Valkyria Chronicles
Valkyria Chronicles is a 2008 PlayStation 3 video game developed by Global Entertainment R&D Department 2 and released by Sega of America in the USA on November 4, 2008. In Valkyria Chronicles, the player uses a unique turn-based battle system called BLITZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones). During their turn the player views an overhead map in Command Mode, but zooms in to control each individual unit on the battlefield in Action Mode. Much like the Growlanser series, movement and other actions are handled in real time during Action Mode, though limited in movement by an AP gauge that varies for each type of character. During Target Mode, the player is in direct control of characters' aim while the action freezes, allowing for head shots and other maneuvers. Taking command of individual units during the player's phase costs Command Points, which can be used dynamically to grant movement to many different units or the same unit consecutively with diminishing AP, depending on what the player wants to accomplish.
