It's a sequel for The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak game released in 2021 (that's the Japanese premiere, it was released in the West with a delay). The development of this game was overseen by Nihon Falcom Corp., who is responsible for the series development.
Plot
The action of The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II is set a year after the events depicted in the previous installment. After dealing with the threat from the Almata mafia organization the residents of the Calvard Republic could breathe a sigh of relief, but the peace did not last long. The country was shaken by a macabre series of murders committed by a mysterious scarlet beast, as a result of which the entire special CID unit was killed.
Wanting to solve this case, Van Arkride, one of the mercenaries called spriggans, and the main character of the sub-series Trails through Daybreak, must take action and begin his own investigation. How the fate of the protagonist and his allies unfolds largely depends on our actions and the choices we make.
Gameplay
In The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The sequel is based on the pillars built by its predecessor, so during the game we travel through locations and perform various quests, as well as talk to characters and form a team. Along the way we meet both well-known faces and completely new people.
From time to time, the game forces us to make decisions that affect the further course of the story. The key moments are when the paths of Van Arkride and his companions branch - we have to choose the direction that individual characters will take.
Fighting opponents also plays an important role here. The creators once again allow us to switch between fast real-time battles and tactical skirmishes played in turn-based mode. Additionally, for the needs of each of these solutions, the authors have prepared new mechanics:
- Cross Charge, present in real-time mode, involves one of our allies charging at the enemy attacking us. We gain access to it when we perform a perfect dodge and press the appropriate button when its icon is visible on the screen.
- EX Chains is designed for turn battles and it allows individual team members to launch combined attacks. We gain access to them after meeting certain conditions on the battlefield.
