I got Cyberstorm 1 as a present and had no idea Cyberstorm 2 was a thing until I found it on sale second hand at a library having a fundraising drive... and so of course I pestered the heck out of my gran to get it for me.
It was exactly what a good sequel should be. More of most everything (except perhaps a little of the hidden humour) that made the first game fun. More hercs, more 'derms, more mission types, more planets, actual research, and even entirely new classes of unit for your synthetic pilots to panic in. And of course equipment granularity I've rarely seen surpassed in even full on RPGs decades later.
As a kid this game was my introduction into the concept of a dystopian future where corporations run everything. Run everything and battle for dominance with massive clone piloted mechs. Working your way up the corporate ladder by means of explosions was hilarious to me, and largely still is.
There are tons of weapon and system options for your Hercs (Mechs) and Bioderms (clones) that can completely change the way that you utilize them in the field. From creating a zippy Meteor hovertank for scouting to dropping a team of Apocalypse super heavy walkers that are effectively each a walking fortress, you have choices. Lay a minefield in a valley with a Mantis, lure the enemy through with a Meteor, and rain destruction on them with a cloaked Apocalypse. Or run a full team of cloaked scouts and snatch the target before the enemy even knows you're there.
Tactical thinking is rewarded on the battlefield and strategic during base management. Do well enough in both and be rewarded in the boardroom.

Valkyria Chronicles 2Valkyria Chronicles 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3, which was released exclusively on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. The game takes place two years after the conclusion of the original game and takes you back to the epic adventure set in 1930’s fictitious Europe. In this sequel, you play as a group of young Gallian Military Academy cadets who find themselves plunged into a bitter civil war when the newly formed Gallian Revolutionary Army stages a coup. As the drama and battle unfold, you will experience stories of friendship, love and growing pains during a time of war and revolution.
The 'CANVAS' engine originally developed by SEGA Game Studios Japan for Valkyria Chronicles has been fully redesigned for the PSP system. This incredibly distinctive engine will power over 20 new distinct and visually stunning environments where you will have over 200 different missions to explore. For the first time ad-hoc Versus and Co-op multiplayer gameplay will now be available. The 'BLiTZ' battle system has also been re-designed to offer players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls, something never before seen in the tactical role-playing game genre.
This game adds some new unit classes and the ability to upgrade or change classes. It also changes the battle system to include multiple map areas that are unlocked as you take over enemy bases revealing more of the battlefield and allowing you to call units into that area.Action Fantasy Historical Warfare
