Trails of Cold Steel IV and The Wonderful 101 Hitting Amazon Luna in May
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV and
The Wonderful 101: Remastered. The cloud gaming service is currently in early access with an introductory price of $5.99 per month for its subscription.
Amazon announced a total of four new games coming to its cloud gaming channel Luna+ during the month. The titles are
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV,
The Wonderful 101: Remastered,
Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos, and
RAD. The blog post did not list a specific release date for the first three games. However, it did note
R-Type is back! It is perhaps not the best
R-Type, but it is certainly
R-Type. Really nice to be playing a brand new entry in this classic series, and one that seems to have been a serious passion project at that. However, I would be remiss in my duties if I failed to mention that this Switch version is quite rough. The framerate bounces up and down depending on what’s happening on-screen, and the load times are significant, even between deaths. Those are two things you really don’t want to see in a shoot-em-up in particular. Can you still have fun with it? Sure, if you can tolerate framerate dips and generally iffy technical performance, there’s a good shooter in here. But if you have any other option, you should take it.
In a Class VII by itself.
The opening of Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV is so convoluted that it seems to be warning players to not start here. It throws us into battle with unfamiliar characters, and it gives us a slow, lengthy overview of what’s happened after the final events of Trails of Cold Steel III. Starting that game without having played I and II (neither of which were available for Nintendo systems) was hard enough. Starting with IV would be impossible.
Thankfully, once IV decides to get going, it rarely lets up. I won’t go into too many details on the plot for fear of spoiling the ending of Trails of Cold Steel III. I’ll just sum up by saying we start two weeks after that game’s final battle, with New Class VII attempting to pick up the pieces. This mostly involves teaming up with Old Class VII and various others to find their missing allies and answer some big questions.
