Triangle Strategy is a tactical RPG that takes place in the middle of a trade war between three countries on the continent of Norzelia. Featuring strong tactics gameplay and striking retro visuals, players control a traveling band of troops led by the generically stoic Serenoa as they look to untangle the political conflict.


What we like:
  • Tight tactics battles
  • Emphasis on careful troop placement
  • Special currency for special actions
  • Choice-driven story with tense decisions
What could be improved:
  • Long swaths of monotonous dialogue with minimal interactivity
  • Thin customization options
  • Hardly any side-content
