Overall, it's a solid JRPG that I highly recommend to those who are a JRPG fan to play. The game has a really immersive story but there are some cringy moments as well. The looks of the game on PS4 is pretty much HD-fied, giving better looks on ambiance a...

No changes from the original, Main character lacking in interesting qualities
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel has made its way to PC, but has made no changes to differentiate itself. This game overall is one that has definitely aged well and has grown on me as time goes by, and is a quality JRPG that any fan of the genre...

Outdated looks, Dungeon crawler game flow may put off some, Not a good starting point for newcomers

Abstract: Playing Trails of Cold Steel is like eating a hero sandwich that's way too heavy on the bread. Often you'll get nice big chunks of turkey and salami. But sometimes—more often than you'd like—you'll realize that all you can taste is fluffy white filler.Col...

Simple, fun gameplay, Fluid, challenging battle system, Nice overall design, Diverse gameplay elements
Bland characters, story, Poor writing, dialogue
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is a nice example of how a turn-based, old school RPG should be done mechanically in these times. Sadly, like so many others, the game is lost in a rather bland smattering of characters and story. If those elemen...
Abstract: We can't properly send off 2015 without squeezing in one more RPG, now can we? Not only that, it's the second entry of The Legend of Heroes franchise to see localization this year. Between this, Yakuza 5, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, December sure has been...

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is a great game that should please most, if not all, JRPG fans. With a system that makes you actually think about your moves in battle (at least on the higher difficulties), good voice work, a good soundtrack,and...

Abstract: You could be forgiven for not having heard of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, and for not giving it a second glance in the store. “The Legend of Heroes” isn't exactly a title that commands attention, and the name Falcom sure doesn't carry the...
