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.
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 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.
