5 Underrated Nintendo Switch Games You Don’t Want To Miss Out On – SlashGear

“Trine” is a series of four games, the latest of which is “Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince.” All four are available on the Switch, and they’re usually pretty cheap, with sales occurring throughout the year. “Trine” is a 2.5D game, meaning that the characters and environments appear to be 3D, but the gameplay is mainly based on old-school side-scrolling. The third game transitions to 3D gameplay, but the fourth title brings it back to 2.5D.

If you enjoy fantasy, you’re almost bound to enjoy “Trine.” The story begins with three distinct characters — Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief (essentially a hunter type of character), who are brought together by a mystical artifact known as the Trine, thanks to which they all have their own skills and spells that they can use.

While skill is required to get through some of the more fast-paced levels, many of the challenges in “Trine” involve puzzles, and the way to solve them is to use each character’s unique abilities. For example, Amadeus can conjure boxes and platforms, making for interesting gameplay.

You can play “Trine” by yourself and switch between characters as needed — it’s hard, if not impossible, to complete the game with just one hero. The game has beautiful art, music, and a great sense of adventure that will make you binge it until you complete it.
