    I really like this game. Trinity trigger is an easy to get into, easily digested action rpg. Instead of first or third person it's more isometric, more like diablo 3. If you've played any more recent rpg's then you will easily grasp the story. The visuals are nice, the sound and gameplay are good, it's mostly voice acted and well optimized for the switch with no screen tearing or slowdownsI really like this game. Trinity trigger is an easy to get into, easily digested action rpg. Instead of first or third person it's more isometric, more like diablo 3. If you've played any more recent rpg's then you will easily grasp the story. The visuals are nice, the sound and gameplay are good, it's mostly voice acted and well optimized for the switch with no screen tearing or slowdowns during the game or cut-scenes. It's multiplayer is unlocked after a certain section of the story about 7 hours in. It could have been even better had they implemented hd rumble. My dislike with the game is there is only one difficulty and even though I'm not through with the game I don't see anything suggesting a new game plus. And at 49.99$ for the base game and 59.99$ for the deluxe, which I bought, that adds in all the characters scenarios, plus more accessories and things you can buy ingame through the switch store it really feels kinda greedy by the developers. But hey, anything to make a buck. This game could easily cost you 80-100$. And it's only 15-20 hours which means it will take me 30-40 hours to complete it. Overall when I look at everything that is trinity trigger I would give this game a 8.5 out of 10. Because it's a high quality game during the one or two times you play it. But if you're gaming on a budget this may not be the best return on your investment unless you catch it on sale eventually. Then it's a must buy… Expand

    A fun charming game that has really solid mechanics. No filler or anything to actively waste your time. Story is good with likeable characters & pacing is very well done here in my opinion. It feels very secret of mana especially in combat but puts in a lot of quality of life improvements to make it feel more modern in a good way.. highly recommended!

    Despite the involvement of outstanding artists, the star of Trinity Trigger does not shine as much as one would expect. As engaging as it is, the plot faithfully follows the topoi of the playful genre to which it belongs without ever proposing even vaguely original developments, while from a graphic point of view it seems to have in your hands a production intended for the now defunct Nintendo 3DS. Net of an almost non-existent challenge rate, the frenetic real-time combat system is the most successful aspect of the action RPG, which if played in local multiplayer together with two friends shows much of its great unexpressed potential. Maybe it won't end up in the annals of the JRPG, but overall Trinity Trigger remains a more than decent title. Our advice is to recover it on Nintendo Switch during the discount period.

    Trinity Trigger has some really good ideas that sadly never get fleshed out. The story is quite unique and really could have been something if handled with a bit more care. What begins as a Legend of Mana-esque journey, soon delves into a mess of broken combat, poor directions for the player, and lackluster graphics. Which is really a shame, because with some more time in the oven Trinity Trigger might’ve been able to help differentiate itself from the sea of other RPGs out right now.

    Trinity Trigger would’ve been an easier recommendation had it been cheaper. This might be my favorite Furyu release since The Alliance Alive, and I recommend it for any fans of Secret of Mana who would like to play a game inspired by that classic, but the price point and paid DLC makes it a hard pill to swallow. Once it gets discounted, Mana fans should consider this.
