Games Like The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (2026)

Shared: Turn-Based Combat, Story-Rich

Fifty-plus hours of found-family melodrama and turn-based brawling in Yokohama, wrapped around one of the most earnest protagonists JRPGs have produced in years. If you can stomach occasional grind walls, this one sticks with you.

Shared: story-rich

A short, filthy RPG that nails the show's voice better than any licensed game has a right to, as long as you can stomach its worst gags.

Shared: Turn-Based Combat

97% positive across 844k Steam reviews, a Metacritic 96, and it still somehow undersells itself. If you have any affection for D&D or narrative RPGs, clear your calendar.
