While the characters are little more than a mess of adorable pixels and many environments deliberately resemble handcrafted dioramas, there’s an element of realism in how this game expresses loss and sacrifice amidst conflict, often placing harsh decisions on our shoulders and expecting us to reach an ultimatum that will never satisfy everyone. You will make mistakes as a ruler, forced to leave loved ones or citizens to die in the face of progress or knowing that the war ahead will see further blood spilt if we aren’t prepared.
Each major character also has a trait unique to them – such as being able to act twice in a single turn or build ladders to navigate trickier terrain. Everyone is different, which makes selecting which units are coming into each battle that much more difficult. You will need to mix and match in order to match each new situation, which can often result in lower level characters having to hang back until they are needed because, as I said before, grinding opportunities in Triangle Strategy feel oddly truncated for a JRPG of this scope. Outside of battle and between story sequences you are free to visit a War Tent filled with your allies ready to strike up conversations. This is also where merchants and traders are found, who are required to upgrade weapons and advance character classes on the regular.
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

Players may have noticed that one of the Saintly Seven, Lyla Viscraft Minister of Medicine, is also in the city square with them. This character is not one players would know from the Triangle Strategy demo that carried over to the full game , but she will be important in this chapter. She is waiting near the guard that took Serenoa’s letter. While exploring the homes in the city, players most likely check out this little building looking for cl

Another thing that Serenoa and friends will need to do in Chapter 10 of the RPG Triangle Strategy is to have a chat with a rumormonger in the city. There is a man at the entrance of the city that directs players to try to talk with a woman who collects rumors. She is located in this little building near Lyla Viscr

It doesn’t make much sense, but from a gameplay perspective it presents an enthralling moral conundrum that had me scratching my head on several occasions. Before making your stance clear there will always be a chance to talk with allies, engaging in dialogue and presenting evidence to sway their position on certain matters. Some will be steadfast in where they stand, while others might be open to persuasion with the right approach. Serenoa will often be free to walk into town and speak with NPCs, all of whom have a perspective to offer on current affairs and small hints towards what the right path might be.
You’ve chosen the practical path — the path of reason. With Prince Roland surrendered, Triangle Strategy ‘s story has taken a grim turn. Was this tense peace worth the decision? Well, that’s the beauty of role-playing games. The answer is yes, no, or anywhere in between, depending on where one’s own thoughts linger. Or maybe you’re just trying to complete every route and this melodramatic paragraph means little to you. Honestly, f
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.
