The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero Quick Time Review

Developer: Nihon Falcom, PH3 GmbH

Publisher: NIS America

Release Date: September 27, 2022

Played on: Nintendo Switch

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is the latest RPG in the series from developer Nihon Falcom and publisher NIS America.

PROS

  • Decent battle system
  • Plenty to explore
  • Colorful and detailed graphics

CONS

  • Run of the mill characters
  • Familiar storyline
  • Nothing new in terms of gameplay

This is a hard game for me to recommend or score, as it felt so ordinary and “been there, done that” to me, but not in a good way. Fans of the series and this type of tactical RPG will no doubt find more enjoyment in this than I did. It may not truly be a bad game, but it was definitely wrong for me at this time. The game runs smoothly on the Switch, the visuals are nice in both detail and color, and the controls work just fine. If you’re a fan of the series and this genre, it’s probably a reasonable purchase. If you’re not already a fan, this won’t convert you.

6/10 stars
