We get to meet the members of a mafia organization named “Armata” (“The Army” in Italian) including its three bosses, Melchior, Viola, and Alexander. Arioch and Olympia also work with them, attracted by the way Armata aims to control everything with fear.

Next is a look at Grendel, which is the transformed form of our hero Van. Not only his battle parameters are greatly changed when he’s in this form, but Grendel has a completely different battle style. He can attack twice per turn and can deliver massive damage by combining basic attacks, physical attack crafts, magical attack crafts, and boost activation.

We get to see his basic attacks Quick Blow, Heavy Spike, his physical attack craft Savage Hands, and his S craft Regal Strike. Depending on the progress of the story, it’ll also be possible to fight in a party with other members while in Grendel form.

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki is the next game of the Trails series. It’ll release in Japan on September 30, 2021, for PS4. At the moment, no additional platforms have been hinted at, even if Trails games do tend to get ports down the line.

At the moment, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki has not been announced for the west. Recently, NIS America revealed plans to localize The Legend of Heroes Trails From Zero, The Legend of Heroes Trails to Azure, The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie for PS4, Switch, and PC all the way into 2023.

While this means that we’re going to finally be able to experience some relevant missing chapters of the franchise, it also means that we likely have a long wait ahead of us before we can get our hands on Kuro no Kiseki in English.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
