    C. Epstein, the father of the Orbal Revolution, predicted the end of the Zemuria continent. As that "X-Day" approaches, a single Orbal rocket is about to be launched from a huge base built in the land of Kunlun.

    "Can humans reach the outer atmosphere?" "What is at the end of the continent?" "Can humanity know the truth of the 'world'?"

    As the whole world focuses its attention on this great historic undertaking, a young man from the "Spriggan" and other forces from all over the country are about to gather in a certain place in the Oredo Autonomous Region, which could be called the technological singularity.

    Will the single path that aims for the distant heavens become the future of Zemuria...or...

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is the pinnacle of Trails storytelling alongside the best evolution of the hybrid action turn-based combat.

    While Trails Beyond the Horizon excels especially in its combat and RPG systems, it also succeeds with its main story and side content, such as the Grim Garten, character relationship system, and side quests that all tell unique stories worth listening to. Trails Beyond the Horizon is a game that deserves recognition and is up there with some of the best the genre has to offer.

    A truly engrossing RPG, The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon is the best game in the Calvard arc yet and a must-play for series fans.

    Rather than a jumping-in point, Trails Beyond the Horizon is third in a trilogy and not a good place to start this series. However, for those already neck deep in Zemuria, Horizon is a well-built conclusion to the Calvard arc, and a fun way to spend 80 hours and send off Van and his team in style.

    Trails Beyond the Horizon is a game that demands attention, memory, and patience, but in return offers a vast, layered, and coherent narrative, something few JRPGs manage today. The combat system is solid and rewarding, side quests and optional modes add depth, and those who have followed the series so far will find continuous satisfaction.

    Trails Beyond the Horizon is not a game for everyone, and that is both its strength and its weakness. The title rewards years of careful buildup with strong revelations and a compelling finale, but demands a great deal of patience in return.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon builds on a solid and familiar structure, very similar to that of its two predecessors, while significantly deepening its connections with the other chapters of the Trails series. Although its narrative suffers from notable pacing issues, the experience is upheld by a charismatic cast and a robust combat system.
