A wise ruler employs some measure of each of these aspects in their decision-making. The liberty to represent one’s individuality within a kingdom; the morality to do what is right and refrain from what isn’t; and the utility to take advantage of everything one can in order to further their people’s happin
Triangle Strategy gets more and more serious as the chapters pass, and this chapter is no exception. While this part of the chapter has no combat, you will be fighting within yourself when trying to decide what to do: should you protect Roland and face a powerful army, or surrender him to Aesfrost in favor of pe
The Mean Twins arrive at the throne room to congratulate their Less Mean But Still Mean Brother, and a sniveling Patriatte makes an appearance. And after that… some Game of Thrones-style flavor events will unf
What the XCOM series did so well, particularly in the later games, was to reimagine classic RTS elements and provide a fresh take on them. When the series was later rebooted with entries like XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2 , the games still felt authentic to the franchise and genre. However, they offered new and exciting aspects to the gameplay that impressed players and critics alike. Gameplay was streamlined and simplified, but the games as a whole still felt enjoyably complex and required a very considered and methodical appro
Use Quietuses and secure spoils in battle. Also, in a bit of a dark twist from the Morality guidelines, you’ll gain Utility points by winning objective-driven fights but still killing every enemy. (Example: The ‘Take Back the Boat’ mental mock battle merely requires you to have at least one unit occupy the boat on a turn when zero foes are doing so; that’ll let you win, and earn Morality points, but slay everyone first for Utility poin
The easiest way to get them is through merchants. Always buy as much as possible without breaking the bank. Mock battles won’t earn much money or materials, but every little bit counts. Also, materials will replenish in shops over time. There are some later mock battles that increase money drops, but overall, players have to be wise about spending cash and materi
Serenoa and co. reach Wolffort Castle… and receive the bad news. And then some more bad news. And tournament rewards then yet another piece of bad news. It just isn’t going well for our heroes, is it? It’s a bad day to be a father/father figure in Norze
Triangle Strategy was criticized pre-launch for sticking to its bizarre title, but at least it owns it. Everything about the game, thematically, seems to revolve around the form of a triangle to some extent or another. In the case of the Conviction system, that’s plain as day with Liberty, Morality, and Util
With the responsibility of running a base combined with the top-down, turn-based combat of engaging in missions with a team of troopers, the XCOM games provided the overview-style of an RTS with the thrill and pace of more action-focused excursions. The upcoming Star Wars game would do well to incorporate a similar structure, giving players multiple aspects to focus on and engage w
Before you attempt to sway people to your side, remember that this is also something of an exploration event. Chat to the Concierge manning the door and you can explore the Wolffort Streets to pick up crucial information and useful ite
Positioning is very important in a strategy RPG . Triangle Strategy has more reasons to be wary of troop placement, because units can help take down enemies. For example, let’s say Serenoa is stationed directly behind an enemy, and then Frederica attacks from the front. This will create a linked attack. This only works with physical attacks though. To bring up Frederica again, as a mage, she uses spells like f

HIgh Conviction scores also influence the arrival of new playable characters via Character Stories . Starting around the fourth chapter or so, Character Stories will be accessible by pressing the ‘+’ button while on the field map. Some Character Stories further develop important cast members in fun ways, and those will typically pop up per how often you use a given character in battles.

The most important and time-consuming part of Triangle Strategy is the narrative. While the story is rich and interesting, with characters that are easy to become attached to, players will spend more time thumbing through text-based dialogue and voice-acted scenes than exploring or engaging in combat. While players will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the story through responses made by Serenoa in certain situations, these moments are also spread out between lengthy character conversations, creating slow progression. Players may also need to open character profiles often, using the “X” button while they are actively talking, to keep track of the numerous characters involved in the st
