Valkyria Chronicles 2 is a tactical RPG developed by Sega CS3, released in 2010 for the PlayStation Portable. A direct sequel to the PS3 original, the game is set two years after its predecessor in a fictionalized 1930s Europe, where a group of Gallian Military Academy cadets becomes entangled in a civil war sparked by a coup from the Gallian Revolutionary Army. The narrative explores themes of friendship, love, and personal growth against a backdrop of conflict. The game runs on a redesigned version of the CANVAS engine, adapted specifically for the PSP, and features over 200 missions across more than 20 environments. Combat uses an updated BLiTZ battle system, with battlefields divided into multiple map areas that open progressively as players capture enemy bases. New unit classes are introduced alongside a class upgrade system. Ad-hoc multiplayer supporting both cooperative and versus play is available for the first time in the series.
From the wikia: "Set two years after the events of Valkyria Chronicles, the story revolves around a civil war within the small Europan nation of Gallia. A rebel group made up of dissatisfied aristocrats and like-minded soldiers and citizens calling themselves the Gallian Revolutionary Army rises up in arms in order to wage an ethnic cleansing campaign against Gallians of Darcsen descent. However, with the intense fight against the Empire having left Gallia's regular army in an exhausted state, there is initially little to stop the insurrection from gaining momentum. Laws preventing the formation of a national militia to fight fellow Gallians force the government to deploy military academy cadets to the front lines in order to combat and defeat the GRA forces."
