Triangle Strategy PC Review
Triangle Strategy is an interesting little gem. When it was originally announced for Nintendo Switch, there was measurable elation. The game was revealed following the release of Octopath Traveler, which paved the way for an incredible style that married both 2D and 3D elements together in a modern vehicle. In a time where pushing visual fidelity continues to be all the rage, there was something to be said about Square Enix returning to their roots - albeit in a way that expands beyond the typical pixel remake or upscale remaster. For those unaware, it’s dubbed the “HD-2D” style because pixel graphics of old are given the high-definition treatment with some added 3D elements. Producer Tomoya Asano and team took those elements further with Triangle Strategy, creating a new tactical role-playing game that also aimed to call back to the days of Final Fantasy Tactics. Triangle Strategy satisfied those expectations and more when it released earlier this year. We covered the lot of it in our original review, noting that it was delightful, impressive and in all the ways that matter a top contender for one of the best games of 2022. That is of course, all well and good but there were

Triangle Strategy Review
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve replayed Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre through the years. The PSP versions alone very likely stole several hundred hours of my life. I try to keep my chin up about Tactics Ogre still being stuck on old hardware by reminding myself I don’t have time for it right now, anyway. It doesn’t help. I’m still upset. When Triangle Strategy was announced, the early bits of its reveal trailer had me excited for an Octopath Traveler sequel. That’s probably still coming eventually. But for a split second my heart sank as I slowly realized that, unless Octopath Traveler 2’s development path altered full-tilt in an unexpected direction, this was not that game.  But wait. An elemental spell can spread across tiles. Units stand kind of goofily around a grid-like battlefield until it’s time for them to march onward. The world beyond a predetermined combat or exploration space drops off sharply into virtually indistinguishable nonsense. This wasn’t Octopath Traveler 2, or as I insist Square Enix call it, Oc2path. This was something else. This was the potential renaissance of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. This was Triangle Strategy, and my heart skipped a beat. Two

Triangle Strategy shipments and digital sales near 800,000 units
Triangle Strategy is nearing 800,000 shipments and digital sales worldwide following its Nintendo Switch release on March 4, Square Enix announced today. Over 200,000 of those units were sold in the Japan and Asia region. Triangle Strategy is a tactical RPG that follows the story of four individuals caught in the shadowy remnants of the Saltiron War — a great conflict between nations over limited salt and iron resources. The war ended with an uneasy truce, but has begun stirring up again in recent years. Serenoa Wolffort, Prince Roland, Frederica Aesfrost, and Benedict Pascal have gathered together to protect their homeland of Glenbrook from forces who seek the kingdom’s destruction. A new illustration created by designer Naoki Ikushima was posted along with the announcement.

Triangle Strategy shares changes built on demo version’s survey
Triangle Strategy, previously known as Project Triangle Strategy, is planned for release on March 4, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. Earlier this year, Square Enix released a "debut" demo that's still available to try now. Later on, a survey was distributed to collect feedback on that demo to inform further development of the final product. The results of that feedback were published this week following a release date announcement in a Nintendo Direct presentation. We learn that loading times during events have been reduced by 10 seconds, and the team plans to further reduce loading times by launch. Additionally, in the final version of the game, the number of times you are returned to the world map after viewing an event scene has been reduced, thereby lowering the amount of times you will have to sit through a loading sequence. Auto-play and Skip functions have been added to events and can be activated with press of the ZR button and + button respectively. Conversation logs have been added just incase you skip a line of dialogue, and there are now character profiles that appear on screen when a character is introduced. On the world map, the cursor speed has been increased
