Valkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game set in Europa, a fictional version of Europe, in the year 1935. At that time, the Imperial Alliance invades the Atlantic Federation of the west. Their war will soon encompass all of Europa, including the peaceful nation of Gallia. While small in size, Gallia is known for their rich deposits of ragnite ore, a powerful source of fuel and medicine. When the Galian town of Bruhl is invaded by Imperial Forces, Welkin Gunther, his sister Isara, and friend Alicia Melchiott, take up the fight against their foreign conquerors, joining the Gallian Militia, in this WWII-style game.

The player commands his forces through an overhead map, selecting units, and controlling them in a real-time 3rd person view. Taking on the enemy is done with a variety of units classes, including the Shocktrooper (basic soldier), Scout (excellent movement & sight), Lancer (anti-tank), Engineer (repair, resupply, mine defusal, and more), and the deadly Sniper.

This PS3-exclusive title features an art style best described as anime in watercolor.

Valkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game (RPG) in which players control infantry and armored units in warfare against an invading enemy force. Battles are depicted mostly from a third-person perspective as players perform various actions such as firing weapons (guns, grenades, cannons, flamethrowers, etc.), using healing items, claiming flag points, and moving tanks along city streets. Several interspersed cutscenes depict characters being shot and killed and sometimes include small splashes of pixilated red blood. One sequence involves female characters wearing and discussing 'racy' bathing suits, while the camera pans and lingers on certain body parts. Another cutscene features a characters smoking a cigarette. Mild expletives (e.g., "damn" and "hell") can be heard throughout the dialogue.
