After taking part in your first momentous vote in Triangle Strategy , you will be taken to either the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost or the Holy State of Hyzante. With the former route, Serenoa and co. get to see the chilly north for the first time in the game and meet Archduke Gustadolph. With a large exploration event and a pretty difficult battle to contend with, this route can be a challenge. Luckily, it also comes with a nice reward - the ex-salt smuggler Rudolph, who makes for a fine addition to the team. More Walkthroug

While chatting with all the NPCs in the Holy City and looking for items to use and equip in Triangle Strategy 's Chapter 10, players will come across a Rebel who is nervous and upset. He can't get back to his house because a guard is standing by it, waiting to arrest
On the other hand, Triangle Strategy ’s marketing boasts "over 20 playable characters," significantly less than even the smallest Fire Emblem cast. But sometimes less is more, as Fire Emblem ** ’s large casts are notorious for having numerous characters who have very little relevance to the story at large. Triangle Strategy ** ’s smaller cast comes with the benefit of more individuality in terms of gameplay as well as greater potential for narrative releva
The only Fire Emblem game to utilize map elevation is Radiant Dawn , and it mostly amounts to additional terrain bonuses. All Fire Emblem games use their maps to create spaces where only certain units can move, or to apply certain stat bonuses, like a forest tile increasing a unit’s chance of avoiding attacks. While these map elements add a lot of strategy to the gameplay - with the map design itself being a crucial factor in the overall balance of the game - there aren’t many ways the player can interact with the environment itself. In Fates , certain units can interact with tiles dubbed "Dragon Veins" to alter the map, but they are very control
There is also money needed for various items like in a typical RPG . It’s harder to get materials or money in mock battles, which again, makes upgrading certain aspects tricky. It gets better the deeper players get into Triangle Strategy , but it can still be a strug
Units have a greater sense of individuality in Triangle Strategy compared to in the Fire Emblem series, partly due to its mechanics regarding unit death. In the Fire Emblem series, from Three Houses to Shadow Dragon , units whose HP reach 0 can never battle again. Most are considered dead, while others who are more relevant to the plot are said to have sustained injuries that don’t allow them to battle anymore. The only exceptions are the main characters, who if they die the player gets a game over and must replay the entire map ag
With an enemy force of 12 units, you sure have your work cut out for you. To balance the scales, you'll also have Rudolph and Sycrus on your side . Rudolph is an archer like Hughette, but prefers to get closer to his targets. Sycrus is a beefy Staffwielder with the Cheer ability, which grants them TP and buffs their strength for a few tu
The Fire Emblem series hasn't utilized the direction units face as a game mechanic, although other strategy RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics do. Triangle Strategy takes after Final Fantasy Tactics by including unit direction - where players place their units is always going to be important in both Fire Emblem and Triangle Strategy , but players will have to also consider the direction their unit faces in the latter. Whenever a unit is hit from behind, they’ll take a critical hit - something players want to protect their units from and utilize when they see an enemy open
There is a button players can hit during conversations to get brief character highlights. This can help, but it’s still tricky to keep track of them all. It is a double-edged sword and can be a nice problem to have in a story. Multiple characters give the world a more lived-in feeling at the cost of being confusing at ti
Triangle Strategy makes use of both these approaches. Choices players make can affect the short term by having the player go to one certain chapter instead of another, then returning them to the "shared" route after, as seen in the Triangle Strategy demo . Choices can also build up over time and lead to numerous different endings. In this way, Triangle Strategy seems closer to the likes of Tactics Ogre than Fire Embl
Triangle Strategy suffers from the same thing that plagued Game of Thrones . There are a lot of characters with relationships to others, each presiding over distant lands. There are the three main kingdoms of Glenbrook, Aesfrost, and Golden Apple Archipelago Hyzante, but then there are houses and factions within e
