The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel
SCORE: 54
I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel on the Playstation 3 in the physical copy format. That is the good news. The bad news is the PR and Marketing for this game failed us miserably. Maybe they don’t want you to know the installation of this game is insanely long. Or some of the other issues in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel.
It takes a few hours to get into The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel. It starts really boring, and what we do in this role playing video game is very repetitive. Some kind of test, free day, and then we go on a field study. Rinse and repeat in the chapters.
If you can get into this game, then you will find a typical Japanese story with typical stereotyped characters. It is sad to me that The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel attacks Christians and Biblical marriage. There is also enticement to lust, sexual deviancy, magic, violence, alcohol, tobacco, bad language, suicide, adultery, incest, false gods, false goddesses, perverts, and more.
The turn based battles involve two characters linking. Players can have up to four in the battle screen at once. Others can be called in at any time during the fight. There are link attacks, S-breaks, and S-crafts in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel. Players can also fish, cook, and play a little card game. I liked traveling by horse in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel in a few areas.
Magic is used via quartz. We collect sepith from enemies and treasure chests. That can be used to unlock slots. Then magic can be assigned to those slots as long as they are of the same type. It sounds deep and confusing. It is actually pretty simple. Bonding events are limited to how many bonding points you happen to have. I focused on just certain characters to grow the linking between them.
The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel feels like an exploration of a fantasy world. I wish the Judeo-Christian belief set would have been encouraged in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel instead of attacked and discouraged. Pass on The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel.
