For those of us lucky enough to live in the real world, they say variety is the spice of life. In medieval societies such as Triangle Strategy 's, it's enough to hope there's salt on the table. The first half of the game's ninth chapter culminates in a decision to either work alongside a corrupted salt lord or abide by a forced promise to do otherw

The second chapter of Triangle Strategy introduces a few new concepts. The first is exploration events, short scenes where you control Serenoa as he goes rooting through strangers' possessions for items and learning more about his philosophical convicti

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

For those that want to enjoy the story but do not want to pay perfect attention, there is a button for that as well. Players can autoplay the dialogue. This negates the need to hit a button to skip to the next speech bubble every time. It’s been done in RPGs before, but it still deserves applause h

In order to compel Anna to see your side of things, you will need 'The Saintly Seven' information. This can be found outside by speaking with the soldier right near the entrance if you don't already possess it from a previous chap

There is something about Triangle Strategy 's production value that feels missing. Where are the character portraits? There are so many characters in the RPG that keeping track of them all is near impossible. There is art for every major character in the game too. They just aren’t spliced toget

No new mental mock battles appear just yet, nor has the merchant restocked his wares. Stay on top of your Character Stories, though. You may still have several optional recruits to bring into the Wolffort f

This is your first time in an exploration event with a merchant . Interacting with merchants is limited to the event, and they will sometimes tout exclusive wares. Always be sure to take a look at their stock. If you're curious but low on coin, feel free to partake in a Mental Mock Battle or two back at the Encampm

This is the first mandatory battle wherein you will have Recommended units . These units are considered particularly useful by the game for the current battle. Including all of them in your battle party will not only give you an edge but will net you some Utility points . Conversely, if you use none of them, you'll get some Liberty poin

Triangle Strategy is an excellent game that expertly combines satisfying combat and a layered narrative to create something I didn’t know I needed. Serenoa Wollfort’s journey is punctuated with intrigue, winprizes betrayal, and triumph that are all driven by player decisions that actually feel like they matter. It isn’t smoke and mirrors on a moral railroad presenting the illusion of choice, it's a ride or die political rollercoaster where failing to convince a single ally will result in the untimely deaths of thousands.

There is an aspect of the sound that is not perfect. The voice acting, for about 80% of it, is great in English. The acting isn’t the problem though, it’s the amount of dialogue. Many fractured scenes take players back and forth on the map, even if a scene is continued from that same po

This is also the first exploration event that you'll experience that features a merchant . These offer time-limited shops that may sometimes offer exclusive items. If you want something and do not currently have the Coins for it, you can partake in Mental Mock Battles in the Encampment to earn some. This can be done even during an exploration ev

There is a button players can hit during conversations to get brief character highlights. This can help, but it’s still tricky to keep track of them all. It is a double-edged sword and can be a nice problem to have in a story. Multiple characters give the world a more lived-in feeling at the cost of being confusing at ti

There aren’t many opportunities to grind in the game outside mock and story battles. Mock battles reuse old maps to put the team against an assortment of soldiers. This is a great way to level up experience; however, leveling up isn’t the only way to strengthen characters. Players must acquire materials that then go into a type of skill t

'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

Triangle Strategy made me feel like a terrible person. JRPGs are normally defined by anime melodrama and silly haircuts, but this TRPG somehow brings out the human side of fantasy as we are forced to make decisions that have a tangible impact on the world around us. Ruling a kingdom is no easy task, especially when you find yourself embroiled in a war where everyone around you is a potential saboteur ready and willing to embrace betrayal.
