Initially, once you first take charge of your students, this new Academy feels a lot like a case of deja vu.

However, having just re-read my own review I did last year (which I’m quite proud of), I feel that one pretty much covers everything you’ll need to know about the game without having to repeat myself in here (other than the story synopsis below). I feel the game doesn’t warrant a full re-review as the game is identical to its PC and PS4 counterpart, albeit with additional content which was once DLC (which I’ll go into later into the review). I’ve not finished the story on the hybrid device but I’ve played enough to get a feel of the various mechanics and see how they compare to the PS4 edition. I’ve spent around 20 hours playing the Nintendo Switch version of the game, compared to over 180 hours on the PS4.

If you wish to read about the mechanics, gameplay, story, and the various mini-games, please check out my original review which is linked above.

As I’ve already written a comprehensive review of the game when it launched on the PS4 ( HERE), this review will be focused on my experience on the Switch and the extra content included, rather than a fully detailed article as I usually do.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III launched on the PlayStation 4 last October, followed by Steam in March this year, and today marks the date that Nintendo Switch owners also get the opportunity to play this amazing game.
