Triangle Strategy Game Review, After Playing for 80 Hours

Ойындар

Triangle Strategy released on March 4th to a lot of hype and excitement. After a long wait, I was able to purchase and play the game. I have since logged 80 hours into this game. Needless to say, I have a lot of thoughts. This is a spoiler free review of Triangle Strategy covering gameplay, User Interface, Story and on the conviction system.
My fanbase is mostly Fire Emblem, but I am aware that a significant portion of my viewers were anticipating Triangle Strategy, just like I was. Hopefully you found this review helpful!
If this video does well, I think it would be fun to have more in-depth discussions on Triangle Strategy's story cutscenes, characters and gameplay, as there is so much to sink your teeth into. The OST also is unreal.

    I don't usually do non-Fire Emblem videos, much less game reviews at all. But my hype for this game and the time I put into it so far inspired me to write a review on it. Its not FE, so I don't know how well it will do. But if you do end up watching it, please leave a like and comment down below on it or your general thoughts on the game itself!

    I appreciate the spoiler-free. I've been interested in the game since it's initial demo back when it was first revealed, and was happy playing more from the new demo. That being said, I was reluctant to pay 60 USD for the full game from what I had seen at that point, mostly in regards to the story/branching path system. This clears things up without ruining what made it good, so thank you.

    I am very picky with the tactical style games I've played because it has been so hard to find a strategy game that is similar to Final Fantasy Tactics in regards to gameplay and story. While I feel that the story is a bit cheesy, only a little bit, it is still intriguing and the gameplay is awesome. I like that it gives you several different levels of difficulty, in case someone wants less or more of a challenge. What really bought me about this game is that the mechanics of height, position, weapons, etc. is all part of the strategy you need to utilize to win the battle. It is by far one of the better tactical games I've seen in a while.

    Dumbest misstep ever. Pressing a button to bring up a profile is no substitute. Human brains are hardwired to be looking at a face when someone is talking. Honestly, the early game isn't nearly as bogged down in dialogue-to-gameplay ratio as people say it is, it just seriously feels like it is because of how mentally taxing it is to absorb all that dialogue without the portraits attached. Changing that one thing would make the game so much easier for people to get into.

    This review gets extra kudos for mentioning Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. I know people want to compare the game to Final Fantasy Tactics but what a majority do not realize is that the team who made Final Fantasy Tactics also made Tactics Ogre on the SNES. Also Triangle Strategy basically borrowed the decision making aspect of Tactics Ogre and copied/expanded upon it. If you want great political intrigue and deep unit customization play Tactics Ogre the story holds up incredibly well to this day. Edit: Also play Triangle Strategy it’s really good.

To add a thing, I'd like to mention that TO came first, and FFT was the second, watered down version of TO when Square bought the team. FFT was the one popularized, and I'm sad too many people think it came first. Especially in the West. Since you guys got the TO ps1 port after getting FFT. A shame, really. Don't know how Triangle Strategy compares to FFT, but as hardcore fan of TO I approve. It's a good game.

Anna and Hughette are super fun too, sneaking around the battlefield and spreading status conditions.

    On one chapter I was faced with a fight where I had to defeat someone very strong. I had the option to use some mechanisms to burn down buildings to make things easier, but instead used my character who was able to create a ladder, put ALL MY MAGES on top of a building, and eventually the enemy NPC's all parked themselves at the bottom of the buildings while I just blew them away with Magic. It was really funny. (Didn't bring up chapters and etc to avoid spoilers) Fun thing was, because I didn't use the mechanisms, it actually effected the story. So that was really cool.

    I'm curious about what units you like most, be it for their utility, characterization, etc and I'm also curious about where you fall most with regard to the alignments. For my first run I went all in with utility to get -you know who- as early as possible to trivialize future playthroughs but I do kind of regret not going with my gut like you recommended. Thanks for covering Triangle Strategy.

    i really enjoyed it too! like you, i bought it for about $90 canadian and that's really steep.... but there's a lot of replay value and with the pace i'm going, i'll get over 90 hours on it so i'm fine with that. there are undoubtedly some notable flaws but it was super enjoyable, definitely no regrets on the purchase for me! i think the choices kinda follow a mass effect system where the main storyline remains the same despite branches, but i was still satisfied with the whole "choices matter" aspect because different decisions have different resulting battles/maps/recruits. great review & it would be cool to see more tristrat content from you!

    Video popped up in my recommended feed - I was a little on the fence about this game. The demo was fun, and I also really like both Fire Emblem and FFTactics (albeit having only played the first, as Advance and A2 are basically completely different games), but I was a bit nervous regarding how well the difficulty curves and how much emphasis would be put on the story. From the descriptions here, it sounds right up my alley! I'll be sure to grab this when I get a chance, and for the record you did a great job eloquating your points despite having to dodge spoilers, which is definitely something I struggle with when my friends ask me about certain games they're considering.

    I was pretty hesitant about this game given that there have been 2 demos, one for receiving player feedback and the other covering the first 3 chapters. I gave it a try but didn’t really offer much feedback other than “it’s good” or go any further than 1 chapter the day before release. I ended up going in blindly on a hard difficulty, made decisions I really struggled over with, and I don’t regret my experience. Maybe I’ll change the difficulty after one decision gave me ptsd about what it means to make reckless decisions but it’s still a good game I decided on getting.

    With as much choices as the game gave you I felt like I was constantly restricted to a path. Sure that path splits but I'm still on that said path. Glad you mention the AI exploits because it definitely trivialized some fights and took me out of the experience.

    I have played this game, and you echo all of my sentiments exactly. While it is slow, once it gets going, all of that buildup at the beginning really pays off! I recommend this game. 9/10. Not perfect because I feel like the UI in some places is a little rough, but really enjoyed every aspect of it. Story, Combat, Characters, it's all here.

  • @conangoinham
    @conangoinham12 күн бұрын

    Story has been the gem of this title for me so far. Personally felt like the difficulty wasn't as challenging as other TRPG's (FFT, Tactics Ogre, Fell Seal, and BG3 all felt more difficult) so I switched to hard mode within 2-3 battles. As to your comments on laggy screens, that must be a console limitation. It's run flawlessly on PC. If you haven't played FFT, you'd be shocked at how far combat QoL has come. The camera on FFT was abysmal, you couldn't preview actions, there were no color coded squares or line of sight indicators etc. This title would be a lot easier for someone new to the genre to dip their toe into than others, imo. Thanks for your honest review 👍

    Just try the demo and see if it’s your thing. Although, tbh even in the demo, the most exciting parts of the plot don’t come in until at least chapter 5. So if your only criticism is “eh….the story is meh and it’s going too slow” trust me, it gets MUCH better past chapter 5

I planned my first expensive game purchase to be Zelda BOTW, but no store has it in stock. So I dl this demo. And yes, it’s very dialogue heavy but man I love it. Right up my alley. Strategy, politics and turn based combat. Just picked up the physical copy. Great review 🎉

    Thanks for the review. I’ve been dying for a SRPG like this since Final Fantasy Tactics. There have been some decent options over the last 20+ years…but this is hitting the mark. I’m going to see if turning the voice volume down works, because it’s just much faster to read than listen to either the sub par English acting or the Japanese acting.
