Troll And I first caught my eye with its huge dreadlocked troll. Then it kept my attention with a tiny Rasta-looking Link character. As it turns out, both characters need each other’s help to evade troll hunters and survive the harsh Scandinavian wildlands.
The first thing the developer told me was that one player could control both characters, or 2 people could play together on the same console. I was smiling from ear to ear. Most of the beginning was made up of Uncharted-esque climbing puzzles, with a few goblin fights sprinkled throughout.
Being able to switch characters at will allow you to crush and sweep enemies away, while Rasta-Link swung and brutally stabbed at them with his spear. On top of all that, there’s a looting / crafting system that allows you to build and customize your weapons for each encounter.
Troll magic is also somehow involved, but this pre-alpha demo didn’t get too deep into this mechanic. Also, did I mention couch co-op? Fuck yeah.
