![]() ![]() Granted, these are all storylines and tropes explored in many recent HD-2D JRPGs, like the Bravely Default series and Octopath Traveler. It's all stuff that's been done before (and better) in other fantasy games. And who could have possibly foreseen that the religious country that preaches freedom for all and is also supposedly devoid of any and all crime is actually * gasp* not all that of a great place to live if you don't buy into the teachings of the ruling faith? Everyone who's ever played a fantasy JRPG before, that's who. And despite her noble birth, Frederica faces discrimination for her pink hair (a physical signifier of her Rosellan heritage-Triangle Strategy's stand-in fantasy race for "marginalized people"). Like, Serenoa is a good-natured man in a cynical world, whose desire for peace and cooperation attracts a large number of followers and allies. It certainly doesn't help that so much of the setup involves tired tropes that aren't all that interesting. Triangle Strategy endeavors to impart all of Norzelia's backstory prior to actually putting the plot in motion, making for one of the slowest opening arcs I've ever seen. ![]() It is a fragile peace at best-the first few hours of Triangle Strategy constantly imply that the continent is a powder keg, and everyone is warily eyeing each other while holding lit matches.

Glenbrook is most well-known for its military might and managing trade routes, while Aesfrost and Hyzante control the continent's most valuable resources, iron and salt, respectively.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Serenoa lives in the continent of Norzelia, a land that has entered a strained peace as its three countries-Glenbrook, Aesfrost, and Hyzante-agree to a truce in order to avoid all-out war. In Triangle Strategy, you play as Serenoa Wolffort, a young man who has recently taken control of House Wolffort. There's a potentially good game here with Triangle Strategy, but it takes way too long to set-up its fantastical world and get to its most promising feature. But a huge portion of that four hours is scene after scene of story exposition. Those three chapters take about four hours to complete, which sounds like a fairly decent chunk of the game if you're looking to check it out prior to deciding whether to buy it-and since your progress from the demo carries over, you don't have to worry about playing those four hours over again. ![]() Triangle Strategy has a free demo that encompasses the first three chapters of the upcoming tactical HD-2D turn-based JRPG. ![]()
