The knight's primary abilities are the use of his sword for dispensing enemies and shield to protect against against ranged attacks and environment dangers. This allows for a great deal of freedom in how a player can decide to overcome the obstacles in levels. The genuine delight of gameplay is in the ability to instantly switch between each of the three heroes. There are also a few boss battles that help in offering some variety to the platform and puzzle heavy levels. Monsters of various sorts including goblins and giant crabs will attempt to impede progress or distract from solving puzzles. In between puzzles, players will have to traverse platform sections that are further complicated by environmental dangers including spikes, falling magma, and magic turrets. The primary focus of gameplay revolves around physic based puzzles that can involve multiple elements such as water, fire, and magic. The real incentive to complete levels in Trine 2 can be contributed to the gameplay that will have players smashing on their space bar in order to time jumps across trenches of boiling magma. The story can best be described as a subtle underlaying to the gameplay that simply offers extra inncentive to complete each level. It is not until the last few levels that the game remembers that it was presenting a story to players. There are hints scattered around levels in the forms of books and notes that expand the story of the princess and the relationship with her sister. The primary arc of events revolve around assisting a princess in finding and destroying a goblin king. The story of Trine 2 is a simple affair that involves the game’s primary heroes of a knight, thief, and wizard uniting again by the power of the Trine artifact. The knight, thief, and wizard unite once again for another adventure that will require each of their special abilities to save the kingdom. Trine 2 is a sequel to the 2009 side-scrolling hybrid that combined platforming, puzzle solving, and monster slaying into a pleasant surprise from Finnish developer Frozenbyte. However, one game decided to battle for the attention of gamers away from titles such as Skyrim and Skyword Sword. Not yet, anyway.In the recent onslaught of big name holiday titles on the market, most games of smaller stature opted to push their releases farther away to avoid being left to the wayside. A babbling brook we hear but only see in teasing glimpses between the trees. Maybe with a giant snail casually munching on lettuce in the background. I noticed a conspicuous lack of, for example, vast forests bathed in teal mist and bristling with branches to swing from. Steam Workshop repositories are live for both games, though all you'll find there right now is a level a Frozenbyte chap made with lots of spiked balls. The Trine 1 editor is only for the Enhanced Edition, I should say, the fancied-up version ported to Trine 2's engine. Basic instructions are over on a wiki they've set up, including how to download it. That's why it's not properly officially launch just yet, they say. The level editor is the one Frozenbyte themselves use, so documentation is predictably sparse. A string of grappling hook playgrounds, perhaps. They let folks create new levels, edit existing ones, and put together their own multi-level campaigns. Developers Frozenbyte have released public beta versions of the level editors for both its magical puzzle-platformers, you see, but I'm oh so horribly busy this week. If someone could kindly make a Trine 2 level that's a big huge grappling hook playground with daring leaps and grand fairytale vistas, I'd be much obliged.
