Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition

Released2011
Senjou no Valkyria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles, usually referred to as Valkyria Chronicles III, is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation Portable. It is the third game in the Valkyria Chronicles series and was released on January 27, 2011 exclusively in Japan. An expanded version of the game, subtitled Extra Edition was released in Japan on November 23, 2011. The game features an opening song Moshimo Kimi ga Negau no nara sung by Japanese singer May'n. Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935.[3] Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption. As described by its catchphrase, the game tells "The tale of nameless soldiers who, on the verge of despair, changed history." The game was the first in the series to not officially be translated into English by Sega. However, an unofficial fan translation for the Extra Edition was eventually released in December 2013. Included VC3 DLCs: - Kurt Irving's First Mission - No.1 is Restless - Penalty Mission - The Barricaded Harbour - The Secret of Her Powers

About This Game

Squad 422 — "The Nameless" — is a penal military unit whose members have had their real names erased from official records and replaced with numbers. Criminals, foreign deserters, disgraced soldiers. Motto: Altaha Abilia — Always Ready. The Gallian Army sends them on the missions too dangerous or too politically sensitive for regular forces. The three leads are Kurt Irving (No. 7, falsely accused of treason), Imca (Ace No. 1, a Darcsen heavy weapons specialist seeking revenge against the Valkyria who destroyed her home), and Riela Marcellis (No. 13, seemingly cursed, unknowingly a Valkyria herself). Their enemy is Calamity Raven, a Darcsen Imperial unit whose leader Dahau offers Darcsen independence as his cause. When Gusurg defects to Calamity Raven, the Nameless finds itself hounded from both sides — including from within Gallian Army Command, which would find it convenient if the 422nd simply disappeared. Only getting their commanding officer Ramsey Crowe to the capital with evidence can clear them.
