Valkyria Chronicles is a largely overlooked 2007 PlayStation 3 exclusive. Despite its age it remains about the best looking titles on the system thanks to its wonderful art direction that blends Japanese Manga with a faux World War 2 Europe backdrop. Due to its aesthetic and being one of the few designed-for-console strategy experiences this generation it stands as something unique in a market dominated by gritty action.
