This is a series I never gotten into. I was never into side-scrollers (even though I’ve played my share, like Donkey Kong Country on the PSOne). But seeing how I’ve grown desperate to do nearly anything with this PS4 until I actually give it the purpose that I bought it, by buying GTA V, I’ll try anything once (as long as it’s free).
So this demo puts you in the shoes of three adventures; Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the rogue/hunter. They see this strange floating, glowing crystal called the Trine that is bringing them again on another glorious adventure.
Controls are pretty straight forward. Your X is jumping, L3 is moving around, and R2 with R3 is that class’ special ability. And when you get all three, L1 and R1 can cycle through the classes. It seems similar to The Lego Movie game’s style, that each class can only do their abilities. Except, the game believes you’ve learned the controls of all three classes by now. It doesn’t really “hold your hand” per se.
So overall, the game is fun. But I just don’t see myself buying it. Too much in the form of remembering what I’ve learned, and the strengths/weaknesses of the classes. Nice demo, though. Was worth the download.
