However, if I had to pick just one thing, it would be its world-building. Despite its incredibly lore-heavy premise, something which I actually tend to shy away from most of the time, Trails of Cold Steel manages to keep its narrative both highly engaging and in a constant state of movement (there’s seriously never a dull moment). There are a lot of things that stand out to me about Trails of Cold Steel‘s story. will soon find themselves entangled within a plot that will decide the fate of Thors, the country of Erebonia, and perhaps even the entire world - whether they like it or not. It won’t just be exams and fieldwork that Class VII will have to deal with, though. He, along with six others, has been selected to be a part of Class VII - a very new, very special, and very rigorous class for the creme de la creme of Thors. Unbeknownst to Rean, however, is the fact that, despite having just enrolled, his academic career is one which will be very different from the rest of his classmates.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel stars none other than the young and soon-to-be-illustrious Rean Schwarzer as he enters his first year at the highly prestigious Thors Military Academy. Describing the game is kind of part of my job, though, so I’ll be giving you a quick overview regardless. If I’m being honest, I feel as though this game has hit the point where it doesn’t really need an introduction anymore. Man, this sure is an intense team-building exercise…
