Enemy encounters are different though in two ways. In fact you can keep them selected and just return to using them once they revive. While that last point is still true, losing a character outside of an enemy encounter will only make them unavailable for a few moments. Further more you’d have to find health potions (and mana potions for a couple games) to restore your health and you couldn’t revive any lost characters until you reached a checkpoint, while losing all three characters meant you’d go back to the last checkpoint. Here you have no mana meter and can perform your abilities as often as you wish. For instance, in the past you had a mana bar for each character to perform certain abilities such as Amadeus creating boxes. On a quick personal note, I’ve only played the original game and have looked up footage of the third so I do have something to compare this outing to in terms of changes. If you’re familiar with the previous games there are some differences this time around. While there are a couple of obstacles that can damage you, most of the obstacles that can harm you will kill you outright. When the health bar runs out that character will be unavailable for a few moments unless you’re in an enemy encounter. Each of the three characters can be switched between at any time and each has their own health bar. Each level is filled with puzzles to solve using the different abilities of each hero and the occasional fight with some of the nightmarish enemies. The game takes place across five acts with three to four levels in each. Along the way, the prince begins to conjure up nightmarish creatures that the heroes must contend with, some of them possibly being from their own nightmares. In Trine 4 Prince Selius has run off from the Academy and Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight are tasked with retrieving the young prince.

Now a little over ten years from the release of the first game in the series we have Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, but can the fourth installment achieve the same success as the prior games? Over the next several years two sequels were created that changed around a couple of the game’s mechanics and Trine 3 added in some 3D exploration. Together they had to save the Astral Academy from an undead menace. The Trine binds their souls together and now only one of them can exist at a time, the other two being trapped in the Trine. July 2009 saw the launch of the first game in the Trine series, a game about a wizard, a thief, and a knight who touch a magical artifact called the Trine and they all disappear.
