Valkyria Chronicles 4 announced for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch

Following the launch of a teaser website last week, Sega has officially announced Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch. It will launch in the Americas and Europe in 2018. In Japan, where an Xbox One version will not be released, it will launch for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Sega:

About

It is the year 1935 EC…

The continent of Europa is engulfed in the flames of the Second Europan War between the Atlantic Federation and the Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance. Although the Federation struggles valiantly against the Empire’s forces, the relentless imperial military machine threatens to consume them. With victory slipping away, the Federation executes Operation Northern Cross: a last-ditch attempt to capture the imperial capital and end the war.

Commander Claude Wallace and his loyal childhood friends in Squad E are sent to fight for the desperate operation’s success, but they will have to endure harsh bone-chilling elements, waves of imperial soldiers, and the terrifying Valkyria… and unravel a grave truth that will shake them to the core.

Key Features

A Coming-of-Age Story in a Time of War – Valkyria Chronicles 4 takes place in the same timeframe as the original Valkyria Chronicles, but focuses on a whole new cast of main characters. Players will take command of the eager, young Commander Claude Wallace, engineer/heavy weapons extraordinaire Riley Miller, hotheaded Darcsen Raz, ice-cold ace sniper Kai Schulen, and more. Together, they will experience the painful realities of war–but will the bonds of Squad E’s friendships survive the frozen battlefield?

The Next Generation “BLiTZ” Battle System – The part overhead turn-based strategy, part RPG, and part real-time 3rd person shooter “BLiTZ” battle system returns to the field. New features include an explosive new class called the Grenadier, numerous offensive/defensive battleship support options, chances for a unit to have a “Last Stand” action before death, and more. Plus, fight the imperial threat with more units on larger-scale maps than ever before.

CANVAS Aesthetics – The series’ signature hand-drawn visual style is back and overhauled for the newest generation. Inspired by watercolor compositions, the CANVAS Graphics Engine blends visual elements of reality and imagination to create an expressive world filled with colorful emotions. Watch the journey of Squad E unfold like an interactive painting!

The Return of a Legendary Composer – The illustrious Hitoshi Sakimoto, original composer of the Valkyria Chronicles series and countless other emotional epics, returns to provide a sweeping orchestral soundtrack for the game.

In Japan, the standard edition of Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PlayStation 4 will cost 7,990 yen and a “10th Anniversary Memorial Pack” limited edition will cost 12,990 yen. First-print copies of the game will include an additional mission. Here are the details:

PS4 Version Limited Edition

The “10th Anniversary Memorial Pack” limited edition will include the following:

A copy of Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PlayStation 4

A product code for the additional story downloadable content “Joint Operation with Squad 7” – A story in which Squad 7 from the original Valkyria Chronicles appears. By playing this downloadable content, the Edelweiss operated by Welkin Gunther, as well as Alicia Melchiot, Largo Potter, and Brigitte “Rosie” Stark will be made available in the main story of Valkyria Chronicles 4. Additionally, Isara Gunther can be acquired as a unit for the first time.

10th Anniversary Soundtrack – A CD containing a selection of music from the series’ four titles.

10th Anniversary Illustration Book – A booklet filled with illustrations from the series’ four titles. The front cover illustration is done by Raita Honjou. It is B5-size and 72 pages long.

PS4 Version First-Print Purchase Bonus

First-print copies of Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PlayStation 4 in Japan will include the additional mission downloadable content, “Preemptive Special Tactics.” By clearing this mission, you can use Edy Nelson from the original Valkyria Chronicles as a unit in the main story.

The November 22-due issue of Weekly Famitsu will also have a feature on Valkyria Chronicles 4, but the online version of the publication went up with a few preliminary details on four of the characters.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 introduces Grenadier class
《战场女武神 4》开发有2年之久 目标回归系列原点

　　昨日，世嘉官方公开了新作《战场女武神4》，游戏的PS4版将在2018年3月21日发售，Switch版则将在2018年夏季发售，欧美地区将推出Xbox One版本。值得注意的是，游戏的PS4和Switch繁体中文版也确认同步发售。

　　根据公开的采访显示，《战场女武神4》开发已有2年之久，如果算上筹划期的话，这个时间还会更久。

　　制作人表示游戏在回归系列原点的同时，希望还能吸引更多的全球玩家，并让《战场女武神》系列成为一款世界性质的游戏作品。此外除了回归原点，制作组也为新作的质量进行了提升。

　　新作中将出现更多让玩家产生情感共鸣的角色，而超能力的角色则会变少。制作组还特意采访了参加了二战的老兵以获得更多故事灵感，这些真实的经历也将对游戏中的情感故事起到升华的作用。


The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new details on the newly announced Valkyria Chronicles 4.

