This sequel to the acclaimed Valiant Hearts: The Great War (2014) continues the stories of ordinary people caught in the horrors of WWI. Presented as an animated graphic novel-style side-scroller, it features puzzle-solving, exploration, light action (like flying or diving), and stealth elements. Play as four characters:
- James: Brother of Freddie from the first game, fighting with the Harlem Hellfighters.
- George: A clever Allied pilot.
- Ernst: A reluctant German diver.
- Anna: The returning nurse saving lives on the front lines.
The game spans historical events like the Jutland naval battle, Meuse-Argonne offensive, and the armistice, with in-game facts, authentic photos, and a focus on survival, friendship, and humanity amid war. It’s rated T for Teen (Violence, Blood, Alcohol Reference, Use of Tobacco), single-player only, and runs about 4-6 hours.
