![]() I can understand why some may be put off by this glacial pace, but it serves a greater purpose in connecting you with the world of Norzelia and the characters within. The tutorial seems simple, but you won’t be playing much for the first two (or so) hours. The beginning of Triangle Strategy is quite drawn out, almost to a Kojima-extent of worldbuilding through cutscenes. You take the role of Serenoa Wolffort, along with a large cast of his companions, to navigate their way through conflicts over resources, betrayal, and politics. Triangle Strategy takes place on the content of Norzelia, a land of three kingdoms embroiled in a conflict over resources. For those of you who enjoyed Bravely Default II on the PC, I won’t mince words: Triangle Strategy is a very, very good game. I needn’t repeat myself about how much I enjoyed Bravely Default II, but I was thrilled to see Square Enix and Artdink release another RPG in the same style as some of my favorite modern RPGs. This HD-2D tactical RPG was released with mainly positive reviews stemming from its gameplay, unique decisionmaking, art, and music from the likes of the development team behind Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler. For some, including myself, it was safe to assume that this title was to be a Switch exclusive. Triangle Strategy was initially released on the Nintendo Switch in March 2022. Even more, I was quite happy to review it. Thus, my surprise to see Triangle Strategy make its way to Steam no more than eight months after its Switch release was that of a pleasant surprise. But, these games are not for everyone, and it’s rare to see titles get rereleased/remastered after the fact. When I think back to my childhood, I attribute much of my decisionmaking skills and interest in the strategy genre thanks to Advance Wars for the Game Boy Advance and the few Generation of Chaos titles that made their way to the PSP. ![]() But…so few of these titles are available on the PC, assuming they make their way to North America at all. Nintendo has created a name for itself with Fire Emblem, Square Enix dabbled in Final Fantasy Tactics (with varying degrees of success), Nippon Ichi’s Disgaea series have been mostly hits. There needs to be more turn-based tactical RPGs for the PC.
