Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a combination of a platformer and a puzzle game, as well as a new installment in a series developed by Frozenbyte since 2009. The game features plenty of humor, colorful 2.5D visuals and an atmospheric soundtrack.

Plot

The game is set in a fantasy world inspired by medieval times. Once again, it tells the story of three heroes tasked with saving the land. Pontius the Knight, Amadeus the Wizard and Zoya the Thief join forces to deal with a mechanical army and stop a mysterious conspiracy from creating a new kingdom, one with no place for magic or heroes.

Mechanics

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy features twenty colorful locations, such as fabled forests, palaces, mines, sky platforms or underwater buildings. We'll face new, mechanical enemies such as knights, monsters and clockwork bosses. During combat and exploration we'll have plenty of opportunities to use our heroes' special abilities, between whom we can freely switch.

Pontius is great in direct combat, can use his shield to reflect rays of light or stick his sword into walls to make it a springboard. Amadeus can lift objects or create magical chests and bridges. Zoya fights from a distance with her bow, but can also open the way to inaccessible places with her grappling hook.

Over time, our heroes gain experience, letting us develop their skills or purchase new ones. We can thus improve the wizard's range or equip our thief with ice arrows to freeze parts of the environment, making exploration and puzzles easier.

Game modes

Just like in the series' previous installments, the campaign of Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy can be completed in singleplayer and co-op for up to three people, on shared screen or online. The developers have adjusted the puzzles' difficulty to the number of players.
