Trine 2: Director’s Cut is essentially Trine 2 packaged with some DLC and a few other extras (more on this later.) It continues the story of the three heroes of the “Trine”, a mystical item that connects the three intrinsically and lets them work together as one. Amadeus the wizard can manipulate objects from afar and create objects out of thin air, Pontius the knight has brute strength and defensive capabilities, and Zoya the thief is nimble on her feet, can shoot arrows and has a grappling hook that helps her get to places the others cannot. The Trine as a story element is a pretty convenient MacGuffin, existing mostly to explain the gameplay, which revolves around switching between the three heroes on the fly to work together to navigate the terrain (3D graphics, 2D gameplay), defeat enemies and solve puzzles. You can play Trine 2: Director’s Cut single player, or through local or online co-op.
Andrew N from Negative World says: "It's not exactly a secret that, outside of Nintendo published titles, the "AAA" retail scene on the Wii U is basically dead. There are still a few 3rd party titles coming, and hopefully we will get a few gems, but the reality is pretty grim. That's not to say you can't get a lot of great 3rd party titles on the Wii U, because you sure can! You just need to check out the eShop, which has been getting a surprisingly solid amount of great titles, generally from indie developers, during the period retail has floundered. There are many great 3rd party Wii U eShop games to choose from, and here are my top ten."
Agree with the top 2.
Both are far better than most of the "AAA" games last year.
The amazing Trine 2: Directors Cut is now on sale on the Nintendo Wii U eShop.
a game that was made better by the gamepad. the wii u needs more of that. Trine 2, wind waker HD, need for speed, and deus ex have all benefited from the gamepad
This is a great game for anyone who wants some combat marshmallows mixed in with their puzzle cereal. It's worth nubuying on any system but the off TV play and controls make this better than any regular version. Buy this game!
best on PS4 but still good on wii u none the less... 1080/60 on the PS4 is evident vs the 720/30 on wii u..
Glacier928: "The Wii U has been out for over half a year now and we’ve seen some truly strong indie titles hit the platform, with many more to come. One of the launch indie titles was Trine 2: Director’s Cut (which was the enhanced and ultimate version of Trine 2) that graced the console day one. I had the opportunity to speak with Julius Fondem, the Marketing Manager over at Frozenbyte, about their experience developing for the Wii U, as well as a bit of info about their new upcoming game, Splot."
it may be a good console but it is not powerful, it is on par with xbox 360 maybe. not all about specs but this article is way off.
I try to tell all these fanboys this all the time....WiiU will compete in graphics..
Its sad that people ignore games like this on the Wii U.