The tactical RPG is being produced by Katsura Mikami, who was one of the producers of this year’s Valkyria Revolution. According to Mikami, Valkyria Chronicles 4 will be a “proper evolution that returns to [the series’] origins.” It is set in the same era and intense cold region as the first game.

The new “Grenadier” class can use grenade guns that have long range and high ballistic altitude. By firing it in the sky, you can unleash an attack that flies over the enemy’s cover. If an ally catches hold of the enemy’s location information on the front lines, a Grenadier can attack the enemy without the enemy seeing them. However, they cannot attack an enemy directly in front of them.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.

Here’s a few new details:

Raz is quick to get into fights and talks with a rough tone, but is a passionate man who cares for his friends. Kai Schulen is a silent and blunt character who speaks with a manly tone.

The familiar Tanks, Scouts, Engineers, Lancers, and such of the series will also appear. The three-way deadlock of Soldiers, Lancers, and Tanks is also alive and well.

Development on Valkyria Chronicles 4 is currently 90 percent complete.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 details world, Raz and Kai Schulen

Sega has updated the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4 with new information on the recently announced tactical RPG.

Get the details below.

■ World

The setting is the fictional continent of Europa. Specifically, the entire western region of the largest continent in the northern hemisphere. Since ancient times, many battles for supremacy have been fought in pursuit of the country’s unification.

In the 1800s, the continent of Europa was divided into two major powers in the east and west: the allied nation called the “Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance,” which governs the country with an emperor at its center, and the federation of republic states known as the “Atlantic Federation,” which abolished Imperial rule. Eventually, both powers fought over the mineral resource known as “Ragnite.”

In 1935, world affairs steadily worsened, and the Imperial army violated the non-aggression treaty and began advancing onto the Federation. And the greatest war in history, the “Second Europan War,” which engulfed the entire continent of Europa, suddenly commenced.



Claude Wallace, who participated in the war as captain of the Federation army’s Squad E, fought an early battle in the war and struggled to attain victory.

However, three months after the war began, the Federation army, which was repeatedly defeated by the Imperial army’s overwhelming resources ended up in a difficult situation.

After finishing a battle, Claude returned to base and was informed by his superior of a large-scale strategy having begun. It was “Operation Northern Cross,” a major counterattack to raid the empire’s capital city in order to overturn the Federation’s numerical inferiority.

■ Characters

Raz (voiced by Kazuya Nakai)



Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer and Assault soldier. His rank is sergeant. He is aggressive and quick to get into fights, and talks with a rough tone. He tends to misunderstand due to his clumsy personality, but he is extremely caring of his friends.

Kai Schulen (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto)



Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer. She is a sniper master sergeant. She is Claude, Raz, and Riley’s childhood friend, and is usually silent and blunt. With the nickname “One Shot Killer,” she is a prodigy sharpshooter whose eyes conceal a strong purpose.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.

帝国军部队X-O“ZX·OULU”

　　被称为“ZX·OULU”的帝国军部队是与女武神库莱玛利亚一起数次与主角率领的E小队进行战斗的敌人，并且是研究开发帝国军兵器的部门“帝国科学院”最高干部直属的特务试验部队。除了最强的敌人库莱玛利亚外，其它的成员也很不一般。
　　
ZX·OULU的作战参谋 弗尔瑟(CV：石川界人)

　　因为才能出众被收编进来成为作战参谋的青年，由于腿脚不太好所以不能直接参加战斗。总是拥有自己就是正确的自信，无论何时都非常冷静并且不畏惧任何事物拥有很强的抗压能力。出自他的谋划进行的周密作战令库罗德等人非常痛苦。
　　
ZX·OULU的主管 贝尔加(CV：速水奖)

　　出身于被帝国吞并的小国的贵族。由于拥有杰出的科学技术才能成为了帝国科学院的最高干部。拥有将官级别的特权，而驱使着直属的部队ZX·OULU在战场上肆意驰骋。

　　除了ZX·OULU外，帝国军也有其他的部队登场，奥斯布尔夫就是其中之一。克劳斯年幼丧母，被镇子的人们保护并培养长大，所以拥有守护帝国人民的强烈信念。战斗中相信自己的直觉与嗅觉，行动当机立断，屡立战功。在战场上会驾驶专用的战车进行战斗。

　　新系统“BRAVE”：这是一个在濒死状态下一定几率可以发动的选择。当角色HP变为0就会进入濒死状态，这时如果被敌人接触或是3个回合过去就会死亡。

　　如果发生BRAVE，选择嘱托可以恢复一点行动CP并让附近的我方角色得到强化效果，如果选择奋起则可以恢复一点攻击AP并以无敌状态进行一次移动和攻击。



　　游戏中的兵种除了侦察兵、突击兵、支援兵、对战车兵、狙击兵外，新增了一种掷弹兵。掷弹兵能够发射抛物线型的导弹，越过遮挡物攻击敌人。

Valkyria Chronicles 4 details characters, battle system, classes, more

Sega has relaunched the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4, providing a plethora of information and screenshots on characters, the CANVAS graphics engine, the BLiTZ battle system, and the six character classes.

