About The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel builds on Nihon
Falcom’s Trails franchise, improving on the series’ formula
while delivering a standalone narrative that both series fans
and newcomers alike may enjoy. Taking place on the same
continent as fan-favorite Trails in the Sky, Trails of Cold
Steel further explores Erebonia and gives players a chance to
delve deep into the inner political conflicts of this
oft-mentioned and powerful empire. Players take on the role of
elite military students at a time of great turmoil, who enjoy
school life as they bond with fellow students to earn new
abilities in battle, and then utilize those abilities via
tactical turn-based combat. In between skirmishes, players can
upgrade their party members with the “ARCUS” system – a
streamlined version of the classic “Orbment” magic system from
previous titles – allowing for greater access to abilities and
quicker customization.
