Eye candy and pads feast
ccccp | May 9, 2013 | See all ccccp's reviews »Trine is gorgeous. Trine is fun. Trine is co-op playable on the same computer. And you should keep in mind that Trine is not easy if you don't have at least one fellow to share the adventure. All effects, backgrounds, evil creatures are so well designed and animated that Trine looks like a cartoon movie sometimes. But it's a Platformer-Hack-Fairy Tale-and Slash game. Fights, physic enigmas, precise jumps can turn the story into a die and retry experience. The old Prince of Persia, ou Mario and Luigi in dark fantasy are quite an idea of what is this excellent game. Advice : a good controller (X box game pad or else) is useful.

Must Buy!
Nawab2012 | May 5, 2013 | See all Nawab2012's reviews »Fantastic visuals. Someone cared deeply about the art. The voice acting is great, the game play is very fun. Don't hesitate to get this or it's sequel.The graphics are really great with very beautiful colors and effects. Story is mediocre but that doesnt affect the game overall. The puzzles are very clever and can be solved with every character you got, either thief, wizard and knigth. A bit small on gameplay length, featuring 15 levels and a secret one after you finish the game.
The intro before every level is very good and the narrator puts you in the story pretty well.
The music is just epic, one of my favourite scores in gaming.Wish there was more of these games. Absolutely fabulous. The levels feel very polished and stunning to look at. But the wizard needs more Oomph. A better way of using his skills offensively. Buy it now. ;)

Great game, probably the best indie i've played
maddocks2379 | May 5, 2013 | See all maddocks2379's reviews »Trine is a good ive been wanting for a while and i recently picked it up, i've only played single player so i cannot comment on the Co-Op play.
Trine allows you to control 3 characters: A warrior with his strength and shield, A Thief with a grabble & Bow and a wizard who can conjure platforms and boxes.
The gameplay is a Puzzle/Action platformer with beautiful graphics, its smooth and the lighting is amazing at times. The sounds are average, some humorous comments but bad sounds when you hit skeletons and its the combat that lets this game down in my opinion. The skeletons have poor AI, they spawn in repetitively and the combat is fairly unexciting...
Trine is a good game and worth playing, but i hope the combat is improved in Trine 2

Trine is just amazing
MarkDeejay | March 16, 2013 | See all MarkDeejay's reviews »Most beautiful puzzle platformer I've ever played. Damn, I love this game. Seriously. I want to hug it and kiss it, it's THAT good. The game is simple. You complete levels by solving the puzzles. And these puzzles are mostly solved using physics. Depending on the puzzle, you choose one of three characters (you can switch between them on the fly) to solve them. Along the way you battle enemies and collect orbs to level up. You can also find chests with items, so it also has an RPG element to it. A shame the game is over too soon, I really did not want it to end. So I had to replay it several times since then, which, of course, I didn't mind at all. Yes, this is a must have !

Simply beautiful!
ultimategamer | March 8, 2013 | See all ultimategamer's reviews »This simple yet detailed game is a gem in its category! The story in the game is very unique and adds a sense to the environment in the game. Graphic wise, this game has very good graphics and has a lot of detail in the characters and scenery. There are also options for local multi-player or solo game(s). The most unique part about this game is the fact that the player can choose which character he wants to play as throughout the game! Whether the player needs to build a ramp or fight enemies, they can choose between the 3 main ones and satisfy their needs. Recommended for everyone who is interested in a unique game that provides a magic-medieval style of game play!
