like visuals of the previous game have been dulled a bit on the PSP,” wrote one reviewer, “but a mountain of pluses more than make up the difference. The system, which mixes action and simulation elements, is as good as ever and has been further enhanced. You can feel the originality in this game, and I love it.”
