Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil…
The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics – each character’s different abilities help the player battle an army of undead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Knight unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.
- Mix Prince of Persia with Flashback, add true innovation and a great graphics engine… a new legend is born!
- 3 completely different characters to control at any given time:
- Wizard is able to cast physically simulated objects and levitate them in the totally interactive game world
- Knight is a mayhem-bringer like no other, able to destroy objects and smash skeletons to pieces with his weapons, including the mighty Storm Hammer!
- Thief can hit enemies from a distance with her accurate arrows but she also has a grappling hook to easily swing from one platform to another
- Solve challenges and puzzles in many different ways – combine the characters’ abilities and let your mind come up with creative solutions never seen before

Pick up Trine for $5.00, down from $19.99!
Trine is fantastic and totally worth the $19.99 it usually is, so at $5 you’re pretty much being a cheap bastard for not buying it. Seriously, why wouldn’t you buy a game that lets you light a man on fire, shoot him the face with an arrow, then slam a blade into his skull all in the same encounter?