Get the details below.

■ World

Prologue

The setting is the fictional continent of Europa. Specifically, the entire western region of the largest continent in the northern hemisphere. Since ancient times, many battles for supremacy have been fought in pursuit of the country’s unification.

In the 1800s, the continent of Europa was divided into two major powers in the east and west: the allied nation called the “Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance,” which governs the country with an emperor at its center, and the federation of republic states known as the “Atlantic Federation,” which abolished Imperial rule.

In 1935, world affairs steadily worsened, and the Imperial army violated the non-aggression treaty and began advancing onto the Federation. And the greatest war in history, the “Second Europan War,” which engulfed the entire continent of Europa, suddenly commenced.



Claude Wallace, who participated in the war as captain of the Federation army’s Squad E, fought an early battle in the war and struggled to attain victory.

However, three months after the war began, the Federation army, which was repeatedly defeated by the Imperial army’s overwhelming resources ended up in a difficult situation.

After finishing a battle, Claude returned to base and was informed by his superior of a large-scale strategy having begun. It was “Operation Northern Cross,” a major counterattack to raid the empire’s capital city in order to overturn the Federation’s numerical inferiority.

■ Characters

◆ Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1

Claude Wallace (voiced by Ryousuke Kanemoto)



Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E squad leader and tanker. A first lieutenant. He is a serious, passionate, and caring commanding officer. He is a talented individual who graduated at the top of his class at Edinburgh Military Academy. He has no military shortcomings, and in addition to military skills, he has an animalistic intuition in regard to the weather and climate. His “Revelation of the Wind,” a perfect guess of the change in weather from a few minutes to several days later, often ends any stalemate. He has a strong determination to accomplish his objective, and even in the face of a difficult mission, inspires his comrades with his fiery determination.



Riley Miller (voiced by Nao Touyama)



A member of the Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Batallion’s Heavy Weapons Support Team and a grenadier. A second lieutenant technician with great scientific ability, who is prideful and has great confidence in herself, and is a genius in Ragnite engineering. She specializes in mental arithmetic and physical calculation, and thus exhibits talent in ballistic calculation as a gunner. She and Claude are childhood friends, but it seems that something that occurred in the past, as they are currently not on speaking terms. Before the war, her Ragnite engineering talent enabled her to skip a grade and advance to the University of the United States of Vinland. She is positive and cheerful, and ambitious in that she pushes forward without fear of failure.



Raz (voiced by Kazuya Nakai)



Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer and Assault soldier. His rank is sergeant. He is aggressive and quick to get into fights, and talks with a rough tone. Since his people, the Darcsen, once devastated the continent, they are still persecuted to this day and do not have surnames. His physical ability is very high, to the point where he calls himself “Immortal Raz,” and both his physical strength and agile nature make him incredibly efficient as a soldier. He tends to be misunderstood due to his clumsy personality, but he is extremely caring of his friends.



Kai Schulen (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto)



Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer. She is a sniper master sergeant. She is Claude, Raz, and Riley’s childhood friend, and is usually silent and blunt. With the nickname “One Shot Killer,” she is a prodigy sharpshooter whose eyes conceal a strong purpose. Also, her physical strength is second to none when compared to a common soldier. While she may sound mannish and curt when she speaks, she is actually very mature and kind. She loves fresh-made bread.



