This leads to come quite decent co-op play when you have two friends in tow, with each of the three characters on the screen simultaneously. You can switch through the characters at will, but it’s usually one particular character that will be the answer if you ever get stuck. Skeleton enemies can be tricky, but bludgeoning them is good fun. She also has a grappling rope which again comes in handy. The knight has a sword and shield and is therefore your best option for close quarters combat, while the thief has the use of a bow and arrow so of course she’s the one to use when you need to pick an enemy off from a safe distance. The wizard has powers of both levitation of objects and to conjure a block out of thin air by drawing shapes – handy for a leg-up to get to an out-of-reach platform. Playing as one of three characters – a knight, a sorcerer and a thief – the game is all about solving puzzles in rooms by making use of the characters’ abilities in order to progress to the next challenge. Trine is a 2.5 platformer which places emphasis on cooperation and team work.

Make no mistake, Trine is full of gorgeous design work. Now the Switch is set to get twice as much Trine as its predecessor.

So if you haven't tried - Trine is a really nice, light game that is not hard for the sake of being hard and does many things right in terms of gameplay mechanics.Us Nintendo fans first became acquainted with the Trine series when it was a Wii U eShop title, and the second game was to follow on the same platform. This means you can complete the level and when there are collectibles missing, you can just restart the level and don't have to complete it to make the rest of the pickups count. The nice thing is that collecting an item is permanent - the XP potion at the start of the level has to be picked up only once. You collect XP from items in the level and enemies, as well as two secrets in each level. This sort of Indiana Jones shenanigans is never required, though. You can stick boxes onto spikes and they stay there, but you can also - if you can pull it off - conjure a box over a chasm and while it is falling, jump on it and jump across. The physics engine strikes a good balance between realism and playability. You can get creative, which becomes easier as you progress through the game - you unlock more skills, which you can use when you go back to earlier levels. The puzzles are not hard and there is no timed element like pressing a button and then rushing to the door - in the regular levels, at least. The switching of the characters is very quick and fluid - you can do stuff like sneak up on a ranged enemy as the Warrior with your shield raised up, switch to the Thief to fire your own arrow and after you released your arrow, switch back to the Warrior and raise the shield to block the incoming shot from the enemy. Finally, the Thief has a ranged bow attack and can grapple onto wooden surfaces and swing across chasms. The Warrior has only melee attacks, but he can block with a shield.
The Wizard is defenseless, but he can create objects, like boxes and levitate them. This causes you to control either of the three and being able to switch between them on the fly. The game starts with a Thief, Warrior, and Wizard finding an artifact, the Trine, which binds their souls together. It is a nice, physics-based action platformer that's quite straightforward. Now that I finished it (roughly 15 hours for all collectibles) I really liked it! I remember trying it out a while ago and being put off by the side-scrolling 3D art style, that just did not sit well with me. I was looking through my rather large collection of unplayed Humble Bundle games and downloaded Trine on a whim.
