- No cabe duda de que Trails through Daybreak es, con diferencia, la entrega que supone un nuevo paradigma dentro de la serie, ofreciendo una notable mejora en cuestiones técnicas e iniciando un nuevo arco argumental con un elenco de personajes que sin duda esta a la par con lo visto dentro de la serie. Las mejoras en el sistema de combate y sus opciones, que permiten una mayor versatilidad y agilizan los enfrentamientos, junto al contenido y, como no, una banda sonora destacble, complementan un juego notable. Sin duda un imprescindible para los fans de la saga y del género JRPG.
Aaron Rodriguez · Sep 08, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is one of the best JRPGs we have played in recent years. Even though the visuals may look a bit dated here and there and the voice acting should have been fleshed out slightly better, you’ll still be treated to an amazing experience. The story is captivating, the combat mechanics are solid, it’s fun to explore the world, and above all, the characters are extremely likable. If you’re a fan of prior entries, you’ll certainly see an improvement and some modernization in all aspects. We can easily recommend this one for longtime fans but also for newcomers to the series.
Ibuki · Aug 28, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Despite completion anxiety and combat that was just a little bit lacking, I still had a great time with Trails through Daybreak — it offers an interesting world coupled with plenty of likeable characters, ultimately delivering an enjoyable journey filled with plenty of good times.
Darren Forman · Aug 08, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - All in all, The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is a strong introduction to the world of Zemuria. And it may have the best pacing of any game in the series. If you’ve ever been curious about the Trails series, love the Trails series, or just want a new RPG, check this title out.
Nicola Kapron · Aug 02, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak is a strong entry in the series, with a mature protagonist, a great cast, and decent gameplay. While the new Field Battle system feels underdeveloped and the pacing feels slow towards the end, the game's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. The Calvard Republic is an enjoyable place to explore, and the story leaves you eager for more.
Tom Henry · Jul 24, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak isn't just a great JRPG, but it's also a great jumping in point for anyone wanting to dive into Trails for the first time. Despite some initial complexities and some uneven pacing, Trails Through Daybreak is engrossing from start to finish, and has me keen to see what else this storied franchise has to offer.
Harry Kalogirou · Jul 14, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - With Trails Through Daybreak, The Legend of Heroes name is the best it’s ever been. With an incredible and sweeping story that pays off by the end, a vibrant cast of characters that will steal your heart, some of the best of turn-based combat, and streamlined mechanics, this is quite simply just a damn good and comfortable RPG well worth your time. It may ask a lot of you with its long runtime, breadth of content, and layered lore to wrap your head around but stick with it and you’re in for one of the best from the genre this year. Job well done.
Charlie Kelly · Jul 12, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
Conrad Huang · Jul 11, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - In terms of story and characters, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak is probably the strongest entry the franchise has had in a long while. It fixes a lot of long-running issues and manages to be self-contained and capable of standing on its own merits. The new combat system has potential but ends up feeling a tad one-note, and it's the only thing that isn't a full improvement over Reverie. On top of that, it's probably the best starting point for new players that doesn't require going back and starting with Trails in the Sky. If you're interested in the franchise, Trails Through Daybreak is a great place to start.
Chris "Atom" DeAngelus · Jul 09, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak takes a while to get moving, but is otherwise as J as JRPGs can get. A new cast of characters and the new settings make it more accessible than previous Trails releases on the Switch, and gameplay tweaks will please those who don’t enjoy the grind of turn-based combat and complex party management.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The spriggan's life is but one of many professions that has emerged from the Calvard Republic. Be it playing detective, negotiator, or bounty hunter, Van Arkride takes on the kind of work that can't be taken to more legitimate sources. It could be something the police can't handle, work that's best left out of the public eye, or even a request from a criminal of organization in the underworld; so long as it pays and doesn't cross too far over the gray line, he'll accept near-any job that comes across his table.
The year is 1208. A prim-and-proper young lady dressed in the uniform of an esteemed academy visits a dilapidated, multi-tenant building in a downtown district of Edith, the nation's capital. With a most dignified gaze, she looks upon the plague of the door before her. It reads: 'ARKRIDE Solutions Office: Complicated Matters Only.'
Steeling herself, she knocks on the door three times.
"First thing in the morning...?" a relaxed yet surprisingly young voice grumbles with a yawn.
From the moment he opens the door to greet her, a new tale begins.
