| 2024-09-06 |  | | You guys really meshed out how to make one of the most boring idle games that isn't even an idle game. Also, why do you have to spend currency on literally everything, including to increase your roster size? Do you really not want people to play your game that badly? It's so annoying to have to clean out your inventory every 30 seconds. I know the original trilogy has little to nothing to do with the Cold Steel series, but ya'll could learn from The Legend of Heroes' app. |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | As a long time follower of the series, I really wanted to like this game. Unfortunately, it is a soulless autobattler with the Legend of Heroes spirit sucked out and replaced with the embodiment of Greed itself. The translation in this game is so bad, it made me appreciate the excruciating wait time to translate the actual, good Trails games. If you're looking for that Trails video game fix, then go back and play the real ones again. Just don't waste your time or money on this or watch the anime |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | Some internal testing needed to be done on this game before it was launched. There is a plethora of bugs that need to be ironed out. Too long to list here, too long to list in the in-game customer support. The game progression is extremely dependent on the GATCHA system. It rewards you with a lot of currency to pull characters early game but mid-game you do not get as many rewards and will halt progression of the game. If you don't spend money you won't advance in story as quickly as you'd like. |
| 2024-06-28 |  | | Huge fan of the cold steel series. A few changes need to happen like getting rid of the common characters you can get so many but the do nothing. I have like 30 mishy and no way to exchange them into something or even awaken them to clear up space. Which is probably the reason behind doing nothing so you have to spend for more character spaces. Almost no way to gather tickets for timed summonings besides buying packs with them in it. I completely understand going for money but calm it down a bit |
| 2024-06-28 |  | | Love the series and the characters, the game is okay, but a bit one note with a heavy emphasis on expensive microtransactions. Many of the translation errors have been addressed. Several events so far, which is nice, and the game regularly adds characters. The game may benefit from more explanations on items, as there are several that I have no idea how to use. Costumes look nice, but are very expensive. A few characters probably need buffs. |
| 2024-06-10 |  | | This is an embarrassing game that is a far cry from the mainline Trails entries. A painfully generic auto-battler with awful localization that often spells character names incorrectly, implying it's likely machine translated. The plot is also basically just an adaptation of the anime of the same name, so you're better off just watching that instead. The Live2D character art is nice, but that's about the only good thing I can say about it. |
| 2024-06-04 |  | | Editx36: Not going to just let my review keep being deleted(x36) when the problem isn't fixed yet. Still Unable to clear tutorial as it teaches how to reposition your troops. When you slide character to designated position, nothing happens, it just snaps back. Since tutorial locks out any other controls it is impossible to advance past this point. Less important since it is still early, conversation translations seem rushed, or AI translated. |
| 2024-06-02 |  | | Asking for a review very early, bad look. A little "switch and bait" tactics employed. Translation not finished to English yet. Settings don't stick sometimes even after "save". Turned off sound 4 times. Monetization is average to slightly pushy. Gameplay is good. Less control than E7 or SW. Graphics are SUPER crisp on S24 Ultra. Great job. Translation is confusing forcing trial and error mechanics to be used. Will update |
| 2024-06-01 |  | | Translation is horrendous. Gameplay is half decent but monotonous. It's a good nostalgia trip for Trails fans. If they work on the translation and patch that in it would get more stars. The UI is extremely clunky. Feels like a UI from 4 or 5 years ago. Also, monetized very poorly, very much a cash grab. I'm surprised Falcom approved this game. I had to edit this after uninstalling because it just kept getting worse. Literally the only good thing it has going for it is the graphics. |
| 2024-06-01 |  | | I like the game but somethings about it already bugging me or erking me. The game keeps crashing randomly... Need to fix that. 2nd thing is, lack of progressing. I have to wait to get xp and other mats just to upgrade the hero unit and you cap us at a specific story part progression. That's not cool. Should not be forcing us to buy any sort of level up progress. But instead I have to wait a couple of days or so just to prog chapter 6 area. Please do better, especially more pulls on the banner. |
