Steam is now offering
digital distribution of
Trine, Frozenbyte's action/platformer with a
fantasy theme.
Update: This story initially described the price listed as
$19.99, but it is now $29.99, as apparently the lower price
was an error
which was quickly corrected. Anyway, a
playable Trine demo was
released last week for your tryin' Trine pleasure, and here is a general
overview of the game:
Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can
create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening
enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are
bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom
from evil…
The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different
abilities help the player battle an army of undead and defeat hazardous
contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited
for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to
help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her
agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Knight
unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.
