The Legend of Nayuta is an incredibly polished experience. It feels like the culmination of Falcom’s action RPG expertise at the time, having already developed games like Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys VI: Ark of Napishtim, and the Zwei duology.

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails may not be the traditional JRPG we expect from Nihon Falcom, but it is still fantastic and runs great on Steam Deck.

The Legend of Nayuta Boundless Trails doesn't have the kind of depth many RPG fans may want. At the same time, there's a universality to the gameplay loop that still works well when compared to the modern mobile game formula.

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is a fun action RPG that takes elements of the wider series it's based on and crafts something unique.

While the story may be simplistic and not as politically engrossing as the mainline Trails games, the heartfelt cast of characters and side quests help flesh out its world.
