The Legend of Heroes have been around for decades but only in the 2000 onward it has gain the acclaimed it deserved. The execellent Trails of the Sky Series was a great example of that. Trails of Cold Steel 2 is the sequel to Trails of Cold Steel which it self is a “spin-off” of Trails of the Sky. Trails of the Cold Steel is good and I liked it but I dnt love it. Cold Steel 2 feels pretty much the same but with a new magic gimmick that kinda flimsy at best. The other combat content added was better. What carried the game for me was it's characters. The character never felt too out there or too grandiose but thats the appeal to it. They are kids born/put in a not so great scenario and the bonds they create with each other really drive home the game. Overall if your looking to get into the cold steel series start at trails of the sky and work your way through everything until you reach cold steel since the stories are very closely related and are chronologically not far apart. But had you heed my warnings or just finished Cold Steel 1 know I do not personally love this game but is charmed by its characters and story.
