The Legend of Heroes: Kuro No Kiseki Reveals Gameplay Footage & Character Profiles

Nihon Falcom just released a ton of information regarding The Legend of Heroes: Kuro No Kiseki. They launched the official site for the game ahead of their upcoming 40th Anniversary stream scheduled for today. Now, we can confirm the names of our four main protagonists and their general overviews. But let’s dive into the new combat system.

Battle System

As they mentioned in previous interviews, Kuro No Kiseki will employ a new action based combat system. But, if you’re not into action based combat, you can switch to command based combat on the fly. Now, the battles are seamless with no transition between battles and exploration.

In this game, the command type AT (action time) battle used in the conventional “Trails series” has been renewed!

You can enjoy more speedy and strategic battles by adopting a unique new system that seamlessly transitions from action battles on the field to command type battles. The transition from action battle to command battle can be freely transitioned at any time with a single button.

It is possible to select the battle system according to the player’s preference, such as action battles that emphasize exhilaration for small fish enemies, and strategic battles that are mainly command battles for stronger enemies. In addition, by shifting to command battle immediately when you meet an enemy, you can enjoy the gameplay as if it were the AT battle used in the conventional “Trails Series”.
