Trifox is a 3D action-adventure game developed by Glowfish Interactive and published by Big Sugar. In Trifox, you control Trifox and must use the three different abilities to fight your way through hordes of enemies and solve puzzles along the way.
Trifox Gameplay
Trifox can transform into a warrior, an engineer, or a mage, each with its own unique abilities. The warrior is strong and can deal a lot of damage, the engineer can build turrets and traps, and the mage can cast spells. Players can mix and match Trifox’s abilities and weapons to create their own unique playstyle. While this sounds great, sometimes it didn’t feel like switching was necessary, and it would have been nice for this to be further developed
The control style works perfectly for frantic combat and boss fights, but it can feel a little awkward in the platforming elements of the game. This makes some of the movement feel clunky and some of the platforming elements unnecessarily challenging.
It’s clear the focus of the game is the combat, but the platforming and puzzle experience is also an important element, and the puzzles can provide a challenge. At times, this may get frustrating but is overall a solid experience.
When it comes to combat, this is really where Trifox shines. There’s a lot of freedom in how you approach combat throughout the game; you can choose to use any of Trifox’s three transformations to vary your playstyle and find an approach that suits you. Combine this with fluid and responsive gameplay and combat is an enjoyable experience. The animations are particularly great. When it comes to foes, the variety on offer is fantastic, each with its own unique attacks and strategies, which means you do, on occasion, need to adapt your playstyle.
Graphics and Audio
The art in Trifox is wonderful and will draw you into the world with ease. With vibrant colours, unique models and a vibe that will remind you of classics like Banjo Kazooie and Crash Bandicoot, you’ll enjoy the spectacle unfolding in front of you.
A lot of care and attention has clearly been put into the game design and the world design. Specifically, the levels all feel unique and grow in complexity and scale as it progresses.
As far as sound design goes, Trifox does it well. From the sound of bullets to ricochet noises, the small sound effects of picking things up, and even the background music were all exceptionally done and integrated.
Final thoughts on Trifox
Trifox is a fun and challenging game that is sure to appeal to fans of action-adventure games. The game’s graphics are colourful, and the gameplay is fluid and responsive. Trifox is a great choice for players who are fans of the genre and want to try something unique.
