Triangle Strategy is a huge, sprawling RPG with a ton of content. While it starts off on the easier side, the difficulty ramps up quickly and you’re forced to think hard about what kind of strategies you want to employ in bat
Upon their arrival in Hyzante, Serenoa’s entourage is reminded rather brusquely of the Hyzantian distaste toward Frederica and all other Roselle. Moments later, the group meets with the hierophant, who speaks through Minister Idore and poses a quest
Triangle 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.
After taking part in your first momentous vote in Triangle Strategy , you will be taken to either the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost or the Holy State of Hyzante. With the former route, Serenoa and co. get to see the chilly north for the first time in the game and meet Archduke Gustadolph. With a large exploration Monopoly Go event and a pretty difficult battle to contend with, this route can be a challenge. Luckily, it also comes with a nice reward – the ex-salt smuggler Rudolph, who makes for a fine addition to the team. More Walkthroug
Today, you’ll be exploring the outside of Castle Wolffort intending to locate Lord Dragan. You can talk to him without ending the exploration – you don’t actually have to talk to him at all to progress – you can only end the event by pressing the Plus butt
Having agreed to help Sycras with the sting operation, you now have all of Central Aesfrost to explore. As always, there are items and tidbits of info to pick up , and a few conversations that lead to Conviction boosts – the NPCs that give these have exclamation marks above th
As the player, you have a chance to sway the vote to whichever outcome you desire using dialogue choices, and possible Information gathered in past chapters. Whether or not you are successful in convincing a character to your side depends on a few thi
With an enemy force of 12 units, you sure have your work cut out for you. To balance the scales, you’ll also have Rudolph and Sycrus on your side . Rudolph is an archer like Hughette, but prefers to get closer to his targets. Sycrus is a beefy Staffwielder with the Cheer ability, which grants them TP and buffs their strength for a few tu
During the short cutscene, you will be given a prompt and you have three choices for how to answer. This is part of the game’s Conviction system . As you play the game, Serenoa will develop his Convictions for three different philosophies: Utility, Morality, and Liber
Triangle Strategy is filled with compelling characters all boasting worthwhile stories to tell, many of which are woven into the main narrative with surprisingly delicacy. I cared about all of them, worried that death would greet them early or my own hasty decisions might put them in danger. Player choice sits at the forefront of Triangle Strategy, with the majority of larger battles being preceded by a visit to the Scales of Conviction. Instead of conferring with a larger government body or his citizens, Serenoa gives a few coins to his mates and they throw them into a set of scales before deciding how to approach war.
This is also the first exploration event that you’ll experience that features a merchant . These offer time-limited shops that may sometimes offer exclusive items. If you want something and do not currently have the Coins for it, you can partake in Mental Mock Battles in the Encampment to earn some. This can be done even during an exploration ev
Thankfully the narrative strength pulled me through despite some awkward performances, and away from the main campaign sits a number of Character Stories which are designed both to expand upon existing allies while pulling new ones into the fold. Never ignore these, because not only are they absolutely precious in their execution, but doing so would overlook characters each with distinct mechanics and designs that all shine equally. It’s also a dose of much-needed variety in an experience that sticks by conventions a little too much for my liking.
Once the battle is over, revel in your victory and watch the following scenes. Unfortunately, you don’t get to control the battle against the Dawnspear – but it’s probably for the best. Oh, well. At least that is chapter two of Triangle Strategy compl
