Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief try to return their powers to the magical artifact Trine. Their attempt breaks the artifact and frees an ancient sorcerer, sending the trio on a journey to repair the damage.
Move through 3D fairytale environments, platform across hazards, battle enemies, and solve physics-based puzzles by combining the heroes’ different abilities. Amadeus summons and moves boxes, Pontius fights with sword and shield, and Zoya uses a bow and grappling hook.
The game can be played alone or with up to three players in local or online co-op. The heroes’ abilities are available from the start, while collectibles unlock access to further levels; separate Lost Pages offer additional contraptions and puzzles.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its detailed, colorful environments, fairytale atmosphere, and music. Some like the move into 3D for the added freedom to explore, and describe the puzzles or co-op sessions as fun. These positives sit alongside recurring complaints that the 3D perspective makes movement awkward and that the short story ends abruptly.
