Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight reunite when a Clockwork army threatens the land. Their reputations are damaged, loved ones are in danger, and their magical powers are at stake, giving this fantasy adventure a personal conflict alongside its fight to restore peace and justice. The journey unfolds across 2.5D landscapes, with new characters among its allies and adversaries.
The game combines puzzle-platforming with combat, including a new combat system and boss encounters. Its adaptive difficulty adjusts puzzle and combat challenges to the number of players, while a character-specific skill quest system lets players develop the heroes’ abilities and playstyles. Customisable outfits add another way to personalise the trio. Together, these systems frame the adventure around both cooperation and distinct hero roles, rather than treating its puzzles as isolated obstacles.
Trine 5 supports solo play as well as local and online co-op for up to four players.
