Combat in Triangle Strategy is similar to the battle mechanics of Fire Emblem , with players possessing control over multiple characters on a grid-based battlefield. There are three main phases of battle: pre-preparation, movement, and action phases. During preparation, players will have the ability to move their units around limited portions of the map, and change the directions they may be facing. The movement phase allows players to move the active character to different areas on the map, and the action phase is for attack

Serenoa's entourage arrives in the Falkes Demense, prompting the Lord of Wolffort to search his surroundings for a strategy with which to approach Landroi. Expect numerous Conviction boost opportunities as well as the chance to procure more items and useful informat

Anna will agree with this path if you have 'Defying the Holy One' in your inventory. You'll have either received this from Chapter 8's Exploration Phase, or you won't have; it depends on which location your version of the chapter is set wit

No new mental mock battles appear just yet, nor has the merchant restocked his wares. Stay on top of your Character Stories, though. You may still have several optional recruits to bring into the Wolffort f

This is the very definition of an uphill battle. The lifts will help even the odds, but this is still going to be a tough one. Your desperate former allies are willing to do whatever it takes to stop Serenoa, including setting their fields abl

Remember to make regular use of your Encampment. If you've not given it a glance yet in this chapter, you'll find that the merchant's got some new wares in stock including the first appearance of Quality-level materials. 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. We recommend you use this first one on Serenoa, but there's no wrong ans

The primary story of Triangle Strategy follows the young lord Serenoa Wolffort as he takes over the noble house of Wolffort and accepts his betrothal to Frederica Aesfrost. Serenoa must act as the mediator between three lands, the Kingdom of Glenbrook, the Grand Dutchy of Aesfrost, and the Holy State of Hyzante, which were all once at war, but now enjoying a fragile time of peace. The three lands have come together to open a mine that will help each area flourish, but tension remains high, with many eager for an excuse to return to confl

As a result, it's important to pay attention during this chapter. There are two exploration events and a battle to contend with, so there are plenty of items and tidbits of info to miss. But don't worry, you're in safe hands with

Regardless of the route you picked in Chapter Three, Triangle Strategy's story reconvenes for this chapter. This chapter is an interesting one, giving you some glimpses of the Grand Norzelian Mines and the living situation of the Rosellan peoples in Glenbr

Dragan sure seemed shift at Roland's arrival, didn't he? After a short scene, you'll receive The Power of Salt added to your Notes and get a chance to explore a small area of the mines. As ever, this comes with some things to pick

While those who like story-based games or visual novel-style gameplay may enjoy the events offered in Triangle Strategy, those interested in fast combat, exploration, and classic RPG mechanics may become frustrated with the amount of dialogue that is required to move forward. Additionally, areas outside the main storyline aren't available until several chapters into the game, requiring players to grind through the narrative portions with minimal bre

In this event, Serenoa takes Frederica to a Rosellan Village within Glenbrook's borders to ask them to make a dress for their wedding. While Frederica is having her measurements taken, Golden Apple Archipelago Serenoa is prompted to take a look around the village. This is an exploration event with lots of interesting lore to pick up from the Rosellans, but also a few to grab,

The most important and time-consuming part of Triangle Strategy is the narrative. While the story is rich and interesting, with characters that are easy to become attached to, players will spend more time thumbing through text-based dialogue and voice-acted scenes than exploring or engaging in combat. While players will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the story through responses made by Serenoa in certain situations, these moments are also spread out between lengthy character conversations, creating slow progression. Players may also need to open character profiles often, using the "X" button while they are actively talking, to keep track of the numerous characters involved in the st

Triangle Strategy is an excellent game that expertly combines satisfying combat and a layered narrative to create something I didn’t know I needed. Serenoa Wollfort’s journey is punctuated with intrigue, betrayal, and triumph that are all driven by player decisions that actually feel like they matter. It isn’t smoke and mirrors on a moral railroad presenting the illusion of choice, it's a ride or die political rollercoaster where failing to convince a single ally will result in the untimely deaths of thousands.
