The game follows the heroes of Trine who “must reunite to push back a fearsome Clockwork army and bring peace and justice to the land!”
The character’s description via the publisher:
For now, meet Pontius the Knight, Protector of the Realm and also the biggest pie lover the land has ever seen! A real frontline hero who is always going head first into battle to protect his friends!
Your sword and shield will aid you on your journey—if you know how to use them! As a skilled knight and professional pie eater, Pontius can use his sword to fight off enemies, get rid of obstacles, and even use it as a platform to help him reach higher areas. The shield, not only made to protect, will come in handy to reflect light, skate across water, and even use as a glider!
Charge, smash, fight, and puzzle-solve your way through the dangers that await with your fellow adventurers. And should you need further help, the Prismatic Talisman will be your best friend—literally. Clones can be useful!
The game’s details:
Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy will take Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight on their most action-packed journey yet!
With their reputations tarnished, loved ones in danger, and their own magical powers at stake, the heroes of Trine must reunite to push back a fearsome Clockwork army and bring peace and justice to the land!
Traverse breathtaking 2.5D landscapes in Trine‘s deepest and visually richest chapter to date, with an all new cast of characters—some friends, some foes, but all unforgettable.
Whether by yourself or playing with up to three friends in online and local cooperative play, the upgraded puzzle difficulty system keeps things fresh, adapting the challenge to the number of players.
