There’s a large cast of characters populating this story, many of whom have their own motivations and goals that pull at the larger narrative thread in interesting ways.
#Triangle strategy review full#
Triangle Strategy unfolds like a PG-13 version of Game of Thrones, full of political strife, betrayals, schemes, and large-scale conflicts. All of it comes together excellently- regardless of how much you actively choose to invest in learning more about the world of Triangle Strategy, it’s got more than enough to not only attract your attention, but to get you increasingly invested as the story progresses. There’s a lot that this game reveals about the histories and cultures of these three vastly different kingdoms, from an abundance of cutscenes and conversations to lore drops through logs and notes found in the game’s exploration sections. Triangle Strategy is set on the continent of Norzelia, where three ruling powers have sustained a fragile peace with each other since a devastating war three decades ago. That kind of commitment can easily go wrong if the things that a game is spending time on just aren’t interesting- thankfully, that isn’t the case here." "Instantly, Triangle Strategy makes it clear that it cares about its story, its characters, its world. That kind of commitment can easily go wrong if the things that a game is spending time on just aren’t interesting- thankfully, that isn’t the case here. Instantly, Triangle Strategy makes it clear that it cares about its story, its characters, its world. This is a game that takes its time to establish its world, the different factions within it, the unique cultures and ways of life of each of those factions, their histories of conflicts and alliances with each other.
Right off the bat, Triangle Strategy surprised me.
Similarly, while I was expecting to like Triangle Strategy’s turn-based tactics battles as a fan of the genre, I absolutely wasn’t expecting to be just as enraptured with its story, world, and surprisingly divergent choice and consequence mechanics.
I went in expecting a solid but unspectacular tactics RPG, not a game that would completely consume me and keep me thoroughly engaged for dozens of hours, which it turned out to be. When I say Triangle Strategy is far better than I thought it would be though, I’m not saying I went into it with low expectations. It’s a little hard to say a game is better than expected without sounding condescending.
