'Valkyria Chronicles 4' Gameplay News: More Characters, Unique Gameplay Mechanics Revealed
More characters and gameplay details for "Valkyria Chronicles 4" have been revealed care of the latest issue of the Weekly Famitsu magazine.
A slew of the characters that fans will follow in the game were introduced a few days ago, but it turns out there are more new faces to meet in the highly anticipated game.
For a start, "Valkyria Chronicles 4" will introduce the "cheerful, selfless, and kind" civilian girl named Angelica Farnaby who lost her memories. One day, she suddenly becomes popular among the soldiers and it may have something to do with her bold move of confronting the powerful Witch of the Snowstorm.
The game will also feature the gentle medic Karen Stewart, who is "skilled in the treatment of men" having been brought up in an all-male household. Fans will likely see her with Ragnarok the medical dog.
