How exactly 4 players coop works?

[Fedoteh]

I've read something about the fourth player choosing an already picked character (like 2 magicians on the same game). Is it THAT AWFUL? Do we really get to invite a friend only to repeat a character? did I get wrong info?

There're two modes to play: classic (where each player controls 1 character, can't repeat) and unlimited (where each player can control any character, repeating them at the same time if desired. These choices were present in previous games.

If you play in classic mode, it's coop for 3 players (since there're 3 characters), but in unlimited mode, you can have 4 players.

The puzzles will change if playing in unlimited or classic from what I've heard.

And no, nothing awful about it.

Yes, this is correct. :) So in unlimited mode you can have multiple same characters if you want, for example 4 Zoyas.

Is this have possible to play with just 2 players in classic and unlimited? I'd like to get this game for me and my boyfriend.

Yes, it's no problem at all. In the case of classic there will be 1 "free" character either of you can switch to. You can also request to switch to the character the other person is currently playing as.

Can you consider adding a 4th character for next games? Playing 4 coop with different characters with different abilities would be neaaaaaat

At first I assumed the "secret puzzle" of the game would unlock Selius as a playable character, but then I realised it'd either make the puzzles trivial or repeatable abilities in some sense and wouldn't add much. Not to mention it wouldn't make sense as I noticed how the story unfolded.


Once you're done with all trines, you could then try other "similar" games that actually happen to have 4 characters. They're not as beautiful, engaging and polished as Trine, of course, and only have local co-op.