◆ Imperial Army

Crymaria Levinc (voiced by Yukana)



A member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, “X-0.” A special duty captain, she is a Valkyria who possesses miraculous ability, and can even has the power to destroy a tank with a single blow. She was forced to live as an experimental body and was unable to build up normal human relations, so she does not like to associate with others. She appears cold, cruel, and silent, but given that she was at the Valkyria Experimental Facility up until just before she was assigned to X-0, she is mentally immature and ends up revealing her emotions. While there are some who treated her as a normal human after escaping her life as an experimental body, her long stay at the Experimental Facility caused her to developer a strong inferiority complex, and as a result she seeks out the warmth of others. She is also a being of legend on the battlefield revered as “Witch of the Snowstorm” for the way she enters and leaves the battlefield with a snowstorm. She is accompanied by a wolf named Fenrir, who is a friend from her time at the Experimental Facility.

kirassss

Klaus Walz (voiced by Hiroki Touchi)



The commanding officer of the Imperial Army’s independent gang known by the name “Ausbruch.” He is a lieutenant colonel. He is OK with anything as long as it interests him and does not bother with trivial matters, but will fixate on important things and hunches to the very end. In that sense, he will obediently follow his brimming curiosity. Because he believes in his own intuition and keen nose to make quick decisions and take action, he makes mistakes from time to time and tends to jump to conclusions, but that is also the reason for his great success and one of his personal charms. Since he lost his mother at a young age and grew up under the protection of the townspeople, he fights with the strong desire to protect the people living in the Empire, as well as a strong conviction to protect his homeland. He relentlessly pursues Squad E, which he calls “Femme Fatale.”



Forseti (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa)



A special duty captain among the tactical officers in the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. He is a man with great confidence in himself, who is always calm and has a strong spirit that does not frighten. He judges all matters and takes action with a cool and dry attitude, but if his opponent exceeds his expectations or the like, he rides that emotion and loses sight of his surroundings. He always thinks he is right and has a strong determination to see things through. Due to a leg injury, he cannot participate directly in battle, but Belgar, who acknowledges Forseti’s talents and invited him to join X-0, he acknowledges Forseti as someone with clever and rational ideas that remind him of himself.



Belgar (voiced by Shou Hayami)



Supervisor of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. He is the top executive at the Imperial Science Institute, which develops various heavy weapons according to the Empire’s requests. As a noble from a country annexed by the Empire, he has no feelings of patriotism for the Empire, but has had interest in science and technology since childhood. He procures funds from the Empire in order to acquire that technological strength for the military and continue his own studies. He both a natural politician and stubborn, and established a position in the military and gained fame in order to help his family name. He has the authority of an admiral, and with X-0 as the chess pieces under his direct control, he does whatever he desires on the battlefield.



Nikola Graf (voiced by Naomi Ohzora)



A special group member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. Like Chiara, she works under Belgar and was raised alongside Chiara like a sister in the Imperial Research Institution from a very young age. As a bodyguard under Belgar’s direct control, she is assigned the duty of eliminating Belgar’s enemies. Because her body has been strengthened through repeated “adjustments,” her spirit is partly broken and she lacks a humanistic way of thinking. She is sadist who loves to torment others, but is the malicious type who likes to drive the enemy into a corner mentally rather than through direct violence.



Chiara Rocino (voiced by Yuikiyo Fujii)



A special group member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. She was raised alongside Nikola like sisters in the Imperial Research Institute overseen by Belgar. She is obedient to Belgar and will abide by any command, but given that Belgar is both someone she owes her life to and a “father,” she only considers it natural. Also, harsh “adjustments” await for when she does not abide by his commands. She has a strong desire to be recognized by Belgar, who she calls her “father,” and not be cast aside, and often acts selfishly. Like Nikola, she loves to torment others, but unlike Nikola, Chiara does so with straightforward and relentless physical violence.



■ Systems

◆ CANVAS Graphics Engine

The CANVAS Graphics Engine, through which hand-painted watercolor illustrations come to life, has evolved in pursuit of an even greater hand-painted impression, higher density, and a warm, detailed expression. Players will be invited to a story that plays out in a unique game world where there is discrepancy in contour lines, extruding color, shadows depicted with oblique lines, sound effects where text appears on the screen, and more.





V







◆ BLiTZ Battle System

The “BLiTZ” battle system, which blends strategy and action, has carried out various evolutions including the series’ largest maps, a higher number of units, new classes, and more. Actively move the characters on the field with a heightened sense of reality from the addition of counterattacks when under fire, and repel the enemy force while running about in real-time.

01. Book Mode



By selecting an “Episode” written in the notebook, you will read and progress the story. By selecting an episode with a “NEW” icon attached to it, you can read the next episode. Also, by selecting an episode with a map, you can begin a battle episode.

02. Briefing



By selecting a battle episode in Book Mode, you will move to the Briefing Screen before going into battle. On the Briefings screen, the strategic details of the battle are explained. From there, you can decide which characters to send into battle, as well as determine their starting positions.

03. Command Mode



When you start the battle, the terrain and position of enemy characters are displayed on the screen. This screen is called “Command Mode.” When it is the enemy’s turn, you will first enter Command Mode and can get a full view of the current situation on the map and the positions of the enemy units. Choose which characters you want to take action while monitoring the terrain and enemy’s position.

