RPGFan : Trinity Universe Review

Andrew Barker writes "All-in-all Trinity Universe swims the seas of mediocrity. Whilst it's not a bad game, it doesn't try very hard to appeal to a large audience. The dungeon crawling has its fun moments but is, more often and than not, a grind. Battles try a few new things but are ultimately dull button-mashers and the 3D graphics are a little rough on the eyes. The voice acting is appalling and ambient music repetitive. The story is boring and the script is a joke. It never takes itself seriously, which is not always a bad thing, but can be far too silly at times. The great 2D graphics are simply not enough to save this game from fading away into oblivion. It may appeal to diehard fans, but there's little here for anyone else to enjoy."

Lower than I expected. Still giving it a rental.

UNCyrus5056d ago

That's 10 points higher than they gave Cross-Edge... and I liked that game. So that means I'm definitely going to like this one!

I totally have a fanboy crush on all 日本一 (NIS) Games

Lifewish5056d ago

i do too.. starting my review for the game now so i hope to really enjoy it

Myst5056d ago

Second person to have liked Cross-Edge!

Quickstrike5055d ago

I also like Cross Edge, hell I liked it so much I got the platinum trophy in it =D

Redempteur5055d ago

this just means this is not a rpg for everyone ...it's a fan focused cross over rpg ... no way this game would be highter than 6,7 seeing as this is mostly fan service without any serious issue

ClownBelt5056d ago

Can't wait to pick this up. Just trying to plat Nier now.

N4GAddict5056d ago

It is coming this fall I think

Homicide5056d ago

I hope so too. I like the visuals for that game.

Godmars2905056d ago

A poor review from a source I trust... :(

despair5056d ago

yea they usually do good reviews, was hoping this game did better but will wait for more reviews.

Redempteur5055d ago

i also trust rpgfan ..but i have my own tastes

trinity universe is clearly a fan-cross over dongeon rpg ( it's obvious by the cover art ) so the point made like the unfocused plot are NOT an issue for me .
Same for voice acting ..i really believe the japanese track will clear this issue.

Seeing as the reviewer described the dongeon crawling as " quite fun" i have no regret in pre ordering ..

Myst5056d ago

This actually hurts me quite a bit...I was hyped to buy it and come here to see a score this low [reminds me of Cross Edge actually which I did buy and like]. I'll probably rent this one though being low on funds and such and see how it is.

Great K-Mart deal on Golden Sun there; Dragon Quest 9 @ 50% off is enticing.

is trinity universe that good? why did it only go down $10 and valkyria chronicles is like $20 NEW!!!

imoutofthecontest4903d ago

I dunno but in my book it's tough for any game to touch Valkyria Chronicles.

I'm guessing TU isn't dropping much because there probably aren't very many copies. Low demand, but even lower supply, perhaps?

2 reason to pick trinity universe :

- you enjoy nis humour ( see disgaea for exemple )
- you enjoy dongeon rpgs

Trinity universe is NOT a bad game and there is nothing broken about it besides the simple 3d graphics ..
