Nintendo Switch - Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure [Deluxe Edition]

rails to Azure is set a few months after the ending of Trails from Zero. The protagonists, the police's Special Support Section (SSS), are joined by new recruits – the Army sergeant major Noel Seeker and the former gang leader Wazy Hemisphere.

Again, unscrupulous figures seek to use the powers of KeA, the young girl adopted by the SSS in the first game, for their own ends. They are led by the mayor, Dieter Crois, who wants to use KeA to maitain Crossbell's independence, and his daughter Mariabell, who would rewrite history through KeA. The SSS have to brave civil unrest and occult intrusions to foil their plans. After the Croises are defeated, KeA relinquishes her powers, but Crossbell is annexed by the Erebonian Empire, which leads into the events of the Trails of Cold Steel arc.

The combat of Trails is turn-based with tactical elements. Unlike most other turn-based games, the series lacks random encounters as most enemies are visible on the overworld. Combat takes place on a large grid, with characters only able to move across a set number of squares or perform a single ability each turn. Turns are listed on a timeline on the screen, which can be manipulated with certain abilities. In addition to basic attacks and item usage, every character has abilities known as Crafts and Arts. Crafts are unique to each character and are usually unlocked or strengthened by leveling up. S-Crafts are a character's ultimate ability fueled by a meter that builds as they deal and take damage. When full, players can use it at any time to bypass the turn order to perform skills such as dealing large amounts of damage or supporting their party with healing and buffs.