One CP is consumed when one character moves. When your CP becomes zero, it switches over to the enemy’s turn. The enemy also has CP, which is uses to move. When the enemy’s turn ends and it becomes an ally’s turn again, you will recover a fixed amount of CP.



What is CP?: CP stands for Command Points, which are a value that indicate the power to command your force. The player can move their ally characters based on the number of Command Points available.

04. Action Mode



By choosing a character in Command Mode, it switches over to “Action Mode” in order to move that character. In Action Mode, you can freely move the character using the d-pad or left joystick. Only the characters designated in Command Mode can be moved during Action Mode. The enemies and allies outside of those designated during Command Mode are essentially immobile.



By pressing the R1 button during Action Mode, the screen will switch to “Target Mode.” By switching to this screen, you can align your shot to attack the enemy. Even if the attack ends, remain on alert as the targeted enemy will counterattack if he was not killed! It should be noted that you can only attack once for a single action.



What is AP?: AP are Action Points, which determine a character’s ability to take action. The player can only move characters in proportion to the amount of AP available. (Your AP bar will decrease as you move.) If you detect an enemy, you can ready your gun to attack.

Battle Memo

—Regarding aiming and weaknesses

The outer circle displayed in your sights when attacking indicates that bullets will be shot within it. Aim for an enemy within the circle. If a bullet hits a weak point, such as a soldier’s head, you can deal great damage. Being that the number of shots is indicated at the top of the screen, whether the enemy can be defeated is indicated under “To Kill,” so aim skillfully in order to defeat the enemy.

—Moving to the enemy front opens you up to a counterattack

By moving in front of the enemy on the map, even if it is your turn you will be greeted with a violent counterattack. Additionally, in Valkyria Chronicles 4 if you detect an enemy you can counterattack by the new “Grenadier” class tossing a grenade. Grenade-based attacks can also be done from positions that are not directly visible, so be on the lookout.

05. Recovery and Ragnaid



Each turn, soldier characters will recover a fixed amount of HP. However, in situations such as when you have been dealt a great amount of damage, it may be dangerous not to recover immediately. In those situations, you can use the “Ragnaid” possessed by the soldier character to recover. Engineer characters possess a “Rebirth Ragnaid” that is expected to have an even greater effect.

06. The Verge of Death, Death, and Medics



When you take damage from enemy attacks and your HP becomes zero, that character will enter the “verge of death” state. A character in the verge of death state is unable to take any action. Furthermore, if they are left as is for three turns, or if an enemy comes into contact with them, they will become “dead” and can never be used again (with the exception of some characters).



In order to defend against “death,” an ally character must make contact with and rescue a character on the verge of death. By rescuing them, a medic will appear and the dying character will retreat from battle. The withdrawn character can be brought back onto the battlefield during the next turn.

07. Brave [New System]



Among the new actions in Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the “Brave” system. When a character enters the verge of death stage as a result of the enemy’s attack, their dauntless fighting spirit will rise and a situation will arise where you can take one final action, which is called a Brave.

There are two types of final actions—“Rise Up” (a counterattack on the enemy’s turn) and “Entrust”—from which you can choose between while a timer is displayed on the screen.

If you choose “Rise Up,” you can become invincible for a fixed period of time (for one AP Gauge) and take one action. If you choose “Entrust,” an ability of the most nearby ally will rise, and you will recover one CP. The ability that rises depends on the class of the unit on the verge of death. Choose an action based on the situation to carry out that character’s dying wish.

08. Base



On the battlefield is a location known as your “base,” where you can receive various benefits. Allies within the vicinity of the base will have their defense power, and HP and ammunition recovered per turn increase. Also, standby characters and withdrawn characters can be summoned as reinforcements. You can occupy an enemy base by approaching their flag after defeating all of the enemies defending it. There are both “main bases” and “standard bases.” Battles are won by occupying the main base.







◆ Classes

There are six types of soldiers: “Scout,” “Assault,” “Engineer,” “Lancer,” “Sniper,” and “Grenadier.” Learn the characteristics of each class, form your unit, and lead your army to victory.

Grenadier

A class that equips grenade launchers (mortars) and uses high-angle fire grenade attacks. It is possible for a Scout to gather information and a Grenadier to attack from behind cover outside the enemy’s line of sight, as well as counterattack an enemy not within your own line of sight. Also, since the blast of a grenade attacks a certain range, it can also be used as a way to destroy sandbags from long distances.





