Following the latest trailer for The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, publisher NIS America updated the game’s official website, detailing the various minigames and side events players can anticipate.

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MASSIVE TRAILS OF COLD STEEL IV SPOILERS.

The first introduced minigame is “Magical☆Alisa Love Shot.” This story-based 3D rail shooter is its own contained adventure, focusing on alternate versions of several beloved characters, including Alisa Reinford, Altina Orion, and Juna Crowford, on their collective quest as Magical Girls.

Humorously, protagonist Rean Schwarzer is an antagonist of sorts in this scenario. Gameplay comprises rapid standard shots, charged shots to destroy enemy shields, and special shots with unique properties.

Another minigame is “Who Wants to Be a Mirannaire?” Returning from Trails in the Sky 3rd as a minigame hosted by Ouroboros’ Fool, Campanella, Thors Military Academy alumnus Beryl has now taken on the mantle.

This bizarre fortune teller will quiz you on various facets of the Trails series. From basic knowledge, like Zemurian geography, to intricacies, such as family backgrounds, there is quite a bit here to affirm your Trails know-how.

Yet another minigame, or rather, side-scenario, is “Beachside Vay-Cay.” After an employee of Mishelam, Matthew Crawford, also Juna’s father, reaches out to Class VII, the group decides to hang out on the island’s beach.

A couple of minigames are available here: Slaughtermelon Splitting, requiring timed button presses, and Banana Boat, which has Rean ride on the sea with a chosen partner as you maintain balance and collect flags. Further, Intimate Moments can be accessed, where Rean will converse with a girl, and you will have to choose the correct options to keep them engaged. These specific segments are VR-compatible, and it’s also worth noting that a Special Support Section-themed variation of this scenario will be DLC.

The final detailed minigame is “Project Tyrfing.” Professor Makarov of Thors Military Academy is devising a way to link Panzer Soldats with their users, similar to how Awakeners resonated with their Divine Knights during the Civil War and Great Twilight.

These instances enhanced combative performance considerably, so Makarov created a new combat simulator for Rean to help gain data from. Combat is action-based, with you needing to switch between a rifle and a blade for ranged and melee bouts, respectively. Knowing when to evade and embrace defense will also be paramount for victory.

One final element worth elucidating is Daydreams, which we briefly introduced in our previous coverage. These side events obtained from Sealing Stones in the Reverie Corridor detail countless scenarios regarding the lives of the expansive cast. The official website has introduced a few Daydreams, quoted below with accompanying images.

The Fallen Prince

Unlimited Blade Crafts

To uncover the truth behind what’s going on and keep it from spreading any further, Student Council president Elise enlists the aid of new Class VII. Juna and Musse don St. Astraia’s uniforms, and together with a mysterious blue-haired beauty, the investigation is on.

One Lucky Stone & One Unlucky Ship

Trails into Reverie 16 1 — Merchant extraordinaire Jingo has a problem. Though she was successful in opening a new branch for Neinvalli Exchange in the Imperial capital, expanding her business means she needs a new way of getting around–and the funds to foot the bill–fast.

To Your Blessed Future

Justice a Deux

Trails into Reverie 13 1 — You have Inspector Machias Regnitz, a young man visiting Crossbell to oversee the withdrawal of the Imperial army.
You have Alex Dudley, a member of the Crossbell Police Department in command of operations until the official signing of his home’s independence.

The More Things Change

Wishes of a Witch
