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.
Before you attempt to sway people to your side, remember that this is also something of an exploration event. Chat to the Concierge manning the door and you can explore the Wolffort Streets to pick up crucial information and useful ite
As the first battle of the game, the battle in Wolffort Harbor is really easy. It serves as an effective tutorial for the game’s combat system, though, so read those pop-ups thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the concepts. Even if you’re an SRPG veteran, Triangle Strategy has its own quirks such as elemental puddles and its TP system for ski
One of the several items players will have to take care of in Chapter 10 of Triangle Strategy while in the Kingdom of Hyzante is contacting Exharme Marcial, the Minister of Arms. He has recently been in contact with Serenoa about Minister Sorsley’s illegal salt trade, and Serenoa will make an attempt to contact him when in the marketplace of the holy city. The guard, however, will not let Serenoa in to see the Minister, so he tells Serenoa to write a letter inst
Taking clear inspiration from the likes of Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, Triangle Strategy is an achingly faithful homage to classic genre conventions that can often feel too retro for its own good. However, this faithfulness is complemented by myriad innovation and creative mechanics that help it shine. Combine that with excellent characters and an unexpectedly poignant narrative and you’ve got one of 2022’s biggest surprises. After being somewhat underwhelmed by Octopath Traveller, the team behind it has returned with a tighter, punchier, and more refined experience that cuts away so much of the needless chaff.
‘Dwindling Light’ follows ‘A Soul upon The Scales’ in combining voting with exploration. You’re given the option to step outside into the castle town, which you should of course take in order to find items, shop with the merchant, and engage in Conviction Conversati

And now for the main event. Will you see House Wolffort through the moral ambiguity of working alongside Sorsley? Or will you attempt to report his wrongdoings directly to Hyzante? Here’s how to make Serenoa’s friends see the value of each appro
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
Serenoa and co. reach Wolffort Castle… and receive the bad news. And then some more bad news. And then yet another piece of bad news. It just isn’t going well for our heroes, is it? It’s a bad day to be a father/father figure in Norze
Everything is situated here, and once again I would have welcomed a bit of extra variety to spice things up. Triangle Strategy is rather traditional in its definition of fantasy, so those who aren’t pulled in by political showdowns and melodramatic expressions of bloodshed might not find a lot to love here. The voice acting doesn’t help either, some of which is downright awful thanks to a lack of direction that has some characters come across as emotionless husks that never give the writing they’re propping up justice. Serenoa is easily the worst, a rather damning indictment given he’s the main protagonist we hear from all the damn time.
