FEATURES

Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil…

The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities help the player battle an army of undead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Knight unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.

Mix Prince of Persia with Flashback, add true innovation and a great graphics engine… a new legend is born!
3 completely different characters to control at any given time:
Wizard is able to cast physically simulated objects and levitate them in the totally interactive game world
Knight is a mayhem-bringer like no other, able to destroy objects and smash skeletons to pieces with his weapons, including the mighty Storm Hammer!
Thief can hit enemies from a distance with her accurate arrows but she also has a grappling hook to easily swing from one platform to another
Solve challenges and puzzles in many different ways – combine the characters' abilities and let your mind come up with creative solutions never seen before
Characters gain experience points that can be used to upgrade their abilities
Fully interactive game world with life-like physics, including "ragdoll" enemies and more physics objects than you can count!
Co-op mode for up to 3 players on the same system
Based on the proprietary "Frozenbyte GDE" game engine
Superb graphics with next-gen visuals using impressive technical effects such as bloom, reflections and realistic shadows, achieved by using state-of-the-art vertex and pixel shaders
15 carefully designed and challenging levels with a distinctly unique atmosphere and graphics, including the Astral Academy, Crystal Caverns, Dragon Graveyard, Forsaken Dungeons, Fangle Forest and the Ruins of the Perished.
Many different items to collect - each affecting the characters' abilities
Well-hidden secret chests in every level
3 difficulty levels to choose from
Amazing 19-track soundtrack composed by acclaimed Ari Pulkkinen

Great game, as many others have stated, it does bear a resemblance to The Lost Viking. It's good, solid platformer fun with cool physics integrated into the gameplay rather than just being tacked on. Unfortunately, it is too short (finished in about 10 hours), and does not have much replay value once you're done. As such, I wouldn't recommend it at its default price tag, but if it's on promo, then it's certainly a great purchase.

Pros: almost perfect example of what a platformer should be like. Pleasing graphics and sounds/music, and rock-solid gameplay.

Cons: too short, not much replay value to justify the $20 price tag.

A very unique game requiring good logic. Not a typical puzzle solving game. Immersive and fun. Need to figure out which character to use & what physics to apply, to get to the other side. Simple yet ingenious. Loved it.

Really takes me back to being a little kid trying to get some vikings out safe...

This game is great, it takes a good concept and adds a new twist to it while staying true to itself. For $5, its a steal.

A physics based puzzle-platformer that will leave you wanting more!

Trine is a beautifully orchestrated game with a tongue in cheek bit of humor that pokes fun at fantasy stereotypes.

The idea is simple: 3 different characters combined into one, allowing the player to use multiple ways to complete puzzles and challenges. The wizard character can conjure objects (but no fireball!) to transverse obstacles, and crush enemies. The thief attacks enemies from a distance with her bow, and uses her whip to swing across gaps. The knight bashes enemies with his weapons, and tosses heavy objects in a pinch.

The end result is a well polished game, which you will be glad you have in your game library.

The only two downsides of the game is that its a bit short (although acceptably long for the price of the game,) and the game gets a bit easy towards the end of the game, when the three heroes get more expanded abilities. Its too bad that the developers disable "Very Hard" mode until you do a complete walk through, as the game is a bit too easy for my taste in normal and hard mode.

Score Card:
Graphics 8/10
-Not designed to be graphics intense, but very pretty and colorful. Trine presents a beautiful world with varied backgrounds.

Sound 9/10
-Well voice acted with witty dialogue and a nice musical score.

Gameplay 8/10
-Fun physics based platformer, although points deducted for being a bit easy. Casual gamers will enjoy.

Balance 5/10
-Once the player has leveled up a few times, the end game abilities make obstacles a bit too easy to overcome.

Overall 8/10
-Fun game, but game length could be longer, and the game could be more challenging.

It's a great game, very old school and entertaining. I loved the colours and sceneries. As with all the platform games some times it gets on your nerves and its a bit repetitive. Anyway, I bought it on a sale, so it's good and cheap entertainment.

This is a great game for anyone who enjoys old school platformers, especially if you are a Lost Viking fan.

The game is absolutely gorgeous, and the gameplay was engaging enough for me to barrel through it over the course of two days. It was well worth the $10 I paid for it.

Note that it does have some control issues (you can't hold up and jump, for example) and multiple keyboards not actually working (even with the setting enabled), so it isn't perfect. But it still a worthwhile diversion.

Trine is a game where you know the creators took care in making the game and had a passion while doing so. The game consists of playing as three characters that you can switch to on-the-fly as you play. You will need each character depending on the setting in which you find yourself.
While not an overly hard game, it will present the player with some challenging moments how to get to some of the Experience vials. Also, while not very hard you will find yourself dying more than you expect from the foes you face.
The game itself plays well as a side-scroller and the graphics are very well done. The physics are at times hit-or-miss, but overall add to the enjoyment of the game.
The developers seem to be very friendly and helpful on the official Trine site and forums. Trine is a game worth playing and one that I have gone back to simply see if I can press on a bit further in the game and solve how to get to various areas. It is a fun game that will pass the time well.

Pretty decent graphics and very good physics. Most i enjoyed was smashing the skeletons with the big hammer and see them fly all over the place, some of the puzzles were rather well done but most of them were really easy (i played on easy so i dont know if it makes difference on how hard you play it on). Only problem i had with this game was that it was too short and thats why i would say not worth 30 euros for something that i could play through in 1 day (easy dif). Overall i give it 4*