Scout

The overall standard class of the army, which emphasizes mobility. They have a high amount of AP. Scouts are equipped with a rifle, and the distance at which they can detect hidden enemies is longer than other classes. As its name suggests, it exhibits its strength in scouting. Since a Scout’s AP is extremely high, one of its characteristics is the ability to cover a wide range, and while its rifle’s range is to some extent longer and its accuracy is higher, the power of the rilfe itself is not as high.





Assault

A class with superior combat ability against the enemy soldiers moving out on the front lines in response to information gathered by the Scout. Because its fire power is concentrated on the front lines, it uses heavy equipment compared to the Scout. It can attack and counterattack making use of its high attack power machine gun. Also, because bullets from the machine gun easily scatter during rapid fire, the closer you approach the enemy, the easier it is for all of the bullets to hit.





Engineer

A class that specializes in recovery and replenishment on the front line. It can repair tanks and sandbags, as well as remove land mines. It possesses a “Ragnaid” that can revive front line soldiers on the verge of death, and can also replenish ammunition.





Lancer

A class that specializes in tank destruction. It is equipped with a high armor damage ability anti-tank lance, which essentially makes it the only class capable of destroying a tank. Also, it is resistant against blast attacks such as high-explosive projectiles. Since the range of its anti-tank lance is relatively long, it is not suitable for precision-based shooting, so it is important to get closer before attacking. However, because the Lancer does not have high movement power, it is necessary to keep an eye on its AP as not to run out.





Sniper

A class whose main duty is long-distance sniping. Equipped with a sniper rifle, the Sniper can make use of the distance to eliminate distant enemies without fear of counterattack. On the other hand, the Sniper has limited mobility and poor defense, easily taking more damage than other classes. Using the scope while on the aiming screen enables precision shooting from long distances. It is up to the player to decide whether to risk missing a headshot, or aiming for the body which is easier to hit but does less damage.

首作系统的「正统进化」介绍《战场女武神 4》游戏世界观及系统情报
转载 - 巴哈姆特（https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/3/156883.html）

　　SEGA Games 制作的战略仿真角色扮演游戏《战场女武神 4（戦场のヴァルキュリア 4）》预定 2018 年 3 月 21 日推出 PS4 版，2018 年夏季推出 Nintendo Switch 版。

　　本次报导将为玩家介绍本作世界观、故事序章、主要角色以及游戏系统等等游戏概要情报。

　　从公开的游戏画面应该可以看出来，本作是浓厚继承了系列首部作品《战场女武神》特征的「正统进化」作。 游戏视觉一样采用「CANVAS」，以近似水彩画的色调，表现出有手绘风格，质感很有温度的 3D 模块。

　　首先来简单整理本作世界观，以及游戏故事序章部份，在《4》代当中，是以征历 1930 年代的欧洲大陆为游戏舞台。

　　征历 1930 年代，欧洲大陆的势力圈几乎被「东欧帝国连合（帝国）」和「大西洋连邦机构（连邦）」一分为二。

　　两阵营之间的情势，随着争夺矿物资源「拉古耐特（ラグナイト）」而显得越趋紧张，征历 1935 年，帝国军撕破互不侵犯条约，挥军进击到连邦的同盟国境内，于是引发卷入欧洲大陆全土的史上最大规模大战「第二次欧洲大战」。

　　在《战场女武神 4》当中，将会从隶属连邦旗下的恩汀帕拉（エディンバラ）连合王国军成员，参与这场大战的主角－－库洛德的角度，来描写这场大战。

　　开战三个月后，库洛德率领的连邦军 E 小队已经进攻到帝国领土内，在首战险胜后回到据点，却被司令官告知，即将要发动「北十字星（ノーザンクロス）作战」。

　　面对帝国军压倒性的物量，连邦军节节败退，为了扭转不利的情势，决定发动突袭帝国首都的大反攻作战。 库洛德等人要在战争这种非日常情况当中，一面和同袍伙伴交流，并同时为了终结战争而奋战。

《战场女武神 4》的世界、故事

游戏舞台是虚构的欧洲大陆，指位于北半球的地球最大大陆西部地区，自古以来就有许多势力，为了统一全欧洲，反复引发霸权之争的地区。

从 1800 年代以来，欧洲大陆就被以皇帝为中心统御国家的连合国家「东欧帝国连合」，以及废除王政转向共和政体的共和国国家连合体「大西洋连邦机构」，这东西两大国家一分为二。

最终这两大阵营，因为争夺矿物资源「拉古耐特」而互相对立，在征历 1935 年，世界情势不断趋向紧张，帝国军撕破互不侵犯条件，挥军攻进连邦的同盟国内，于是爆发最终卷入欧洲大陆全土，历史上规模最大的大战「第二次欧洲大战」。

