Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

78/100

Trails of Cold Steel: Northern War is a solid mobile entry for fans of the Legend of Heroes franchise. It successfully bridges the gap between Cold Steel II and III, giving us a fresh perspective through Lavi and the Northern Jaegers. The 3D models and Japanese voice acting are top-tier, making it feel like a high-budget extension of the Zemuria continent.

The gameplay transitions to a more mobile-friendly RPG format, but it retains the classic Orbment and Master Quartz systems that veterans love. While the 'free exploration' isn't as expansive as a console title, the inclusion of iconic characters like Rean and Lloyd as collectable units is a huge draw. It's a lore-heavy RPG that serves as a great companion piece to the anime and the main series games.
