\"\"<\/a>A band of nasty animal pirates have ransacked a fox\u2019s home and stolen his remote control.\u00a0 But luckily this is one clever fox and must use skills from a warrior, mage, and engineer to take back his stuff!\u00a0 Mix and match various abilities to defeat enemies, bypass obstacles, and solve puzzles in this 3-D adventure.\u00a0 It also has a bit of a retro vibe as it feels like something that would\u2019ve been on the PS2.\u00a0 Trifox is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Your fox character can run and double jump, as well as dash both on the ground and in the air.\u00a0 Early on you\u2019ll adopt one of three skills: Warrior, Mage, or Engineer.\u00a0 As a warrior, you\u2019ll use a lot of close range attacks with a hammer, and can stun enemies with a slam, too.\u00a0 The Mage uses a lot of balanced magic attacks, and the engineer uses gadgets to defeat enemies and has a long range gatling gun.\u00a0 You\u2019ll use these skills to defeat enemies in worlds based on beach, lava caves, and ice, with a boss at the end of three levels each.\u00a0 There are also switch based puzzles to solve and secrets to discover.\u00a0 Between levels in the hub world, you can spend the coins you\u2019ve collected to unlock new skills for your classes.\u00a0 You can then assign four skills to each of the shoulder buttons, so you can mix and match to suit your preference.<\/p>\n

While I liked how you could mix and match skills, and the fact that this reminded me of a game I would\u2019ve played on the PS2, Trifox does have a few problems.\u00a0 They really don\u2019t do a very good job of letting you know you can mix and match moves, as it took me a couple of levels to figure that out on my own.\u00a0 And jumping controls are awful, but luckily the game seems to focus more on combat than platforming.\u00a0 Finally the game gets pretty hard about a third of the way through, even on the easy setting.\u00a0 It\u2019s still a good game, but the problems just kept me from staying interested all the way through.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trifox is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You can hit cartoony enemies with hammers, guns, and magic blasts, but they just get dizzy stars and fall down and disappear when defeated.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, and younger gamers may find it too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
