Until I complete the game, here are my impressions to give you an idea of what it has to offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of strategy\/RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, you\u2019ll feel right at home with Triangle Strategy. As you play, you build up an army of different units with classes to help you fight in grid-based battles, where positioning and flanking are key. Elevation matters greatly, as attacking from a higher point than your enemy can give you great leverage in damage dealt and keeping yourself safe. I enjoy looking for optimal places to put my units on the battlefield, but even more so learning the ins and outs of the unique characters at my disposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/triangle-strategy-review-in-progress-1.jpg\" alt=\"Triangle Strategy\" title=\"Triangle Strategy\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>You get a good variety of combatants with unique abilities. For instance, I have a character that can throw out a decoy to attract attention and absorb damage, while another can set traps that knock baddies off ledges for extra fall damage. There\u2019s also great delight in watching your team level up, learn new abilities, and roam your headquarters. There are three different weapon tiers and class promotion levels. The former is more about unlocking stat boosts and passive skills, while the latter improves your stats and opens up cool new abilities. I wish there was a little bit more customization in building characters, but it\u2019s an easy system to grasp, and I always look forward to new abilities due to the new strategies they open.<\/p>\n<p>Triangle Strategy most impresses me in its multifaceted choices. The conundrums are very <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>-like, as every nation is scheming while appearing to be an ally.\u00a0I don\u2019t yet know how far-reaching the branching paths are, but I always could see a reason for picking each path. I often agonized over my decisions, wondering where the other path may have led. The choices can come down to doing something you don\u2019t entirely agree with for leverage later to deciding to accept help from a shady ally out of necessity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Outside of some pacing issues and long-winded battles, Triangle Strategy has been a blast to play, with a good mix of strategy and narrative elements. As a bonus, it is also very newcomer-friendly for those who aren\u2019t well-versed in strategy\/RPGs.\u00a0\u00a0Now I\u2019m just curious how much the choices actually carry weight and if the finale turns out to be satisfying. That being said, I\u2019ve been pretty impressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>To see Triangle Strategy in action and learn more, watch our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zvbGKJ1xeGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Gameplay Today<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review-in-progress\/2022\/03\/03\/triangle-strategy-review-in-progress\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platform: Switch Publisher: Nintendo Developer: Square Enix Release: March 4, 2022 Triangle Strategy, a new tactical RPG led by Tomoya Asano, producer of the Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler games, makes its debut tomorrow.
