It is great that many of us Wii U gamers, like myself included, get to see where these characters came from and why they are on a quest together. In Trine Enchanted Edition, you will get to follow Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief in their origin story.

TRINE ENCHANTED EDITION PS3 PLUS

Plus who likes getting sequels without having the opportunity to play the original? Even though Trine Enchanted Edition is a prequel to the already available Trine 2, gamers that loved the second will love to go back and discover where the characters they enjoyed so much came from. As the third-party support for Nintendo’s home console has been dwindling, the indie studios have stepped in (rather well I might add) to fill in the gaps between first party games. The game shined (quite literally) with all it’s bloom effects, reflective nature and undeniable great use of color. Now, if you got a real kick out of Trine 2: Director’s Cut, understand that Trine: Enchanted Edition was made using the Trine 2 engine, so you’re essentially getting an expansion-have fun! I just prefer something a little faster-paced.When the Wii U first launched back in 2012 one of the graphical show pieces from indie studio Frozenbyte was Trine 2. I can appreciate what it has accomplished, but its slow, methodical brand of puzzle platforming and the “meh” combat leave me wanting. Trine: Enchanted Edition is a good game, well made and competent, but not necessarily for me. Oddly, with two players, either can switch at any time between their character and the third unused character-this means, practically, that the third character has the ability to teleport. Local is the way to go unless you’re connecting to somebody on your Friends list. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer component is hampered by two untoward facts: (1) nobody is actually playing * and (2) when you do connect to somebody, you may hit connection issues, as I did. Three players can get in on the Trine goodness, and having all three players on screen at once is quite a feat. You have the option of local or online multiplayer, as well. Can I jump there? Can I step there? Is that a wooden panel that Zoya’s grapple can attach to? Is that a wall I can break through? It’s often difficult to say until you actually try it, which probably isn’t the intention, especially when taking damage (or dying) is the result of a failed experiment. But they might also want to take a step back, because too often, the game’s beauty actually obscured the underlying level design. Every game developer should play Trine and learn something from it.

The colors, the attention to detail, the fact that no two rooms look alike-it’s all inspiring. Like its sequel, Trine is stunningly gorgeous although there’s way too much bloom lighting, especially in outdoor sections. For Amadeus, for example, upgrading may mean being able to conjure TWO boxes at a time.

Collecting 50 orbs allows you to upgrade one of your characters’ abilities. For example, Pontius’ first “upgrade” is the ability to carry and throw small objects using a “Gravity Shield.” Aside from surviving to the end of each level, your main goal will be collecting all the green experience orbs and treasure chests. As your progress, each character gains two more abilities. Zoya can fire a bow for a distance attack and use a grappling hook to cross large gaps. Amadeus can lift certain objects in the world, like boxes, and also conjure clockwork boxes out of thin air. His shield can also reflect projectile attacks. Pontius has a sword and shield and will be your main undead-dispatcher. There is no level timer, and you are encouraged to take things slowly, noticing every detail of a given puzzle before acting. This is a thinking man’s puzzle platformer. The three heroes-Pontius the Knight, Amadeus the Wizard, and Zoya the Thief-must use their unique abilities to traverse the environment, solve puzzles, and defeat enemies. They’re on a quest to save their realm from an ancient evil, of course, and their journey is told through an omnipresent narrator. The game concerns three protagonist joined at the hip by a magical artifact called the Trine-what this really means is that you can magically switch between characters at the tap of a button.

As it turns out, however, it doesn’t differ very strongly. I was excited to try the original, however, as I wondered how it would differ from its sequel.

TRINE ENCHANTED EDITION PS3 SERIES

The game is beautiful, but slow-paced, essentially consisting of a series of puzzle rooms with some minor combat. I enjoyed, but did not stick with, Trine 2. Now here’s a strange beast: Trine 2: Director’s Cut was a launch game for the Wii U eShop, and almost three years later, we’re getting the original-but the original as rebuilt in the Trine 2 engine.