本作《战场女武神 4》当中，将会以连邦内部拥有强大发言权的恩汀帕拉连合王国军成员，参加这场大战的游戏主角－－库洛德的立场，描写第二次欧洲大战。

库洛德以连邦军 E 小队队长身份从军参战，在首战当中获得一场险胜。

但是才开战三个月，连邦军就在帝国压倒性物量下节节败退，已然陷入劣势。 战斗结束后，库洛德回到据点，从司令官口中得知，马上就要发动大规模作战。 连邦为了扭转劣势，决定发动突袭帝国首都的大反攻作战－－「北十字星作战」。





那天，我们还相信这世界上有东西值得赌上性命。
明明就还不知道，接下来将会付出怎样的代价。
这一场战争，就是我们的青春。
－－出自「库洛德 ‧ 渥雷斯的手记」

　　同时也要介绍「库洛德」、「蕾莉」、「拉兹」、「凯伊」等四名角色。 四人都是隶属于「恩汀帕拉军第 101 帅团第 1 战斗旅团第 32 机甲游骑兵大队」，库洛德是 E 小队的队长兼战车车长，拉兹和凯伊是分队长。 蕾莉则是隶属于重火器支持中队。

　　库洛德和蕾莉是青梅竹马，但过去似乎发生了某些事情，现在两人之间的关系有些疏远。

◆ 库洛德 ‧ 渥雷斯（クロード・ウォレス）（配音：金本凉辅）



恩汀帕拉军第 101 帅团第 1 战斗旅团第 32 机甲游骑兵大队 E 小队小队长兼战车长，阶级中尉。 是个个性认真的热血男儿，非常热心的队长。

是恩汀帕拉陆军士官学校首席毕业的天才军人，军事知识渊博，除了军事方面外，关于天候气象也有很敏锐的动物性直觉，三不五时靠着能够推测数分到数天后天气变化的「风中传言（风のお告げ）」扭转战局。 拥有能够专注于目的上的强悍意志力，在面对困难任务时，也会以热情来鼓舞伙伴。



◆ 蕾莉 ‧ 米菈（レイリィ・ミラー）（配音：东山奈央）



恩汀帕拉军第 101 帅团第 1 战斗旅团第 32 机甲游骑兵大队重火器支持中队掷弹兵，阶级为技术少尉。 极负自信且自尊心高的理科女，是拉古耐特工学天才。 擅长心算和物理计算，作为一个炮兵，把才能发挥在计算弹道上。

和库洛德虽然是青梅竹马，但似乎因为过去发生的某些事情，使两人现在关系疏远。 战前因为在拉古耐特工学上的才能被看中，而以跳级生身份进入宾兰德（ビンランド）合众国大学就读。

个性积极开朗，是不畏失败会勇往直前的坚强人物。



◆ 拉兹（ラズ）（配音：中井和哉）



恩汀帕拉军第 101 帅团第 1 战斗旅团第 32 机甲游骑兵大队 E 小队分队长突击兵，阶级为中士。 个性冲动好战，说话口气也很粗暴。

因为是被人认为过去令大陆荒废，所以直到今日依然遭受迫害的民族「达尔克斯人（ダルクス人）」，所以没有姓氏。 自称「不死之身的拉兹大爷」，正如同其所说，身体能力优异，作为一个军人，拥有十分突出的肌力和敏捷度。 因为为人笨拙的关系容易受人误解，但其实非常为伙伴着想。



◆ 凯伊 ‧ 休雷（カイ・シュレン）（配音：坂本真绫）



恩汀帕拉军第 101 帅团第 1 战斗旅团第 32 机甲游骑兵大队 E 小队分队长狙击兵，阶级为士官长。 和库洛德、拉兹、蕾莉是青梅竹马，平常沉默寡言反应冷淡。

拥有「一弹一杀」称号的天才狙击手，眼神当中透露出坚强的意志。 另外其身体能力也和一般士官不相上下。

说话口气接近男性，感觉起来很冷漠，但其实个性文静又温柔，最喜欢刚出炉的面包。



　　说到《战场女武神》系列，当然不能少了战车，在本作当中是以「哈芬号」作为部队轴心。 虽然以防御能力来说低于帝国制战车，但机动力和火力优秀，是宾兰德合众国制的中型战车，名称是源自于库洛德的故乡。

