Trion Worlds announced that their voxel-box MMO Trove, will be coming to Xbox One and PS4 later this years. The charming MMO has been warmly received on PC and players have helped expand the game.
I played Trove last year when it was still in early development. There was a host of character classes, player home locations and different worlds to explore complete with dungeons. The character classes were outside the box which peaked my interest. There was a choice of Tomb Raiser, Bommeranger, Pirate Captain, Shadow hunter, Ice Sage, Candy Barbarian, Neon Ninja, Dracolyte, Fae trickster, Gunslinger and Knight. Each of these classes had their own style as well as weapon set. I remember selecting the Dracolyte which is a form of fire mage that has a small dragon companion. Except your ultimate ability is to turn into an actual dragon, so that had me sold right off the bat. You get a free token for a second class and I selected the Ice Sage. Apart from the Ice Sage being an under-powered class compared to the Dracolyte, the class still felt powerful.
I spent my time in Trove just leveling and exploring dungeons for rare loot. There wasn’t a great deal of missions and after the repetition of a few dungeons I stopped playing. But now, with the addition of new classes featuring the Lunar lancer and the Revenant. As well as the addition of more player made dungeons and customization options, Trove looks to make a strong contender on Consoles. It has the creativity of Minecraft with the dungeon battling of Neverwinter and best of all, it’s free-to-play.
Check out some footage from the PC game last year.
Be sure to tweet us @XBLGamerhub screenshots of what you build in the new Redwood. Follow me @MJSaiger, I’m hoping to start a private server over the summer.
