So, this is what Co-op looks like.

Though it's been warned that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, we couldn't help it with Trine. Luckily, those warnings that fell on deaf ears didn't apply anyway, because after some demonstrations at E3, it's been said the game is at least as fun as it looks. This is great news for gamers, because they game looks phenomenal. 1up got their hands on this baby for an in-depth crash course, and share some intimate details with us.

 

"The real blast, has to be the game's co-op multiplayer. Communication between players is essential, and you hear a lot of, "Put a box over here," "You need to swing on that," and, "Oh god, more skeletons!" However, you won't see three wizards running around, only one of each character is allowed on the battlefield at a time. It ups the strategy quite a bit, though it gives kind of an advantage to two players (instead of three). Two players can take turns using the thief to get up to some of the harder to reach places, or the wizard can act as an air-lift for the knight."

This looks like a perfect 2D fantasy co-op title. I'm really interested in seeing more varieties in combat, but if they keep it fast paced enough, this is a must-have for me (and hopefully others, so I can co-op with them...)!

dont forget this game is also coming out on xbox 360 (just read this on joystiq)!

I actually couldn't confirm that for sure - the developers website did not mention Xbox, Live, or Microsoft anywhere - if it is confirmed, we'll have a post just for that!

I hope it comes to 360...

I'm curious if it's even possible to play through the game solo. Not that anyone would want to given the choice, but that would be rather unique.

I've read in solo you can switch between the characters on the fly.

Would the other characters be on the screen? (As NPCs) There appear to be some areas that would be impossible for any of the characters to get past alone.

well, someone from joystiq saw it at the atlus booth, yes there is no tangible 360 version yet, but it going to the 360.

not surprised its not officialy on any publishers website yet. Also Nothing is wrong with announcing this on this forum...is it?

Not a problem, someone has been working on the story actually trying to get some more details if possible.
