Valkyrie of the Battlefield

[aether_orange]

An "interactive strategy" game from Sega. Not really sure how gameplay works, but uses a lot of cel shading techniques like Dark Cloud and Trusty Bell. Supposedly has a lot of tactical strategy elements which are fused with realtime gameplay. An interesting game to say the least.

The whole cell shaded style and WWII theme are almost reminiscent of Miyazaki films, yet it is set in an alternate world in the year 1935, similar to that of Full Metal Alchemist. It is however, PS3 exclusive, may be a drawback for many.

Obvious Nazi influence here, notice however his rifle uses an AK-syle swinging stock




Good job on the steampunk here:





This is awesome, in a KOS-MOS kinda way:







They even managed to get the characters to do a semi-acceptable salute!




Very good detail on lighting:




Gamefaqs has this game listed for a Q3 US release, but they've been known to give false info from time to time, either way I can't wait for this game to get released!

GameFAQs gets release dates from user submissions. Thus the source is the users of the site, not any official source unless the user was quiting one, which isn't required.
