You play as Serenoa Wollfort, a young lord who is forced into the leadership of his house after his father falls ill. The opening hours depict the Kingdom of Norzelia as one of peace, with all three nations entering a period of tranquillity that is slowly but surely being bolstered with trade agreements and communal excavation efforts that will benefit everyone. Serenoa hails from Glenbrook, a region defined by its honour and co-operation, caught in between a duo of superpowers with more influence than it could ever imagine. The snowy plains of Aesfrost awaits in the North, its icy climate reflective of the harsh political machinations that underpin its nefarious monarchy. They are basically anime tories.Taking clear inspiration from the likes of Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, Triangle Strategy is an achingly faithful homage to classic genre conventions that can often feel too retro for its own good. However, this faithfulness is complemented by myriad innovation and creative mechanics that help it shine. Combine that with excellent characters and an unexpectedly poignant narrative and you’ve got one of 2022’s biggest surprises. After being somewhat underwhelmed by Octopath Traveller, the team behind it has returned with a tighter, punchier, Monopoly Go Event and more refined experience that cuts away so much of the needless chaff.
In Triangle Strategy, there will be multiple events that require you to make a decision using the Scales of Conviction . This involves a vote held amongst seven of your allies, who each get a say in the matWhile the characters are little more than a mess of adorable pixels and many environments deliberately resemble handcrafted dioramas, there’s an element of realism in how this game expresses loss and sacrifice amidst conflict, often placing harsh decisions on our shoulders and expecting us to reach an ultimatum that will never satisfy everyone. You will make mistakes as a ruler, forced to leave loved ones or citizens to die in the face of progress or knowing that the war ahead will see further blood spilt if we aren’t prepared.
Units have a greater sense of individuality in Triangle Strategy compared to in the Fire Emblem series, partly due to its mechanics regarding unit death. In the Fire Emblem series, from Three Houses to Shadow Dragon , units whose HP reach 0 can never battle again. Most are considered dead, while others who are more relevant to the plot are said to have sustained injuries that don’t allow them to battle anymore. The only exceptions are the main characters, who if they die the player gets a game over and must replay the entire map ag
The Fire Emblem series hasn’t utilized the direction units face as a game mechanic, although other strategy RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics do. Triangle Strategy takes after Final Fantasy Tactics by including unit direction – where players place their units is always going to be important in both Fire Emblem and Triangle Strategy , but players will have to also consider the direction their unit faces in the latter. Whenever a unit is hit from behind, they’ll take a critical hit – something players want to protect their units from and utilize when they see an enemy open
In this chapter, the vote concerns whether Serenoa goes on a diplomatic visit to Aesfrost or Hyzante. This will dictate the second half of this chapter, which involves a battle and a mutually exclusive character to recru
On the other hand, Triangle Strategy ’s marketing boasts “over 20 playable characters,” significantly less than even the smallest Fire Emblem cast. But sometimes less is more, as Fire Emblem ** ’s large casts are notorious for having numerous characters who have very little relevance to the story at large. Triangle Strategy ** ’s smaller cast comes with the benefit of more individuality in terms of gameplay as well as greater potential for narrative releva
With Triangle Strategy ’s game mechanics , however, players can not only take advantage of elevation, but they can interact a lot more with the map itself. Certain spells and items can turn tiles wet, which can then conduct electricity. Some tiles can be set ablaze, and wind-based skills can spread the fire further. Any character can take advantage of these terrain interactions, either through their spells or with items, unlike in Fates where only royal characters could interact with Dragon Ve

Although units “dying” in video games is common, and they can be revived, the death in Fire Emblem has been dubbed “permadeath” due to its permanent nature, and has affected the gameplay in other subtle ways. Critical hits – especially when the player is on the receiving end – become more frightening, and “meat shielding” is a much less viable strategy. Newer Fire Emblem games, starting with New Mystery in Japan and Awakening worldwide, include a “casual” mode that allows players to turn off the permadeath, but the feature still exists on “classic” mode and affects how the game is balan
