    Trinity Universe is a good choice for RPG fans who don't mind a heavy dose of humor in their games, and it'll keep you entertained for quite a while.

    It's just underwhelming.

    Trinity Universe is a solid, if rather repetitive, JRPG with 2 separate story lines and a cast of wonderful... and annoying characters. You spend most of you're time walking around dungeons beating up monsters to some very catchy music, the dungeons themselves are like any IF game in that they are bland and made up solely of corridors and square rooms. The graphics are a mixed bag with some decent texture work and polygons but theres a lot of repetition in backrounds and enemies and party members look like there made of wax for some reason. Unfortunately some of this game is plain lazy, most enemies are taken straight from Cross Edge or Agarest, many of the enviromental objects aswell, and there is a lack of variation in enviroments. While this games music is top notch, very funky, the voice acting is hit or miss... largely miss especially the english dud, although Etna stands out as particulary strong. The battles are 3 vs 3(usually) turn based (sort off) in that you press buttons to correspond to different attack types, square for light, triangle for magic and x for heavy and you can combine combos through multiple characters for big damage and high multipliers. The battle system is fun but it gets old quick, as in 5 hours in the 15 hour story (there are 2 plus an end game so you get a good 30-40 hours) you will basically know all there is to know about it and have nothing to strive for. That said the story itself is ok, nothing as clever or humorous as Hyper D but far better than Cross Edge, it notably suffers from 1 too many tedious characters, particulary the young males. I wont spoil the story but its largely there just to give you an excuse to go through dozens of repetitive dungeons, theres a dolip of humour too which did make me smile every so often. Aside from 2 stories there are optional dungeons to tackle, over 100 gallery artworks to unlock, which are often done using super-deformed characters, synthesis and monster creating, optional events to watch aswell as a lot of customisation from weapon skins to meteorites (which increase you're characters stats) Theres also a lot of DLC avaliable for TU (at least here in the UK) but its very expensive for what it is, usually £2 for 5 weapons and the like, all the DLC combined could easily cost more than the game itself and it adds rather little to an already easy game. All in all this is a fun little JRPG with plenty of content but it does outstay its welcome through excessive repetition and there are cerntainly better anime JRPGs out there.… Expand
