At the end of each cutscene, the player is taken back to the world map to choose yet another cutscene. Specifically, there are a large number of cutscenes that take place in between battles. It’s clear from the demo that Project Triangle Strategywill have dozens upon dozens of characters, making improving the quality of the voice acting a must over the next year.Īnd while I am reserving judgement on the quality of the story until the game releases in 2022, I am concerned about its pacing. It ranges from perfectly acceptable, to what sounds like a bad first take at an audition, often in the same cutscene. What is easy to glean, however, is that the voice acting needs work. I suspect there will be a great deal of political intrigue in the narrative, but that is not what is properly conveyed in the demo. That being said, why was there the need to include a rather lengthy set of story sequences before the first battle even began? The plot itself seems fine, with it set against the backdrop of three nations reigniting the flames of conflict after a short period of peace, and I am interested in learning more about the world in the future. It’s a fair warning, and I understand that the developers chose to use a gameplay slice not from the beginning to better showcase the battle system. All of this has been kept in the pixel art style.Project Triangle Strategy’s’ demo warns you at the outset that it takes place in the middle of the story, and that it may be difficult to understand what is going on. Here we have 3D, environments combined with characters based on 16-bit sprites and slightly more contemporary, dynamic lighting and shading. Project Triangle Strategy has very nice graphics that look similar to Octopath Traveler. The core of the game is the story campaign.
Project Triangle Strategy can only be played solo. These are Utility, Morality and Liberty.Īt really important moments, side characters can also offer their opinion, which is also reflected on the belief scale (so we know which choice fits with which character's worldview).
What's more, our actions are also reflected on three special statistics of Serenoi, called convictions, which together shape the main character's personality and decide what kind of ruler he is. Project Triangle Strategy features also interesting game mechanics that go beyond the clashes - pushing forward the main plotline we make various decisions, including the choice of allies, which affect the fate of different countries, and even the entire continent. The game also features a mechanic that allows us to combine elemental effects - fire can melt ice, while water conducts electricity from lightning.īetween successive battles we gradually develop our heroes, increasing their effectiveness in battle and gaining more tactical options. The gameplay is mainly about fighting turn-based, small-scale battles (we control one group of warriors, not whole armies), during which we use various special abilities of our characters to gain advantage over our enemies.įights take place on expansive, multi-level maps, and proper positioning of warriors is of key importance - for example, reaching higher can attack from an arc from a greater range, flanking the enemy creates an opening for one of the characters to perform a powerful attack in the enemy's back. Project Triangle Strategy is a quite classic tactical RPG, in which the action is observed from an isometric perspective. The nobleman takes command of a group of warriors when his country enters a conflict over increasingly scarce natural resources - salt and iron. The main character of Project Triangle Strategy is Serenoa - heir to the throne of the Duchy of Glenbrook, located on the continent of Norzelia.
