Valiant Hearts The Great War is a puzzle-based adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft. The game is inspired by letters written during the First World War as well as from other historical materials. Although the game’s story is fictitious, the game is based on real-life historical events and locations such as the Battle of the Marne, or the Battle of the Somme. You will play the role of four characters in the game: Emile – a Frenchman, Karl – Emile’s German son-in-law, Freddie – an American soldier, and Anna – a Belgian nurse. The story is set in the year 1914 during the time when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated and Germany declares war on Russia. As France begins to deport all German citizens, Karl finds himself separated from his wife, Marie, and their son, Victor. He gets drafted into the German army, while Emile gets drafted into the French Army. Valiant Hearts The Great War is comprised of four chapters which are separated into several sections. Each section requires you to clear an objective for you to move on to the rest of the story. Most of these objectives require you to solve puzzles. With its touching storyline and stunning comic book graphics, the game will surely not only tug on your heartstrings, but also give you a glimpse of how different people can survive a war.
