About TRAPT
Equal parts action and strategy, TRAPT features a unique system that lets players set a variety of traps throughout each level to create intense combinations that burn, maim, skewer, electrocute, fling, confuse, pulverize and eventually obliterate Princess Allura’s attackers. Framed for her father’s murder, Allura runs from avengers to discover she has been cursed by the devil with the ability to set a growing arsenal of deadly traps with which
to defend herself. Players unlock hidden areas and more gruesome traps as they progress throughout the game, creating a nearly endless combination of traps that makes each player’s experience unique. In addition to room-specific environmental traps and Allura’s own stockpile of handheld traps, some rooms are host to complex, over-the-top Dark Illusions that, once unleashed, wreak havoc on Allura’s enemies with unparalleled style and exacting cruelty.
