“Yes, something is not quite right... evil is here, Trollhunter. It is time to prove that you have got what it takes. You need to be stronger than ever if you are to defeat this Trickster.”
―Merlin to his champion, Jim, about the incoming danger

The game was released on September 25th, 2020.

Upgrade your armor and boost your abilities to become more powerful than ever. The fate of the universe is in your hands!

Rating Summary

This is an action-platform, based on the series Tales of Arcadia, in which players control time-travelers (Jim and Claire) as they collect coins/magical stones, unlock special abilities, and battle various enemies. From a side-scrolling perspective, players traverse platforms and use swords and projectiles to kill fantasy creatures (e.g., goblins, trolls, dragons). Combat is frenetic at times, highlighted by sword-slashing sounds and cries of pain. A handful of enemies use blaster-like weapons, and some boss characters shoot multiple magical projectiles across the screen in more protracted combat.

Plot

A year after defeating Gunmar and Morgana and putting an end to their the Eternal Night, Jim Lake Jr., now half-troll and turning seventeen, lives in the woods of New Jersey, playing games on his phone. He suddenly gets a call from his best friend, Toby Domzalski, asking if there's been anything unusual going on (more than the trolls and goblins). Jim admits it's been quiet, until his girlfriend, Claire Nuñez, calls for help against a Pirate Troll ambush. Jim rushes to her aid while she summons Toby to New Jersey. The trio are suddenly confronted by Porgon the Trickster Troll. They never heard of him, yet they get the strange feeling they've dealt with him before. Using a mysterious device, Porgon sends Jim through a portal before disappearing himself.

Jim suddenly finds himself back in Arcadia, shaken up but alright. he suddenly gets a call from the wizard, Merlin, who informs his champion that Porgon can travel through time and Jim is about a year into the past, about last summer before he became a half-troll. Spotting Porgon up ahead, Jim hangs up (not getting the chance to heed Merlin's warning) and chases after the Trickster Troll through town and into the sewers. Just when he had him cornered, Porgan disappears into a portal. Merlin then explains that Jim is trapped in a Time Loop, an alternative reality created through specific events. He tells Jim to remain in the past and return to Heartstone Trollmarket to talk to his mentor, Blinkous Galadrigal, and retrieve an ancient artifact he left for the younger Blinky a thousand years ago. Jim points out that Trollmarket was destroyed after the whole Eternal Night incident, yet Merlin reminds him that he's in the past, so it'll be the same place of activity as it used to be.

In Heartstone Trollmarket, Jim tries to talk to his friends, but they don't recognize him. Merlin explains that he's in the past, so he's supposed to still be human. Needing to change his appearance, Jim heads to Bagdwella's Fine Gifts to purchase a Glamour Mask, but he does not have enough coins. However, Bagdwella decides to give it to him for free. With the mask, Jim disguises himself as the first human Trollhunter again. Although he is destined to become half-troll, it is useful for him to appear human in the past. Jim proceeds to talk to Blinky about an "ancient artifact", which he discovers to be Merlin's Time Map, which he can use to travel to different Time Loops Porgon is creating.
