"We look at those birds and see how wild and free they are, but they all have their own territories. If anything threatens their home. They'll risk their lives to defend it. People are animals too. We do what we have to, when we have to!" -- Welkin Gunther
Valkyria Chronicles is a Turn-Based Strategy game set in a fantasy world based on World War II. The story follows Squad 7 of the Gallian Army, as they push back against the Empire threatening to invade their land. It's an anime-style war story, with a lot of heart!
I love this game's presentation. The storybook frame around every scene, the water-colors filter on top of 3D models. The way the story is predented if it's a History Book! It's originally a PS3 game, but it has better animations & presentations compared to modern games in 2025. Playing it is a treat for me, and I hope watching my playthrough would be a treat for you too.

The Empire sends its foot soldiers and tanks to take out Bruhl. Welkin runs back to his home to save Isara. A baby is born in the battlefield. Welkin and Isara take out their father's former Tank to fight back the Empire.
What I like about this battle, is that we're clearly on the losing side, and our only hope is to escape with as many people living as possible.
The speech Welkin gives Alicia at the end, (quoted above,) is so powerful... We do what we have to, when we have to. Even if it meant fighting in a War!
