The somewhat less-good news?Valkyria Duelis a free-to-play, browser-based, card-battling strategy game. It’ll have base-building elements, territory control, 3D battle scenes (alaAdvance Wars), and, of course, a ton of cards based on characters and equipment from its obsessively detailed fake-World-War-II-era setting.

Now now, before you cluck your tongues and palm your faces and lament the fall of the once-mighty, note that it’s not out yet, and it could be great! Who knows?! It’s not as if “free-to-play”, “browser-based”, “card-battling” are some kind ofdeath sentence. And yes, chances are it’s not what youwantedout of theValkyria Chroniclesfranchise, but hey, at least it won’t be hard to give it a chance should it ever leave Japan, right?
