By encouraging the utilization of skills to push enemies away, Project Triangle Strategy quickly establishes many layers of complex strategy to build upon. In my run, the first is a lot simpler and the second makes much better use of terrain. Of course, this demo also comes with three maps to clear (though accessing them depends on the choices you make in the demo). Packed into this one demo is an assortment of what the main game has to offer-everything of interest in the Nintendo Direct announcement and more has an opportunity to shine here. There’s also a chance to investigate, persuade your allies, and cast your votes in a game-changing decision. Certain locales allow free roaming, and you can even recruit a few new allies. In addition to watching the main story, you can also find side stories to check up on characters outside your faction. I’ll take any opportunity to have such beautiful art appear on-screen. Needless to say, Project Triangle Strategy’s announcement-sans the actual title-landed very well with me, and the demo’s quick availability was another welcome surprise. When filling up my customary “Nintendo Direct Bingo” sheet, a spiritual successor to Tactics Ogre was absolutely not on my mind. Does it deliver the same nostalgic (but modernized) warm fuzzies as Octopath, or is there still some time before Triangle can go head-to-head with its inspirations? Niki Fakhoori With that in mind, here are Niki Fakhoori and Mark Tjan with their impressions of the demo.

Of course, several of our staff members immediately downloaded it to see what Square Enix has on offer!

Inspired by classic SRPGs like Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, it was greeted with overwhelming enthusiasm here at RPGFan!Īnd much like “Project” Octopath Traveler before it, Triangle had an immediately available demo available on the Nintendo eShop.
