Trine 2
Three Heroes survive in countless dangers in a fairy-tale world, with physics-based jigsaw puzzles, beautiful scenery, and cooperative online mode.
What it feels like
A playful, fanciful tone that delights in its fairy-tale setting, magic system, and cooperative adventure. A carefree, unburdened mood that treats the fantastical quest with charm rather than gravitas. A childlike sense of wonder at magical discovery and the marvelous landscapes of the fairy-tale world.
What it's about
A fairy-tale secondary world with magic, mythical creatures, and a whimsical heroic adventure structure. Three heroes on a quest through a fairy-tale world to overcome dangers and restore order.
How it plays
Jumping, navigating hazards, and traversing platforming challenges form the core moment-to-moment gameplay. Physics-based jigsaw puzzles that leverage gravity, momentum, and object manipulation are a defining feature. Solving puzzles woven into the world itself, using platforming and physics systems to progress.
How it looks and sounds
The game features beautiful, illustrated hand-drawn 2D artwork and animated characters in a stylized fairy-tale aesthetic. Environments showcase painterly, detailed backgrounds with a watercolor-influenced visual style. Rich, saturated colors and luminous fairy-tale scenery drive the visual appeal and charm.
How it's structured
Local split-screen cooperative play for up to three players is a core feature and major selling point of the experience. Online cooperative multiplayer for up to three players is explicitly featured and central to the design. The game progresses through discrete platforming and puzzle stages in a mostly fixed order, moving from one fairy-tale area to the next.
