A Very SOLID Entry in the Series - Let's Talk About It: Trails of Cold Steel
467On the surface, it kinda feels like FF Type 0 if it had turn based combat, heh.
Trails of Cold Steel, or Sen no Kiseki, takes place alongside some of Trails from Zero, and most of Trails to Azure. It is the first of four games that form the Erebonia arc of the series. The game can also serve as an alternate entry point into the series, as unlike most of the games it does not heavily rely on you having knowledge of the previous titles, which likely helped to bolster its popularity amongst both long-time fans and newcommers alike.
The PC version was used for this review. Trails of Cold Steel is currently available on PS3, PS Vita, PS4, PC, and Switch (Asia only).
