Trails in Redemption

Trails in Redemption (Eiyu no Densetsu: Tsugunai no Kiseki, literally "The Legend of Heroes- Trails of Atonement") is the sequel to Trails of Black, and the second game of the Calvard duology.
It starts the Isuka arc, taking place after Kuro no Kiseki 3.
This game starts the trend of character creation in Trails, as most other Trails games have had a speaking protagonist. 
== Setting ==
The game is set in Isuka, a vast desert in East Zemuria that once was a great empire before the Demon Holocaust of 130 years ago caused its destruction. The ancient capital of Isuka is now deserted, and the Wind Sept-Terrion, the Okkyo Onnivejjente, is hidden in its ruins, now nothing more than a myth among Isukans. 
Various peoples, descended from the Navagraha of the Isuka Empire, inhabit the few cities in this now deserted land. For instance, the city of Bronski is inhabited by the Russian/Ainu-like Bronski people, descended from the Brashpati Navagraha, while the Romanian-like Budasti of Budastan are descended from the Budha Navagraha, and the Chinese-like Ketu (of which the Heiyue Mafia is the most important group in Western Zemuria) are descended from the Ketu Navagraha. 
Society is extremely loosely united, and poverty and gang violence are rampant. The Isukan city-states controlled by Ndrine are continuously fighting among themselves. Orbal technology is hard to come by, except for Marduk-sponsored gangs such as Croce della Vendetta. People travel the desert in heavy gasoline-powered cars called Corazzate. 
People who roam the desert, unaffiliated with any Ndrina nor any city, are called Rinnegati (or Haiducii in Budastan).

=== Playable: Legione di Ferro Samurai Group ===
Iwamoto il Kriminale (default name: Bruno/Paola): Player-created protagonist of this game. They don't talk in cutscenes aside from dialogue options. Their options are much more plot-relevant than Van Arkride's ones, and will always lead to the death of at least one (if not all three) between Isaak, Dilip and Jorjo. They're a practitioner of the Lama Sakrifikale, an assassination art which involves pacts with the Devils from the Beyond. 
Anastasya "Asya" Goyyo/Asya Rem Misurugi: A 27-year-old Rinnegata, traveling through the desert alongside her younger sister Sofia. She and Sofia are looking for revenge against the Kroce della Vendetta, who had taken over Fosse Akihabardeatine when they were children and

== Trivia ==
* Isuka has both Italian, Romanian and Japanese inspiration. The Okkyo Onnivejjente Sept-Terrion is named in Italian and it means "all-seeing eye". 
* This game's main theme is called "La Legione di Ferro" and is sung in Italian by J-Pop band Hobbit. 
* A double Y sound is rare in Japanese, but it's pronounced as the Italian GL sound. 
* Asya can be romanced by a protagonist of both genders. Romancing Sofia, on the other hand, leads you to a bad ending.
* The game's aesthetic was described as "Pizzushi". 
* There are many shouts-out to the anime Ken il Guerriero,
