XSEED Games has released on Steam The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky; a classic 2D turn-based JRPG. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is the first chapter in the ongoing Trails saga that sets the stage for what’s quickly become Ys developer Nihon Falcom’s most popular and best-selling franchise in their entire 30+ year history.
Here are the key features of the game’s Steam version:
*The original version of the first chapter in this historical series, featuring strategic turn-based combat with unmatched customization.
*Over 50 hours of gameplay on average, with countless side-quests, collectibles and secrets to encourage replay.
*A vast world where every NPC has a name and personality, every town has its own unique politics and economic concerns, and no detail is ever trivial.
*Support for a wide variety of fullscreen and widescreen resolutions, including true 1080p HD.
*Fully adjustable controls supporting virtually any USB gamepad, as well as a standard keyboard and mouse setup.
*Over two dozen unique Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud support and Steam Trading Cards featuring gorgeous anime-style art from the franchise’s original artists.
*Numerous updates previously seen only in the handheld version, including:
– Selectable difficulty level and new game+ features on subsequent playthroughs
– Full voice-acting during combat
– “Retry Offset” feature to lower the difficulty of battle with each attempt if desired

I’ve been a Nihon Falcom fan since….. forever. I have almost all of their releases from the PC-Engine to the PS3. Hope to see more Falcom games released outside of Japan in the future.
Trails in the Sky is surprisingly good: no cliché story or teenager melodrama so far. Just bear in mind that there are some issues with the PC release at the moment (crashes). I’d wait a week before buying the game.
Looks so cute!!
I have had it on my psp, and it’s a really good game, if you are into jrpgs
The issues were fixed and the game is just getting better than better. I really recommend it!
