All in all, Challenge of the Edy Detachment is roughly as great as Behind her Blue Flame, but for different reasons. The strategy required in each mission is a lot of fun and takes you back to how amazing the main game is, and it's a further reminder that the missions in Valkyria Chronicles have a surprising amount of variety. But the presentation is lackluster and the overall playtime makes it slightly shorter than Behind her Blue Flame. I had hoped that the final piece of Valkyria Chronicles DLC would undoubtedly be the best, but I suppose being tied for that honor is just as good. If you're a fan of the game go pick this up and revel in the best PS3 RPG just one more time.

I really can't wait to see a trailer.
Every bit of info makes the game cooler and cooler.
This and Enslaved will be 2010 sleeper hits.
And as you might notice, these new batch of screenshots contain some new enemy types which look really sleek and powerful. I can't wait to tinker with their wires when this game releases!

Joe Juba of GameInformer: "The final bit of downloadable content for Valkyria Chronicles came out yesterday, so I re-enlisted and jumped back onto the battlefield to continue the defense of Gallia. Are the new missions worth picking up? Absolutely."
The latest DLC for Valkyria Chronicles, Challenge of the Edy, is missing the English voice-acting found in the full game and previous add-on content.
It wasn't THAT bad, but I still preferred the Japanese VAs. Some of the English VAs were extremely annoying. The R&D guy comes to mind.
I just purchased the game but haven't opened it yet. Still waiting for a trophy patch. A dumb reason for not playing it yet but there are too many good games to play as it is. Please Sega...
While I also prefer the original japanese audio, I thought the english voice work was a decent effort and at least it allowed you to understand what the characters were saying during gameplay when there are no subtitles. I love it when Marina says "That won't save you." and Aika's "Bang bang baby!".
@ blindfromthesun - If you're waiting on a trophy patch, I'm afraid you'll be waiting indefinitely. After 15 months, 4 sets of DLC and one sequel, I'd say the odds of it ever getting patched are very close to zero. Just play the game! It's one of the hidden gems of this generation and it's damn fun. That's what gaming's all about, fun! Not trophies or achievements.
Play because it's fun....and believe me, this game is awesome!! I didn't even like strategy RPG's or even turn based RPG's untill i played this. Hell, the main reason i got a PSP Go is for Valkyria Chronicles pt2. Also, i didn't think the voice overs were THAT bad, they were actually pretty good. I've definitely heard worse.
@Information Minister- Thanks for talking some sense into me :-p I don't need trophies/achievements but have come to appreciate them. Considering that trophies/achievements are arbitrarily decided its silly to think of them as the end all and only way to "beat" a game. Now I need to practice what I preach...:-p
I prefer Japanese voice over and English subs myself.
Oh Sh!t. That means at least some of the good English voice actors might be changed in the sequel. The imported characters might have different actors too.
the art style of this game.
