| Box art is kinda lame so have one of the title screens(they change every chapter) |
Release date: 2021-09-29.
I wasn't sure if I should write a post about this game as I usually avoid falcom games.
Kuro no Kiseki is the latest installment in falcom's trails series
its a series famous for its over-arching story, characters and worldbuilding.
I'll try to refrain from touching any main plot points and when I do there's a huge warning
though there are some screenshots but without any context! I don't think the ones i've posted
ruin any aspect of the game that hasn't already been touched upon in prerelease info.
So if you want to go into this game blind with only basic info
then I do suggest to not read past the jump break.
Edit: apparantly falcom has released a patch exactly 1 month after release
that fixes some of the many problems at release(why do I feel like a beta-tester now?)
as well as make Van's scraft better and add some art work with Shizuna during final chapter!
I think its nice and shows they care about the game in the long run before moving to the next project.
So keep in mind my issues with say performance may not exist anymore...
Pro's/What I liked:
- Main cast+side.
- Overall plot and decent ending.
- BGM.
Con's/What I disliked:
- Most of the villains.
- Performance issues.
- A part of the last chapter.
OP movie, I think I watched it everytime I boot up the game
but you gotta wait a little on the title screen before it plays.
Kuro takes place in the Calvard republic, with a new MC and cast.
There are some returning characters as per usual but there role was minimal not to say
they don't do anything, depending on L.G.C alignment a certain returnee or other character
at some point might even help you. This game can be pretty dark, focuses a lot on grey areas...
anyway its an alright start to a new arc but perhaps might have been better if it was a little shorter
overall I still liked it though! 7.5 out of 10.
