Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power

201562/100

Trine 3's shift to a fully 3D environment fundamentally altered its co-op puzzle-platforming. Its core appeal remained in the interplay between the three heroes: Pontius's brute strength, Zoya's nimble archery, and Amadeus's conjuration skills. Though the game's story and levels were more ambitious, the streamlined character progression and focus on physics-based challenges offered a distinct, albeit controversial, take on the series' formula.

About Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power

Details
Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief have slowly come to the conclusion that having their lives commandeered by a powerful magical artifact is not a desirable state of existence on a permanent basis. The heroes try to return their extraordinary gifts to the Artifact called Trine, and so they meddle with powers beyond their understanding. Trine shatters. With a literally heartless ancient sorcerer on the loose, and only a broken artifact to guide them, the heroes must try and repair the damage they've caused... or the damage that might yet be done.
