10 CRIMINALLY Overlooked PS3 Games

10. Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

Localization can be a cruel mistress. While the process has become much more reliable nowadays, even in the age of simul-dubbing, it isn't a guaranteed thing. And just over ten years ago, it was even worse. If you couldn't land a proper distributor in time, get ready for your game's relevance outside of your home country to be shot in the foot.

This was the unfortunate case of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel.

Due to distributing issues, Cold Steel didn't come out in the west until way after the PS3's relevance, being one of the last franchise releases for the console. Add onto that the fact that the Trails series has always struggled over here, and what you get is a game that not a lot of people played. Which is a shame because Trails of Cold Steel rocks.

If you're looking for a really fun turn-based RPG with dating sim mechanics, and Fire Emblem Awakening isn't what you're in the mood for at the moment, you'll have a lot of fun with Trails of Cold Steel.
