Perhaps the greatest enhancement all three characters have seen, though, is the elimination of the mana/energy bar from the first game, so you are free to use their abilities to your heart’s content. Voya has both fire (and eventually, explosive) arrows and ice arrows to wield, as well as the ability to make herself invisible for a brief period of time, while Pontius now carries a big hammer that’s perfect for smashing walls (and enemies) and can even be flung to hit those out-of-reach places. Amadeus, in addition to creating boxes and planks, can now pick enemies up using his levitation magic and place them into any sort of nearby peril that may be available. Since the first game, each hero has seen a few improvements to his or her skill set. So our heroes set off once again.Īs with the first, the real focus of Trine 2’s gameplay is about using each of the heroes’ different abilities to tackle foes and maneuver through a variety of physics-based puzzles. As opposed to the first game, where each of the heroes stumble upon the Trine by accident, the mysterious artifact seeks them out as an odd mix of goblins and giant plants seem to be threatening the kingdom. The thief, Zoya, continues to search for treasure in less than fully legitimate ways. The knight, Pontius, helps defend the kingdom and its citizens.

The wizard, Amadeus, has a family now, though he’s still attempting to get that fireball spell down. Trine 2, then, picks up with the three some time later after the once ruined kingdom is restored to its glory and each has been occupied with their own lives.

Through dark forests, mythical caverns, and an eerie castle, the reluctant heroes fight their way past the hordes of skeletons and use their unique abilities to overcome more than a few puzzles before finally righting wrongs.Īfter being restored to their old selves, the trio goes their separate ways. This team up is a result of the eponymous artifact that fuses the souls of the protagonists and sets them off on an adventure to put the dead to rest and restore the kingdom to its glory. In the original Trine, three unlikely heroes – a wizard that’s unable to even cast a fire spell, a heavyset knight, and a cunning thief – are forced to team up and take on a host of undead that are assailing their kingdom.