◆ 哈芬号（ハーフェン号）



宾兰德合众国制造的中型战车。 主要是运用在包含对战车战斗等等的机动作战上。 是 E 小队攻击的主轴，机动力和火力优秀，但防御力不如帝国战车。

「哈芬」之名是库洛德取自己故乡村庄之名来为战车命名。

kirassss

　　战斗一样是采用系列作惯用的「BLiTZ（Battle of Live Tactical Zone systems）」系统。 从游戏图片上应该就可以看出，本作和在 PSP 主机上推出的《战场女武神 2 加利亚王立士官学校》以及《战场女武神 3》不同，是采用没有分割的单张大型地图。



　　在此重新和大家说明游戏基本系统，原则上是以回合制战略仿真游戏作为基础，但单位在行动时富含高度动作性与实时性，是一个非常独特的系统。





没有进入单位视野内的敌军单位不会出现在地图上，只能透过脚步声等要素来侦测

　　玩家要使用在轮到我军回合时会补充的「指令点数（コマンドポイント）（CP）」来移动单位，当 CP 消秏归零后就会切换到敌军回答，要不断重复这个流程来进行战斗。 因为单位行动次数并没有限制，只要 CP 还有剩，就可以不断让同一个单位一直行动。

　　在让单位行动时，是要使用第三人称视点动作游戏的形式来操纵，单位会依照目前兵种而设定行动点数（アクションポイント）（AP），可移动距离就是由这个点数来决定。



　　在移动之后执行鎗击等动作，就会结束单位的这个行动，这时必须要注意的一点是，从单位开始行动到结束为止的期间当中，「时间并没有停止不动」。

　　在单位行动中，虽然敌我双方的其他单位都会停留在原地，但是一但进入敌方单位的视野内，就会遭受攻击。 因为敌人攻击会持续到离开敌人射程范围，或是行动结束为止，所以在操纵单位时，必须要像是游戏动作游戏一样，能够快速反应。

　　而有关于本作的兵种，则是分为侦察兵、突击兵、反战车兵、狙击兵、支持兵和掷弹兵六种。

　　新兵种掷弹兵，是以拥有极长射程的掷弹炮作为武器，能够从远距离发动攻击，并且命中在遮蔽物后方的敌人，在友军发现敌人时还会发动迎击，是此兵种最大特征。 掷弹炮对于反战车兵之外的兵种都能发挥极强悍的威力，但其弱点就是一但被接近，不论是对上哪一兵种几乎都无法对抗。





　　在 PS4 推出的《战场女武神 Remaster》也预定于 2018 年 1 月 18 日以 1990 日圆（未税）的全新价格推出。 PS4 玩家不妨在迎接本作之前，先重新回顾一下第二次欧洲大战作为复习。

《战场女武神4》支援E小队的三女一狗

　　SEGA GAMES 制作的《战场女武神 4》本周 Fami 通清晰杂志图。这次介绍了数名支援着E小队的角色，以及一些游戏系统方面的新情报。

安琪莉卡·法纳比(CV：佐仓绫音)：进军中的E小队发现的平民，除了自己的名字以外失去了记忆，出身履历一切不明。刚开始被军医所保护，恢复朝气后积极负责部队的饮食、洗涤和扫除。性格开朗善解人意，在士兵中非常有人气，被爱称为安洁。

卡莲·斯图尔特(CV：斋藤佑圭)：性格稳重温柔的女性。原本想进入医科大学，但由于家境不好为了支撑家计志愿入队，成为了E小队的卫生兵。因为从小就在男人堆中长大所以擅长应付男人。

拉格纳洛克：E小队的卫生犬，库罗德等人捡来的狗，现在成为了E小队吉祥物般的存在。非常勇敢且自尊心很高，在战场上从不怯懦为了救助负伤者而奔跑，对于弱者不会放弃不管。

米涅瓦·维克多(CV：早见沙织)：和E小队共同战斗的F小队的小队长，注重骑士道精神，面对自己的队员们也非常亲切。但是对于士官学校首席毕业的同期生库罗德却非常严厉。



　　本作的等级系统不是和士兵个人而是和兵种有关，将在训练所获得的经验进行分配之后，兵种达到一定的等级时就能够进化成高级兵种“猎兵”。

　　在战斗中主角可以使用特殊的行动“指令”。指令可以通过升级或是与同伴对话获得，其效果包含增强我方能力或是让敌军增援撤退等等。此外各队员会有充满个性的“潜能”存在，战斗中满足一定条件就可以发动。

　　在限定版附带的追加DLC剧情「与第7小队的共同战线」中E小队还可以和一代主角率领的第7小队一起执行任务。

　　《战场女武神 4》将同步于 2018 年 3 月 21 日在 PlayStation 4、夏季在 Nintendo Switch 上推出繁体中文版。
