The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV
SCORE: 65
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV on the
Playstation 4 (PS4). I am very thankful for that. The Legend of Heroes
Trails of Cold Steel IV can be found on the PC and Nintendo Switch. I am
a bit surprised The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV is not on
the Xbox One. There are phsyical copy versions of The Legend of Heroes
Trails of Cold Steel IV available on the Nintendo Switch and PS4.
Members of the physical copy movement are provided for by NIS America.
The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV is just under forty gigs in
terms of memory size on the PS4. Expect a very long game with that kind
of memory size. The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV boasts a
huge cast. Rean Schwarzer has been captured and it is up to the cast of
the previous games including the original Class VII members to save Rean
Schwarzer from his father. Can you do it in The Legend of Heroes Trails
of Cold Steel IV?
The issues families can have with The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold
Steel IV are violence, blood, magic, lack of attire, enticement to lust,
sexual comments, sexual deviancy, bad language, false gods, alcohol,
tobacco, gambling, curses, resurrection, and more. The cut scenes in The
Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV are long. This gets even worse
with so many characters and so much story to be told. There is a recap
mode if you forgot the previous games or did not play them.
The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV has a cool feature to bring
across your progress from the previous games. I was unable to get it
working. The fast forward mode in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold
Steel IV is helpful in speeding the fight sections of this game along.
Speaking of those fighting sections we have a lot of options available
to us. Lost Arts return and add even more options to the S-Craft
Techniques. Order, Break, Orbs, and Links all return in The Legend of
Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV.
Expect videos of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV to appear
on our video sites closely after this review is published. The vast
array of characters can be mind boggling to keep track of. Some of them
I remember and others I did not. These characters have quite the history
and reference it along with a plethora of titles. If you lose a battle
The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV will offer you the option
of redoing the battle at an easier difficulty. Even if you are on the
easiest difficulty setting.
The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV contains a ton of content.
There are definitely aspects of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold
Steel IV that will offend many American families. I wish a lot of that
content has been left out since it was really not needed. I also wish
there was some way to keep all of these characters and all of the plot
lines a little clearer in my head. At the same time the cut scenes are a
bit on the long side. I am not sure how to balance all of that. Multiple
game endings will entice hardcore gamers to replay The Legend of Heroes
Trails of Cold Steel IV.
