▍About The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie
Taking place less than half a year after Trails of Cold Steel IV, the Crossbell SSS led by Lloyd Bannings has successfully ousted the imperial forces from Crossbell. Just as everyone was beginning to celebrate the re-independence ceremony, it’s interrupted by Rufus Albaraea, the former governor of crossbill who overpowers the SSS causing them to retreat once again, plunging the country into turmoil.
Now Lloyd, Rean Schwarzer, and a mysterious figure masked liberation leader called “C” fight again to save Crossbell from the hands of tyranny, to finally bring peace once and for all.
Trails into Reverie is a turn-based RPG with a battle being conducted in a 3D environment. During combat, you can move your characters across the field, or perform various attacks and actions using the face buttons. Characters can equip different weapons that will affect their attack ratings and type, such as slash, pierce, blunt, and shot, making them more effective against certain enemy types.
The game also has a link system where if you manage to exploit the enemy’s weakness, you can call upon another character to instantly do a link attack, dealing even more damage to an enemy.
