You’ve chosen the practical path — the path of reason. With Prince Roland surrendered, Triangle Strategy ‘s story has taken a grim turn. Was this tense peace worth the decision? Well, that’s the beauty of role-playing games. The answer is yes, no, or anywhere in between, depending on where one’s own thoughts linger. Or maybe you’re just trying to complete every route and this melodramatic paragraph means little to you. Honestly, f
What is known is that Triangle Strategy is here and it has been doing great in reviews. It is a return to the classic formula, satisfying in almost every way. However, it’s seemingly impossible to release a game without any problems. These are just a few examples of the things this lengthy game gets right and wr
It has been a long time since Square Enix put out a strategy RPG on consoles like Triangle Strategy . It has been even longer since they have made a Final Fantasy Tactics game despite fan outcry. Will fans ever get a new one or even a re-release of one of the classics? The future is unknown but Square Enix is not shy about remasters and remak
It’s been a while since a big-budgeted tactical RPG launched on Switch. It’s as close to a sequel as Final Fantasy Tactics as fans are going to get for now. That’s not to say Triangle Strategy is an example of beggars can’t be choosers – far from it, actuaTaking 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, and more refined experience that cuts away so much of the needless chaff.
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 iteTriangle Strategy veers in unexpected directions like this all the time, likely encouraging repeat playthroughs or a naughty bit of save scumming in case a pivotal decision turns sour. I stuck to my guns even when it was clear I should have acted differently, making me curious to revisit certain moments and seek out alternate endings where those I love might have lived, or sacrifices to my people might have been avoided if I was more cautious. One battle involves setting braziers alight to keep enemies at bay, but as a result countless houses are burned to the ground. These belong to real people, and they will reside by the wreckage in later sections talking about what they’ve lost while bitterly accepting that it was for the greater good. Nice one, Serenoa.
Triangle Strategy suffers from the same thing that plagued Game of Thrones . There are a lot of characters with relationships to others, each presiding over distant lands. There are the three main kingdoms of Glenbrook, Aesfrost, and Hyzante, Xinyan’s Musical Mirage but then there are houses and factions within e

These are required to learn rank 2 weapon abilities. The silver you (hopefully) found in Chapter Seven, Part One’s exploration phase can be put to good use now to unlock a rank 2 weapon.

For those that want to enjoy the story but do not want to pay perfect attention, there is a button for that as well. Players can autoplay the dialogue. This negates the need to hit a button to skip to the next speech bubble every time. It’s been done in RPGs before, but it still deserves applause h
Serenoa and co. reach Wolffort Castle… and receive the bad news. And then some more bad news. And 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 NorzeWhile 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.
