The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV 

 

Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download code for The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV on the Playstation 4 (PS4). I am very thankful for that. The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV can be found on the PC and Nintendo Switch. I am a bit surprised The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV is not on the Xbox One. There are phsyical copy versions of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV available on the Nintendo Switch and PS4. Members of the physical copy movement are provided for by NIS America.

The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV is just under forty gigs in terms of memory size on the PS4. Expect a very long game with that kind of memory size. The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV boasts a huge cast. Rean Schwarzer has been captured and it is up to the cast of the previous games including the original Class VII members to save Rean Schwarzer from his father. Can you do it in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV?

The issues families can have with The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV are violence, blood, magic, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sexual comments, sexual deviancy, bad language, false gods, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, curses, resurrection, and more. The cut scenes in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV are long. This gets even worse with so many characters and so much story to be told. There is a recap mode if you forgot the previous games or did not play them.

The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV has a cool feature to bring across your progress from the previous games. I was unable to get it working. The fast forward mode in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV is helpful in speeding the fight sections of this game along. Speaking of those fighting sections we have a lot of options available to us. Lost Arts return and add even more options to the S-Craft Techniques. Order, Break, Orbs, and Links all return in The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV.

Expect videos of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV to appear on our video sites closely after this review is published. The vast array of characters can be mind boggling to keep track of. Some of them I remember and others I did not. These characters have quite the history and reference it along with a plethora of titles. If you lose a battle The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV will offer you the option of redoing the battle at an easier difficulty. Even if you are on the easiest difficulty setting.

The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV contains a ton of content. There are definitely aspects of The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV that will offend many American families. I wish a lot of that content has been left out since it was really not needed. I also wish there was some way to keep all of these characters and all of the plot lines a little clearer in my head. At the same time the cut scenes are a bit on the long side. I am not sure how to balance all of that. Multiple game endings will entice hardcore gamers to replay The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV.
