Triangle Strategy weaves a mature story full of intrigue and places the player in an unenviable position of having to make some very tough choices with meaningful consequences, all the while challenging them to face encounters that will test their strategic mind. In other words, it’s a compelling good time.

By combining tactical gameplay with a deep and sophisticated scenario, Triangle Strategy became both a source of prestige for Square Enix and a great new IP that they will profit from in the future.

With a surprisingly branching narrative, satisfyingly intense combat and an amazing soundtrack, Triangle Strategy is a great treat for Tactical RPG fans, but the lack of customization and ways to meaningfully improve your character drag the experience down a bit.

Triangle Strategy is a magnificent work that brings an immersive, complex and dense tactical RPG to the Nintendo Switch with all the elements that fans will appreciate. Featuring both a seductive plot and an intricate combat system, Triangle Strategy is a marvel to play and to look at, and it will certainly delight many players who enjoy tactical turn-based experiences and long, enveloping stories.

If you come at it looking for a strategy game first and foremost, I suspect you’ll be disappointed. However, if you’re willing to view it more as an experience rather than a real test of your decision making chops, you’ll likely find yourself very engrossed.

Triangle Strategy is, without a doubt, a TRPG worth playing. Both those who have recently discovered a love for the genre (due to its level of accessibility) and long-time fans of TRPGs (as it is quite similar to older titles) will have a worthwhile experience here. The title presents us with a beautiful story, in which the player himself decides both its chapters and its end, as well as an eye-popping combat system. In the end, any player will certainly have the feeling of a fulfillment!

Definitely one of the greatest modern strategy RPGs and a worthy successor to the classics like Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. It's able to take the best from the famous games that inspired it, while adding plenty of unique and interesting features of its own. If you own a Switch and enjoy turn-based RPGs - then what are you waiting for?

Triangle Strategy pushes heavily into its narrative, perhaps to the detriment of its turn-based combat. That will turn some away. But for those who are willing to push through, you'll find the game worth (nearly) every second you put into it. Excellent level design, diverse character abilities, and a tense political climate generate an engrossing experience for JRPG fans.

Triangle Strategy focuses on delivering a deep story with an emphasis on player choices and dealing with the consequences of those choices. The amount of narrative between battles might be too much for some players, however, it’s also what makes the game stand out. The combat and class systems are relatively straightforward but rewarding in their own right. Finally, with four different endings and multiple different paths throughout, Triangle Strategy will make you keep coming back for more.

Triangle Strategy is a little too safe to call a new classic, but at the same time, it's one of the best SRPGs I've played in ages. The solid level design and fantastic character variety keep the game engaging all the way to the end. The plot is a touch mundane, but I ended up being quite fond of most of the characters. Triangle Strategy is an example of a title that does almost everything right. If you're a SRPG fan, then Triangle Strategy is right up your alley; if you're not, it's a great place to start.

Triangle Strategy is unique in its sprawling story, and its success is only solidified by an excellent combat system that makes battles as intense as they are intimidating. With deep lore and an overall mature approach to a genre too often dumbed down, Triangle Strategy is an RPG fans dream.

It’s a meaty affair with a brilliantly told, political escapade which not only takes you along for the ride, but places you as a pivotal player in the overall outcome of its enigma. The battle and story sections are wonderfully compartmentalised into chapters that for the first time ever on a Switch game I didn’t feel as though my hands were going to fold in from those dreadful joy-con controllers.

Despite requiring the virtue of patience, Triangle Strategy is a great time. Grid-based battlefield lovers should definitely make a plan to play it.

Triangle Strategy may be a bit of a weird name but it’s another role-playing game from the mind behind Bravely Default and Octopath Traveller, so everyone knows roughly what to expect. Lovely warm pixel-art, a tightly-woven narrative and a rewarding combat system are what I want, so let’s dig into it.

Triangle Strategy brought very deep and compelling narratives and gameplay elements to this Nintendo Switch title. It doesn't always succeed in what it's trying to do. But overall, it's a fun experience.

Triangle Strategy tells a compelling story that connects with the tough decisions world leaders have made throughout history and today-but even with this strong narrative and well-designed gameplay, the long cutscenes and frustrating UI make the game less than perfect.

While slow to start, once Triangle Strategy sinks its hooks into the player, it is nearly impossible to put down.

Triangle Strategy does almost everything well. It looks great, sounds good, plays great, features an excellent story, and offers enough variance in its multiple paths to provide significant replay value. There’s no one element it gets wrong. Its biggest issue comes in how it puts these various elements together. If you’re okay with long story sequences with the combat taking a bit of a back seat, you’ll love Triangle Strategy. Despite the balance of these various elements feeling a bit off, each element is so well executed that this is still a must-play for fans of the genre.
