Trinity Fusion was provided by Angry Mob Games and Evolve PR for review. Thank you!
Trinity Fusion is a 2.5D roguelite action-platformer that takes place in a distant future. With the fate of the multiverse at stake, you (Maya) must work with your 3 other versions of yourself in their respective universes to bring them all together. Run through the worlds, picking up new, more powerful weapons and sub-weapons, defeat enemies in fast-paced combat, and upgrade yourself with permanent buffs whenever you die. Will you be able to save the multiverse from this calamity?
Trinity Fusion is a game that surprised me on multiple fronts and I was left overjoyed. I really liked the system to get more powerful weapons in your run, which consists of a power level that only goes up based on the amount of enemies you kill. The higher the level, the better weapons will drop. The combat can feel a bit like a slog after a little, but I never got tired of it. The levels are pretty to look at and procedurally generated, making each run different, and the 3 characters you control all have unique strengths and playstyles. The pros definitely outweigh the cons here, especially with the game in early access, and it’s one you’ll be able to enjoy on the Steam Deck.
I was lucky to actually talk to the devs and play Trinity Fusion at PAX East, and while I was there, I got to try the game on one of their Steam Decks and check out performance. After discussing the priorities and doing some tests at PAX, we felt 60 FPS should be the priority for this game to really enjoy it, and I completely agree!
For the most part, the game runs extremely well with a 60 FPS and the devs have taken great care in making sure it stays that way. There are some areas which drain more battery than it should, I’ve noticed a couple going up to 20W drain, but the majority keeps a stable 60 with around 11W-14W drain. The default settings works well in this regard and after testing, I decided to keep them the same.
Turning shadows on made the game drain a lot more battery and made some of the higher draining areas start to drop frames. I also put render resolution down to 95% as I felt this kept the game looking sharp, but did save a bit to make sure 60 FPS was held.
Trinity Fusion doesn’t support 16:10 resolutions, so you will see the black bars, but it does have cloud saves and full controller support!
So far, I love what Trinity Fusion is offering. The combat feels great, the weapons have variety, and I like the power level system where the more enemies you kill, the better weapons you’ll find. The worlds each have a unique aesthetic and the 3 different characters carry different play styles to change the way you play even further. I’m excited to see how it develops through early access and improvements to Steam Deck performance, but so far, I’d consider this a safe bet it’ll be one to enjoy.
