The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Being one of my favourite RPG franchises, I'm very happy to discuss The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II today so let's get to it.
Nothing about Trails Through Daybreak 2 dampens my enthusiasm for the series as a whole. I will be playing the next one the moment it’s available. This is one of the more disappointing Legend of Heroes titles, given that its biggest failing – the narrative – is typically what you want to play this series for – but even on a bad day The Legend of Heroes is a more interesting and entertaining vision and project than most JRPGs can aspire to be.
Trails Through Daybreak 2 is a fantastic continuation of the franchise, even with some stumbles in story pacing, and it's a joy to play on the Steam Deck.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II does what every good JRPG sequel should do: make it a friend fest, filling your adventure party with all the characters you know and love for one big journey. Set mere months after the first Daybreak game hit the west, lovable ruffian Van Arkride and co. are introduced to new threats and must work together to unravel the mystery.
Trails Through Daybreak II offers a fun mix of good storytelling, strategic gameplay, and character growth. However, it might be a bit too much for new players because of its complicated story and features.
Whilst the story isn’t as strong as the previous title, the endearing, well-written characters and exciting battle systems make this a Trails game that’s well worth it for long-time fans of the franchise.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II refines its unique combat while telling an engrossing story that can’t help but stumble due to odd writing choices and poorly utilized plot elements.
Despite a dull narrative, Trails Through Daybreak II still has many enjoyable aspects.The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak was a great step up for Falcom three years ago. I could [...]
Nihon Falcom returns to the Republic of Calvard in The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II. While the game might not advance the series worldbuilding all that much, there's plenty of enjoy spending more time with its cast.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 is an ambitious, but flawed, sequel to one of last year's best JRPGs
The latest addition to Falcom's long-running RPG series isn't a complete disaster, but it's far from a triumph, and the new features barely raise it above the underwhelming story.
After a near 50-hour journey, my second trip to the Republic of Calvard was certainly worth it. Despite my issues with the story and the new dungeon, Trails Through Daybreak 2 remains compelling thanks to its strong cast of characters, enjoyable combat and well-considered worldbuilding. It's not quite the leap forward I was hoping for, though it's still a great time that I'd recommend to any fans of the first game.
