![]() While the general system, like move here, do that, hit this person, felt familiar there are some decent mechanics in play that mix up the formula too.Ĭharacters all have roles I had to remember to keep my health up, magic casting and tank damage strong. It is a turn-based strategy at heart here and there’s a deep combat system that is impressively delivered in the game. The game is also a strategy experience so when I wasn’t listening to the thousands of voice lines or reading the pages of documents, I was having fights on the battlefield between my team and another. The first few hours all happen like a whirlwind and it sets the pace for things to come and didn’t shy away from throwing me right into the action. In fact, it took me around 20 hours before the game reached a stable progression flow. This relied on paying attention and piecing together this convoluted continent’s history I also had to be fully invested in the game’s lore to understand why they didn’t want to look at things my way. This meant I had to speak to them and try and make them believe my decision was the right one. There are even opportunities in Triangle Strategy to try and sway a party member’s vote to your favour. It beats them just plodding along and accepting my choices even if they didn’t agree on it in the first place. In a way, this makes them feel much more believable. When decisions need to be made, these characters vote on what they believe is the right choice. The party members also have their own minds in the game. ![]() It also helps that mostly everything in the game is fully voiced, even if some of the voice acting is questionable at times. They are all well-rounded and pretty fleshed out. Triangle Strategy also features a handful of unique party members to get to know. However, the game also relies on reading documents to fully understand the continent and there’s a lot to digest in this game. As the Serenoa progresses through the game, I learnt a lot about Norzelia, the people and its past. For the most part, Triangle Strategy is also about a sense of discovery. Triangle Strategy is about diplomacy, conflict and of course, the people all involved in the looming war that could be brought on if things don’t settle down. That is until Serenoa Wolffort, the game’s protagonist gets wrapped up in a power struggle that threatens the peace on the continent. However, they signed a peace treaty and lived in harmony for a while. These three lands went to war over the land’s iron and resources. As most stories about countries go, this one is also about a war that took place over thirty years ago. Norzelia is made up of Glenbrook, Aesfrost and Hyzante. It tells an original of about three divided countries. Triangle Strategy is set in the land of Norzelia. ![]() Square Enix has clearly put the characters in the game in front of everything else and while I struggled to listen to them at times, they all offer some certain depth that made them relatable, if not lovable. Triangle Strategy also focused heavily on its world-building making decisions I made during the game affect the overall plot and also the character relationships. There’s little freedom here when it comes to the world and how you approach it but if you’re invested enough in what’s going on, I think you might just enjoy this game a lot. With Square Enix at the helm, Triangle Strategy also feels right at home for those who enjoy classic strategy games. Triangle Strategy is exactly what it says it is – a long, slow burner of a strategy game that is a mix of Final Fantasy tactics, bad voice acting and an overserious story all piled into one very long game. ![]()
