The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: PC requirements and the PC you need

About The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is the first chapter of Nihon Falcom's long-running Trails series of Japanese RPGs. You follow Estelle Bright and her adopted brother Joshua as they train as bracers, a guild of helpers and protectors, and travel across the Kingdom of Liberl. Battles are turn-based on a grid, and the story is rich with characters and detail. It is single player. It needs very little power, so any of our gaming PCs plays it perfectly.

What The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, and to play it well the makers suggest almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with 1GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
