The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

After graduating from Thors Military Academy, Rean Schwarzer becomes an instructor at its branch campus and takes charge of a new Class VII. As the Empire and its neighboring lands face political tensions, Rean and his students encounter familiar allies and new threats. Travel with the class on field exercises, explore towns and surrounding areas, take on quests, and uncover developments tied to the wider conflict. The story continues threads from earlier entries while following Rean’s shift from student to mentor. Combat is turn-based, with character positioning, customizable quartz setups, crafts, and arts. The Break System can leave enemies vulnerable, while Brave Orders grant party-wide effects; the game also features mech battles and the Vantage Masters card game.

As Rean Schwarzer trains a new Class VII, lead field exercises across Erebonia and fight turn-based battles amid political intrigue.
