Customer Ratings & Reviews

Plays smooth, good battle system as well as a reason to keep playing with how the game rewards your progress. Good options for difficulty, either which changing difficulty or tweaking it slightly for a tough encounter.

The Legend of Heroes RPG series is one of the greatest in video game history. This is the game that started the Cold Steel, Zero/Azure, Daybreak etc arcs. Everything about this game was beyond excellent! The Story, Voice Acting, Music, Battle System, Graphics was all 9.5 / 10

One of the best RPGs to come out this year and tasteful remake of the original. Graphics are beautiful and the modernization of the combat system implementing additions from the newer games helps bring this game to a new level. The characters and writing help to make this an enjoyable experience that will start your journey for a narrative spanning multiple games and stories. If you are looking to get into a long-running series or just an RPG to satisfy your needs, this is where you should begin.

Never played this originaly but definitely a most play. Fantastic story and battle system that never gets boring

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on Nintendo Switch is an easy 5-star experience for fans, offering a rich story, lovable characters, and deep world-building that still holds up today. Compared to the original release, this version feels more convenient thanks to the Switch’s portability, making long story sessions much easier to enjoy. It also feels smoother and more comfortable to play overall, which helps modernize a classic without changing what made it special. The slow-burn narrative is rewarding, and the dialogue and character development are far deeper than most RPGs. Combat is strategic but approachable, making it great for both newcomers and longtime fans of the series. If you enjoy story-driven RPGs, this is absolutely worth buying and a fantastic way to experience the beginning of the Trails saga.

First game in the very long trails series which will officially wrapping up in 2031. Absolutely one of the greatest remakes/JRPGs I’ve ever played. The game looks fantastic, plays fantastic, the characters are fleshed out and their interactions are some of the best parts of the entire franchise. Not only that, most characters are recurring throughout the entire series (even if your main protagonists change the old ones pop in and out of the story assisting the new ones. Each game in the series can get you upwards of 80+ hours of content without even counting replayability and harder difficulties. If you like JRPGs the franchise should be considered a must buy and this is the best version of its humble beginnings.

A remake of Nihon Falcom's Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, 1st Chapter covers Part 1 in a 3 Part Saga. The game has been overhauled with modern graphics. For Switch 2 owners, a free Upgrade Pack can be downloaded for enhanced visual fidelity and performance.

It amazes me how i don't ever remember hearing about this series of games. This is such a refreshing game as the story and the gameplay are really good. Luckily i was watch happy console gamer and he was talking about what a great game this is. I highly recommend this game and chapter 2 to be relased this fall.

I've played the original game on the PSP and this remake just makes replaying this game so much more fun since they upgraded the graphics, added the skip the random battle functions which made everything more overall fun.

This game on Switch runs very well. The game is an excellent remake which combines the combat mechanic of newer games in the series with the story of the first game. Some liberties are taken though.

This is how modern remasters should be done. If you're interested finally diving into this series, it's a great way/place to start. I feel like this remaster spoiled me... It's really shows how half baked many of these other "remasters" actually arebfor what they are charging. Regardless, this is some great JRPG action, so what are you waiting for. Just pick it up now, in case it sells out and jumps up in price! I slept on a few other physical remasters, the NA releases sold out quick, and I had to spend extra to import them from other regions

Fun and relaxing RPG that will suck you into its world and put you in a good mood. Also if you have a Switch 2 the upgrade pack is only $1 and worth the boost in performance and visuals.

This game is a lot of fun. The battle system has a large focus on positioning and the magic system is like a more complicated (in a good way) materia system.

A remake of an amazing game. The added action combat for makes going through area's with easier mobs faster, and less time consuming. Plus still having the more modernized turn based from more current games makes the transition from the newer tutles to this classic almost seemless.

Totally fun and got to play it on my switch 2. I don’t regret getting game

What an amazing remake for a classic jrpg. Extremely satisfying gameplay and great character voiceovers.

If you enjoy real time turn based RPGs with a splash of anime, this is for you! If you're unsure, you can always download the demo on the eshop to see if you like it or not. Your save will transfer over if you decide to get the full game.

Good game and arrived in good condition. This quality in delivery is why I favor Best Buy over after companies selling video games.

It's a perfect remake! The pacing of the store and the battles are fun and engaging. A great jrpg series to start off with

As my first Trails game, I was surprised by how traditional, yet cozy this game feels. It brings me back to some older styled RPGs in terms of tone, but the gameplay and character writing is excellent.
