Cold Steel II doubles down on the first game's strengths: a deep, intricate combat system built around link attacks and strategic positioning, and a sprawling narrative with a cast of dozens. Its appeal lies in the way it weaves together these elements, allowing you to form meaningful bonds with your party members that directly impact their abilities in battle. The game's New Game Plus mode and multiple difficulty options invite replays to experience the branching story paths and unlock all the hidden content.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month after the decisive collision that changed the fate of the entire nation of Erebonia. The speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system returns, with all the bells and whistles players fondly remember, along with the new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation both across the land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.
