If a character dies, the other players can revive the character at the next checkpoint. Two players can switch characters as long as both agree to the swap. In this mode, each player controls one of the three characters, but all must be unique three players will be forced to play as Amadeus, Zoya, and Pontius. Trine 2 also supports up to three players in a cooperative mode. These skill points can be used collectively for each of the three characters, and can be traded between them. Throughout the game world are special magical vials, and for every fifty of these collected, the player receives a skill point, which can be used to gain abilities through a skill tree for each character. If all three characters lose their life meter, the player must start back at the last checkpoint. A combination of these elements is necessary to complete each stage in the game's world.Ĭharacters have individual life meters, and if one character's meter depletes, that character cannot be used until the next checkpoint is reached.
Each of the characters has unique abilities: Amadeus can use magic to grab onto certain objects in the game world, and create boxes and planks to be used to get around Zoya can strike at objects with her arrows, and grapple onto certain surfaces and Pontius is strong in combat against foes, can bash apart walls, and deflect projectiles with his shield. As with the first game, the mystical "Trine" has bound the three characters together into one common entity, and thus the player controls only one character which can be switched to the other two at any time. Trine 2 is a puzzle-platform game, requiring the player to use the skills of the three characters, Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight, to navigate each game level.

If you find yourself truly baffled, having Miiverse at your fingertips is very handy, and you can post screenshots of the puzzle you are stuck on and request help from the community.This section does not cite any sources. A perfect example of this is that there is a puzzle very early in the game where I made fruitless attempts to levitate or destroy a boulder blocking the path only to discover that this “boulder” was actually a giant snail, and it moved only when a certain action was performed (hint – use Zoya!!). I often found myself stumped at times where I just sat and paused, looking at the screen, wondering what the heck to do after trying just about everything. They are physics based and use such things as water, fire, gravity and magic but thankfully there are a number of ways to solve each one depending on what character you are using and what skills are available to you. The puzzles in Trine 2 are quite challenging, and even downright frustrating at times. It’s not a gamebreaker by any means, just something I noticed seemed out of played on the GamePad. When your character is hit, the GamePad rumbles, and I found that this can be rather annoying. Each character has a life meter, which once depleted will render the character lifeless until the next checkpoint. This is done with a simple touch on the character portrait found on the GamePad or by using the shoulder button. I often found myself using the Amadeus the wizard, as he was quite fun to play as using the Wii U GamePad however, you will need to switch characters to complete the many puzzles in game. A great thing about the skill trees for each characters is that skill points can be reset at any time, and you can give points to another character as needed. Attempts to conjure another will cause the first one to disappear, but after upgrading he can eventually conjure up to four items at the same time. For example, Amadeus the wizard starts with the ability to conjure only one item. There are a total of five different skills to learn for each character. Skills for each character can be upgraded via experience points found in collectables throughout the game. Finally, Zoya deftly zips to platforms with her grappling hook and can shoot down ropes and vines with her bow and arrow the latter can be done with a swipe of the stylus. Pontius uses his brute strength to bust through objectives and he uses his mighty sword against the hordes of goblins. Amadeus can levitate items and monsters out of the way, as well as being able to conjure up blocks and platforms. When first starting the game you are introduced to the three main characters and their abilities.
