One JRPG Switch fans will want to be on the lookout for next year is FuRyu's co-op action title Trinity Trigger.
As you might have already read, it's been developed by an all-star cast - with talent that's previously worked on games like Secret of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles and Octopath Traveler. The other good news is that it'll be getting a western release on the Switch in "early 2023".
The game is due out next week in Japan, and ahead of release - we've now got our first very first review score from the legendary Japanese publication Famitsu. It's awarded this new game 31/40. Here's how each reviewer on the panel rated it out of 10: 7/8/8/8.
In other words, it's definitely one to keep an eye on. Trinity Trigger aims to capture the feeling of a '90s action RPG, and will also support two other friends as you "hack and slash your way to the Gods".
If you really want to give it a go ahead of its western localisation, there's also a demo you can download from the Japanese eShop. Keep in mind, you'll need an account for this region.

About what I would expect. Grindy, but not offensive. Some of those points were likely via pedigree rather than being a fantastic game. At the end of the day it will likely be a fairly shallow and forgettable game that was fun to play through but ultimately unfulfilling and not at all groundbreaking.
But we'll see.
Pretty low for a Famitsu score so that doesn't bode particularly well. I'm just waiting till the English release is closer before looking into it and deciding if I want it though.
It looks cute and fun, but I'll wait for the Western reviews before deciding.
@Quarth Same here, I will wait for the reviews. An 8 would be perfectly fine by me for a game like this. As long as it's fun and enjoyable, I'm in.
Owff. For famitsu that's rough. I'll have my analyst check in on this one for me. I usually get them to test games and see if they match my play profiles.
looks like no on-line co-o... it's 2022 dev's.. how hard can it be?
I think it looks like fun. I am waiting for a physical release in Europe!
Listening to the music in the trailer, I was instantly reminded of Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana. Especially this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnVq0AINVCI and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gXQa__SUVc
Of course, it's the same composer so it makes sense.
I’m so torn by this. It’s incredibly generic, but the very best kind of generic that’s still very polished and attractive to look at.
It’s almost too clean, to the point it becomes uninteresting again. I wish there were more surprising elements in the overall presentation.
i do not expect too much of this game. it's this studios first game and the budget was likely small. lets hope it's successful and the next game has a higher quality. anyway I'm hyped playing this in Multiplayer:)
@Smug43 online Multiplayer is actually hard to do. It's their first game, the budget is rather small. RPGs in general, even small ones, are expansive to make. I also can't think of many indie RPGs with online Multiplayer.
@Sequel lol
People sure are reaching based on a 90-second video and one review of 31/40.
@Smug43 I for one am annoyed so many games don't have couch co-op along with online co-op. Glad to see some games still get couch co-op but this game (even though I'm a huge Secret/Trials of Mana fan) might be a bit too generic from what I've seen.
Obviously I know it's bad to judge on just a review score, but that screams average to me. Enjoyable but not outstanding. I'll wait for you guys to give me the full rundown before buying.
Game looks okay and I think the review speaks for itself, if you like a 2D Mana style RPG then this is for you. Those expecting triple a quality should look elsewhere.
Anyone know if the Japan version has english options?
@Baker1000 Famitsu doesn't actually review games. They only rate them, with each of the 4 judges providing a very brief explanation for their rating, usually just 1-2 sentences.
Remember "I Am Setsuna" and how much it promised to be the true Chrono Trigger successor? Turns out it sucked and no one remembers it.
