What If? – Valkyria Chronicles Was on iPad // The Axis of Bozz

Valkyria Chronicles on iPad A few years ago, I proposed a thought experiment: What would Valkyria Chronicles be like if it had been released for iOS devices? Back then, the idea was met with mixed reactions. Some fans felt that the game wouldn’t suit the touchscreen interface of the iPad, while others thought an iOS, Android, or even PC version might be an interesting way to bring the game to a wider audience.

At the time, this seemed like an ambitious and distant dream. But now, in 2025, that dream has been realized in a sense. Both Valkyria Chronicles 1 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 are available on the Nintendo Switch and on Steam - which by extension, makes both games playable on the Steam Deck. This is a huge win for fans who once wished for a portable, version of the series that would allow them to take the game on the go.
