    Есть интересные задумки, но, имхо, одному играть скучновато. Игра, очевидно, только для кооператива.

    This game gives you the choice between the original version and the Enchanted Edition, and I've solely played the latter, just a heads-up.

    Having known about this game for a while, my introduction was through searching for titles akin to The Lost Vikings, a classic I held dear. Trine draws inspiration from it, yet it falls short, if you ask me – but that's another discussion.

    Having known about this game for a while, my introduction was through searching for titles akin to The Lost Vikings, a classic I held dear. Trine draws inspiration from it, yet it falls short, if you ask me – but that's another discussion.

    Visually, the game shines with beauty, though occasionally I struggled to discern details, exemplified by the last level which I'll keep spoiler-free. Despite this, the game's aesthetics remain impressive.

    Gameplay is enjoyable yet intermittently mundane. Playing alongside my less-gamer girlfriend brought some amusement, although I found it rather straightforward. The puzzles, too, prove relatively undemanding. Characters possess distinct roles, yet often any of them can suffice to advance. A significant frustration for me was the movement and jumping mechanics – you'll grasp my point once you start playing. It's irksome navigating jumps without tumbling off ledges.

    A story exists, but honestly, I could summarize it in two sentences – that's all I recall, and there's little more to it. Uncomplicated and forgettable, the narrative hardly lingers. The ending mirrored this mediocrity, aligning gameplay-wise.

    In essence, it's a gratifying encounter if you're into this genre or a fan of The Lost Vikings, or if you seek a casual co-op game. Regrettably, apart from these scenarios, my endorsement falters. If you're considering this game for any other reason, well, perhaps it's best to reconsider.    … Expand

    Confesso que não consigo entender as criticas tão positivas que esse jogo possui, porque pra mim ele é um tanto fraco.

    ---== Gráficos ==-- O jogo possui uma arte bonita em 2D, com cenários mais caprichados. Porém só existe um tipo de inimigo e quase nenhuma variação de obstáculos. eles são dispostos de forma diferente nas fases, porém o modelo é o mesmo. Os personagens jogaveis são OK,    Confesso que não consigo entender as criticas tão positivas que esse jogo possui, porque pra mim ele é um tanto fraco.

    O jogo possui uma arte bonita em 2D, com cenários mais caprichados. Porém só existe um tipo de inimigo e quase nenhuma variação de obstáculos. eles são dispostos de forma diferente nas fases, porém o modelo é o mesmo. Os personagens jogaveis são OK, mas as animações dos movimentos são boas.

    ---== História ==--
    Praticamente nula. Tem uma pequena narração antes de cada fase e é praticamente irrelevante.

    ---== Gameplay ==--
    Os puzzles até são divertidos de passar, mas acho que o jogo deveria encerrar ai. O combate é ruim, sendo que praticamente não usei o cavaleiro no jogo. As skills são bem desbalanceadas sendo que algumas eu nunca usei mesmo na dificuldade mais alta.
    Talvez o jogo fosse muito melhor se tivessem focado exclusivamente nos puzzles.

    ---== Resumo ==--
    Paguei R$6,99 o que faz a minha exigência ser bem baixa e por esse motivo vou recomendar. Pois eu me diverti nos puzzles mas foi só.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun little game with some unique elements.

    Trine is a surprisingly good indie game with some unique features. It’s a simple game with a standard story, three heroes who must save the kingdom by traveling to an evil tower. You play as a knight, suitable for melee, a wizard who can conjure stuff and a thief who can climb with her grappling hook and shoot arrows. The game is focused on progressing through the levels, solving puzzles and kill enemies.

    Each character has their own abilities and using them at the right time, depending on the situation is a necessity. The game runs heavily on physics meaning almost anything can be moved or thrown. The physics work quiet well most of the time and do not glitch out, besides for some enemies who get stuck with their legs on platforms.

    The graphics are quite nice, especially in the enhanced version of the game. The backgrounds are nice and colorful. The music is atmospheric and gives the feeling you are playing a medieval fantasy game.

    The game play mechanics in Trine, such as the conjuring of your own boxes, bridges and platforms is a nice and unique concept and works pretty well. When facing an obstacle, the wizard is a reliable ally who can make a bridge over a hole or summon a box to make the jump. The good thing is, that when a character dies, you can still play with the other two. The levels are designed in a way that you can always progress further with any of the three characters if that one is the only one left before the next checkpoint.

    My only complaint is the jump mechanics. They just do whatever they want. One moment you grab on to the ledge, the other moment the character does not even try and falls in the pit. Sometimes your jump goes smooth and straight forward, the other moment it is delayed, and you jump just 10 centimeters forward. It just feels stiff and broken. But nothing an extra platform from the wizard cannot fix.

    I enjoyed Trine and for the price, would definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    Trine is simply an unpretentious and effortlessly lovely adventure, if never quite special enough to nudge into the echelons of 9/10 and above. Immediately likeable, hugely enjoyable and brimming with charming detail every step of the way, your enjoyment may depend on how many friends you can share the journey with, but few would regret time spent in the company of this trio.

    Trine isn't as new and exciting as current 2D platforming king Braid was on its release, but its combination of tight controls, exiting action and physics-based puzzles makes it easy to recommend to platforming fans. It's a shame the multiplayer isn't more interesting, but when played alone it shouldn't be hard to get many hours of fun out of Frozenbyte's impressive looking title.
