The demo for Valkyria Chronicles 4, one of our most-anticipated games of the year, is out on Japanese PSN! We check out a story mission, as well as the demo-exclusive extra mission, and show you what’s going on in this new installment of the strategy franchise. Watch, if you’d be so kind?

The demo contains the first two chapters of the game and allows players to transfer progress to the full game, though if you’re planning on doing this, know that you can’t always count on save files working across regions. We’ll probably get a demo eventually in the West! For now, it’s this.

Topics include: New types of objectives, the very useful grenadiers, a diverse and detailed cast of characters, the potential of Potentials, uncanny resemblances.
