Released in 2009, Trine was a side-scrolling indie game that was well received
for its gorgeous visuals, enjoyable gameplay and of course, sense of physicality
brought on by the Havok engine. Now, nearly two years later, developer
Frozenbyte return with a sequel and while the fundamentals largely stay the
same, Trine 2 feels like a breath of fresh air from all the conventional
action/first person shooters on the block.
In Trine 2 you play as one of three characters - a mage, a warrior and a rogue with more or less the same goal; protect a magical kingdom from evil. You can switch between these characters at any given point in this game with the press of a button. Every character brings his or her own brand of speciality to the table, so the rogue will probably end up being your choice for platforming, while the warrior is naturally more productive at combat. The mage on the other hand can conjure objects that aid in platforming and later on even raise enemies only to fling them to their death Psi-Ops style.
As you proceed through the game, you’ll collect orbs that will allow you to buy new
powers for your characters or upgrade existing ones. It’s obviously not as deep
as some of the RPGs you’re used to, but it works just fine for this kind of a
game. The game has upped the ante when it comes to puzzles and even though this
is a side-scrolling game, you’ll find yourself stumped many at times by some of
the game’s devious puzzles. Thankfully, the game never feels too tough or too
cheap; if anything, you’ll actually feel a bit stupid when you solve a puzzle
you stared at for hours, because the answer was right in front of you all along.
Gameplay mechanics stay more or less the same, while playing co-op (this game supports both local and online co-op now), only now you have way more options of tackling the game. For example, one person could switch to the mage and suspend an enemy in mid-air, while the other, playing as the rogue freezes him with a frost arrow. Even during platforming and puzzle solving, you’ll be amazed at how differently the game plays out in co-op as opposed to a solo run through. The only problem here is that both players cannot be the same character at the same time. Still not an issue as the game becomes a lot simpler and way more enjoyable in co-op.
Visually Trine 2 is like a fairy tale book brought to life in stunning HD. The lighting effects in particular are impressive and help convey a sense of calmness and serenity rarely felt in games today. The game’s levels may not be tremendously innovative, but they do drive home the whole fairy tale feel this game has going for it. Special mention also goes to the game’s score that fits the theme, perfectly. The game can get pretty tough and will push your imagination and reflexes to the test many a times.
