Trine: Ultimate Collection

Trine: Ultimate Collection is a compilation of four platform and logic games from the Trine series: Trine Enchanted Edition, Trine 2: Complete Story, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power and Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. All the titles were developed by the independent studio Frozenbyte. The set's release was handled by Modus Games.

Plot

Action of the games included in the compilation takes place in a fairy-tale-like world. The main characters of the stories told in them are the knight Pontius, the thief Zoya and the sorcerer Amadeus. We get to know the protagonists at the moment when their fates intertwine with each other due to the magical artifact - the eponymous Trine.

In the first part of the series, the task of our heroes is to face hordes of the undead, which attacked the land inhabited by them. In the second part of the cycle, the heroes have to deal with a goblin army with only clue at their disposal being two enigmatic names - Rosabel and Isabel. Trine 3: Artifacts of Power revolves around an immoral sorcerer who managed to escape from his prison. In Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince the heroes come to the rescue of a lost prince whose nightmares make their way to the real world.

Mechanics

In Trine: Ultimate Collection we play as the aforementioned heroes, each of which has individual abilities. Zoya eliminates enemies at a distance with a bow, and thanks to a hook line, she can reach places inaccessible to other heroes. Knight Pontius, on the other hand, is great in close combat and blocking attacks of enemies with the help of a shield. The weakest is Amadeus, who can materialize objects and move them by telekinesis.

When traveling through the fairy-tale-like locations, we have to make use of the strengths of each of the characters. Only in this way can we solve ingenious puzzles, avoid numerous traps and obstacles, and face adversaries, led by powerful bosses.

Game modes

Trine: Ultimate Collection can be played solo (all games enable us to switch between heroes freely) or in cooperation with other players.

Technical aspects

All games in the Trine: Ultimate Collection compilation feature eye-catching visual with colorful graphics in a fairy-tale-like style. It is worth noting that only the third part of the cycle is fully 3D; the visuals of the others were made in the 2.5D technique.
