TRINE 2 SONG SERIES

These points can then be used in the skill tree menu to earn new abilities for our three heroes. When enough experience orbs are collected (the exact number is fifty), players earn a skill point. Many of these are housed in some devious locations that require either some clever sleuthing to discover them and/or tricky platforming to reach them. In the majority of levels in Trine 2, there are experience orbs that are carefully placed and hidden throughout the levels. This is not for the weak, for sure-which is why I didn't play it! Well, unless you play the Hardcore Mode, where once a character is dead, they're dead for good until you beat the level. Thankfully, Trine 2's checkpoint system has it where not does your progress in the level save upon reaching them so you can quit and come back to the game later to pick up right where you left off (levels are quite long, so this is a godsend), but your characters and their health are fully restored when you reach a checkpoint. While many puzzles have more than way of solving them-that is, with a little ingenuity, patience, and otherwise occasional stubbornness-sometimes a specific character is necessary to make progress. Zoya leaps into action as the most mobile and agile of our three heroes.Īs stated, each of the three heroes depends on one another. For her offensive capabilities, she has equipped a bow and arrow, able to pick off and snipe enemies from far away. The attached line can allow Zoya to lower and raise herself as the situation calls. Zoya can attach a grappling hook to wooden surfaces and swing across chasms and gaps. What is Pontius' favorite Peter Gabriel song? 'Sledgehammer', of course.įinally, Zoya the Thief is probably my favorite of the three to play as-but don't get me wrong, each of the trio has their own uses and completing the game with just one hero is pretty much impossible. Also equipped with a hammer that can be thrown at will, this hammer can break open otherwise impenetrable walls and chambers. He is best suited for combat, equipped with a sword and shield-the latter of which can reflect enemy projectiles and block attacks. Then, there's Pontius the Knight, who is the muscle and brawn of the group of heroes. These boxes can hold down pressure plates, be used as platforms to reach higher up destinations, and a multitude of various other uses.Īmadeus the Wizard can not only summon boxes by drawing a box shape with the right analog stick,īut he can also use his powers to manipulate and move other objects within the environment. You have Amadeus the Wizard, who can conjure boxes and later planks out of thin air. Trine 2 stars a trio of protagonists that can be switched and cycled through with the shoulder buttons. What you get with Trine 2: Complete Story is 20 levels spread out across two unique stories-the original Trine 2 game that encompasses 13 levels, and The Goblin Menace-formerly DLC to the base game-that contains 7 unique levels, one of which is hidden and requires you to find secret maps in treasure chests to unlock it. Now, many years later I return to Trine 2 with Trine 2: Complete Story, which is essentially the same game as the Wii U version but without the aid of the Wii U GamePad's multiple uses such as the touch screen.

TRINE 2 SONG SERIES

My first encounter with the Trine series was on the Wii U with-funnily enough-Trine 2: Director's Cut.
