Everything is basically blanketed with snow, which the game uses to its advantage in putting together different missions that will test the patience and abilities of players.
In some "Valkyria Chronicles 4" stages, players will have to locate enemy tanks in a snow-covered field where wooden decoys are also purposely buried for distraction. They will also be tasked to minimize fallout and damage from bombs dropping out of the sky.
Apart from occasional avalanches, the cold will also mean that characters will not be able to enjoy as much save opportunities before permadeath they otherwise would on a sunny day. Blizzards also pose a threat to the level of a character's Ability Power.
More details on the setting, gameplay mechanics, and characters in "Valkyria Chronicles 4" can be read on the official website in addition to screenshots and promotional image such as the one above.
