What it is
Triangle Strategy is a tactical role-playing game developed by Artdink and published by Square Enix. Its story unfolds on Norzelia, a continent divided among the salt-controlling Holy State of Hyzante, iron-rich Grand Duchy of Aesfrost and forested Kingdom of Glenbrook. An incident unsettles their balance of power, and your choices shape the path ahead. The game tracks convictions across Utility, Morality and Liberty; these values affect the story and which allied units join your cause. Major decisions are settled through votes using the Scales of Conviction, where persuading allies can help make your preferred course prevail. Battles emphasize positioning, terrain and elevation, with characters who have distinct traits. Triangle Strategy is a single-player game for Windows. Its listed features include full controller support, adjustable difficulty, achievements and trading cards. It also offers options for camera comfort, custom volume controls, keyboard-only play and play without timed input.
