Combines strategy elements of tactical role-playing games with real-time action sequences

SEGA has confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles, a tactical role-playing game that combines strategy elements with real-time action sequences, will be released exclusively on PS3 this Autumn.

As you can see from the screenshots below, Valkyria Chronicles will have a unique visual style that has been described as "watercolor painting in motion", made possible by the 'CANVAS' 3D graphics engine.

The setting is said to be a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe - divided in two and ruled by the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, which is situated in the middle of the two great empires. The game follows a hero named Welkin and his fellow soldiers of the Federation’s 7th Platoon as they engage in a series of epic battles.

SEGA say they have something unique to the role playing genre, in the form of 'BLITZ' which gives players freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls.
