![]() Not only are the stories of Cold Steel 1 and 2 pivotal, but the Trails in the Sky series is referenced regularly, as are the events of two titles based in Crossbell, as yet unreleased in the west (with the exception of fan-translated ports). But for all the wordy exposition, frequent flashbacks, and the lengthy plot summaries available on the title screen, it just isn’t enough. I think Nihon Falcom have half-heartedly tried to engineer Trails of Cold Steel 3 as an entry point of the series, as it reverts to a similar school-based format as the first game. ![]() The possible reason for the lack of any noticeable hype or expectation, is that the target audience for Trails of Cold Steel 3 on Switch appears to be roughly the size of a Covid-lockdown wedding guestlist. However, I find this particular port just a little bizarre. ![]() Sure enough, on June 30th the latest chapter of Rean Schwarzer’s exploits as the Ashen Chevalier has added to the growing collection of excellent RPG titles ported to the console including the likes of The Witcher 3, Skyrim and Dragon Quest XI. It feels like the release of Trails of Cold Steel 3 on the Nintendo Switch has gone a little under the radar.
