REVIEW: Triangle Strategy

2018’s Octopath Traveler introduced the world to the breathtaking “2D-HD” art-style, incorporating nostalgic SNES era graphics with 3D environments in a modern rendering engine. Triangle Strategy utilizes this 2D-HD style just as beautifully as its spiritual predecessor, offering gorgeous visuals that feel like a passionate love letter to gamers who grew up in the early 90s. If you’re not into tactical turn-based RPGs, Triangle Strategy isn’t for you, but if you are, you’re almost guaranteed to get your money’s worth and then some. Square Enix has created yet another incredible world that practically begs for sequels, prequels, or spin-offs. Action-packed strategic battles, a well-orchestrated gripping narrative with replayability due to its multiple paths and endings (plus the convenient inclusion of the NEW GAME+ mode after completing your first playthrough), and complex yet easy to learn and understand polished mechanics make this latest 2D-HD entry from producer Tomoya Asano an easy recommendation for Nintendo Switch.
