The comically titled Triangle Strategy is a tactical RPG that takes place in the middle of a trade war between three countries on the continent of Norzelia. It’s just a shame that you have to sit through countless hours of lifeless dialogue from interchangeably vague characters to get there. Triangle Strategy features strong tactics gameplay delivered with the same striking retro visuals that made Octopath Traveler stand out before it. So why was I folding so much underwear during it instead? That genre usually means players are in for long battles that require lots of active decision-making and grid management. The new strategy RPG from the team behind Octopath Traveler is a tactics game meant to scratch the same itch as Fire Emblem or Advance Wars. The problem is that Triangle Strategy isn’t a visual novel, or at least, that’s not supposed to be its appeal.

On the contrary, I often love visual novels that I can play while eating dinner like I would with a movie. When I use that term, I usually don’t mean that as an insult.
