How co-op works
Up to four players share local or online co-op, with a three-hero Classic mode and four-player Unlimited mode. Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya combine conjuring, shields, combat, arrows, and grappling while physics puzzles adjust their challenge to the party size.
About this game
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince brings the beloved fantasy puzzle-platformer series back to its 2.5D roots. Three unique heroes combine their abilities to navigate enchanted landscapes, solve elaborate physics puzzles, and battle nightmares born from a troubled prince's mind. This is true cooperative play where each character's skillset matters.

The wizard conjures objects, the knight bashes and shields, and the thief swings and shoots arrows. Every puzzle invites creative teamwork as players experiment with overlapping abilities to cross chasms, redirect light, and manipulate the environment. Communication keeps the group in sync, especially when combat and platforming converge.
Trine 4 supports both online co-op and local couch sessions, including split-screen and single-screen play depending on the puzzle layout. The fairytale atmosphere and layered challenges reward groups who think aloud and experiment together, making it ideal for patient, puzzle-loving teams.
