We care deeply about a game’s design, world-building, character arcs, and storytelling come together. INVERSE VIDEO GAME REVIEW ETHOS: Every Inverse video game review answers two questions: Is this game worth your time? Are you getting what you pay for? We have no tolerance for endless fetch quests, clunky mechanics, or bugs that dilute the experience. Trinity Trigger is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. It’s a fun detour for anyone looking for a quick RPG to devour in a weekend, but you’ll probably want to wait for a sale. Trinity Trigger is only about 15 to 18 hours long, not an 80-plus hour journey like Xenoblade Chronicles. The trope-filled story offers plenty of familiar beats, and the campaign is over before you know it. Trinity Trigger has a passable plot, but not one that stands out among the many fantasy RPGs out there. I wish the main trio had more depth to keep me invested in their stories. Cyan accepts basically anything strangers tell him without question, Zantis just wants to laugh and drink, and Elise reigns in the both of them as a smart but stubborn female lead.
Many of the characters have one-dimensional personalities. The plot vaguely plays with themes of good versus evil, but it never ultimately challenges the player to feel passionately one way or the other. It’s just a shounen hero finding out about his past and journeying with his newfound friends to save the world. If you’re looking for a game story that offers a serious critique of morality or anything else of higher meaning, Trinity Trigger isn’t it. Trinity Trigger will occasionally treat you to a pretty hand-drawn cutscene that looks straight out of an anime. I needed to swap between characters, not just to use different weapons and activate their special abilities, but to also make sure they didn’t become boss fodder. While your automated characters will try to avoid damage from most normal enemy attacks, your teammates will sometimes walk straight into traps or get pinned in a corner by enemies. It never felt like a significant enough detour to interrupt my flow, and gave me the option to pause whenever I needed to strategize.Īnd you’ll need to stategize, because Trinity Trigger’s combat AI isn’t great. Swapping between party members during battle felt fluid and natural, even though I needed to dig through some menus to use potions and antidotes. I also never had an issue with variety, considering Elise and Vantis either joined the party with or quickly picked up weapons that Cyan couldn’t use. I naturally racked up enough Trigger Points (TP) to level up my weapons, so I never needed to grind for more. You only really need one team member to master a specific weapon, even though you can technically max out the same weapon for all three. I collected weapons purely to satisfy my completionist urges, but ultimately found out I didn’t really need all of them. By the end of the game, I had nearly all the weapons for each character besides one or two.Įxploring every inch of the town is an important task for anyone who wants to find all the chests in the game. The side quests were typically quick and easy to complete, so I took the extra time to collect as many as I could. Some of them are hidden in side quests, but collecting all the weapons is optional. You’ll explore Armas, the game’s version of dungeons, to unlock new weapons for your characters. There are many moving parts to the combat system, and you’ll have to balance stamina, gear, and each character’s unique skill tree. For example, in a battle against a monster that’s weak against bows, you might want to equip Elise and Cyan with bows and equip gear that increases their stamina. The combat system challenges players to choose the most optimal weapons for a particular fight and build a kit that complements those weapons. You can also switch between any of the weapons and the power-ups associated with them.
Trinity Trigger’s main gimmick is the three playable characters that you can switch between at will: Cyan, Elise, and Vantis.
#Trinity trigger switch upgrade
Triggers like Flamme can transform into other weapons if you upgrade them with Altars in the game’s many dungeons.
