Our Thoughts On Trollhunters Defenders of Arcadia
Viggo age 7 was given early access to the game, it was so nice to be able to find a game that was suitable for the slightly younger age group, and as soon as I downloaded it, he was eager to give it a go.
The first thing he shouted to tell me was that he no longer needed Eowyn his 11 year old sister to sit with him as the writing that game up on screen was read out, so he knew what he had to do and where he had to go without struggling to read some of the bigger words, which is something he has trouble with on a few games lately, there’s been lots of text on the screen but some of the unfamiliar words were a struggle and he would get slightly frustrated that he didn’t fully understand the instructions. With this game it talks you through everything and tells you what you need to do.
Viggo very quickly managed to work out each of the controls and what they did, and he happily ran through the various screens collecting the stinky socks (I am sure it will become apparent why he needs them later in the game) and the scrolls and gnomes. He very quickly got the hang of hitting and destroying the various enemies and monsters that came at him.
He is quite animated when he plays games so it was lovely to watch him jumping around and the occasional “Take that shiny monkey” or “You have been defeated big grass monster!”
He is onto the second level and he even asked me as he went out the door to school today, could he play on it when he gets home, which is a sure sign that he is enjoying playing it!
he has also requested to watch the Trollhunters TV Show on Netflix, to get a better understanding of the character he is playing as.
Have you watched the show and do you have a Trollhunters Fan that would love this game ?
