Triangle Strategy's First Update In Over A Year Adds Extra Story Epilogue

Good timing on doing this while the game's on sale, kind of puts it back in a bit of a spotlight at a time when people might be more incentivized to buy it.

I know it's stupid, and "what's in a name" but I genuinely haven't bought this game, and continue to dismiss it, because it has a terrible name. Am I the only one?!

Has it been that long since this game released already??? Geez, it feels like it only just launched a few months ago. Maybe it's time to find a good sale on this game already.

I’ve been slacking on this game. Got about half way through. Fun game with a horrible name. They should have called it “Strategy of the Triangle”. Still a bad name but sounds a touch better.

Oooh time to head back! I need to do another play through anyway. …After TotK. Got Seranoa’s Route the first time and started a second play through to work on the characters I was missing. But never finished.

I would like a game like that but without evil choices. More like a lazy, middle and give it your all solution. The better the solution the harder the gameplay gets.

I could not do more than one route because most choices felt wrong. It is propably just not my game and I will not buy a second game if they produce a new one.

Even so I would say the game is good to great and it is good to see people get more content.

I don't often finish games but this one I did. Twice in fact.
Now might be a good time to do a third route.

This is one of my favorite games on the Switch. Almost beats Three Houses in my mind, actually. Fantastic game if you've ever enjoyed FF Tactics.

By "Serenoa's Route," though, do they mean the Golden Route?

One of the best games in recent memory. I wouldn't mind replaying this at some point.

@Jacoby Should have used The Saltiron Wars

Great game. Don’t let the terrible name turn you off to it, cause it was a gem if you like strategy games. Interesting that they added an epilogue, I’ll have to see what that’s about.

I gave up on this one.The dialogue is too much and too dry just get to the point already. The gameplay was kind of fun but lacked any real challenge unless on the highest difficulty.

Probably the only one who will say I preferred redemption reapers to this.

Reaper's felt more like I was playing a grim dark DnD campaign which I could get into. I could never relate to any of the characters in triangle. I was really hoping it was gonna be more like final fantasy tactics. And it wasn't

@nocdaes If you like a really good story, definitely pick it up. It’s nicely inspired by Game of Thrones, but also very original and compelling. It makes the strategy /battle missions very meaningful. But if you don’t like long story scenes, maybe you should miss it.

One of those games I still need to start playing, and am quite sure I'll love when I eventually get to it... Which is soon-ish. Or at least, that's what I say about any game in that pile when I'm reminded of them and not picking up a cheap game on a deep sale instead.

It is a great game. I am glad I was not stupid and bought the game. I still have to finish one of the routes.

As for the update, I updated the game on Switch and I cannot see the extra chapter although I have the game finished, I even replayed the last mission again. Any tips?

EDIT: Ah, bummer, apparently the extra chapter can be played only if you got the golden route.

Was kind of satisfied with the Benedict route, so never did a new game+

Might give it a go just to get a few more recruitables & to hear some backstories.

Never expected this game to get an update lol

@nocdaes It is one of the reasons sure. My reason was that the demo had me pressing 'A' most of time to scroll through reams and reams of some of the most boring dialogue ever written. Then I read people say it gets worse as the game goes on.

Not only is the dialogue overwritten and repetitive to the point of being tedious, they made the bizarre choice of having it all done with some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard.

The main character's voice would fail to intimidate a gerbil, and even worse, all of the actors constantly put emphasis on the incorrect words, showing that they don't even understand what they're reading and probably did everything in one lazy take. Not sure why they wasted time and money on such poor execution. It detracts from what is otherwise a very fun game to play.

@Cashews
Nah, the story gets better. The demo was a poor choice on the dev's part because they put you in missions that are already somewhat into the game. Nobody knew the story or how the game started, and most people playing a demo just want to get a feel for the gameplay, not feel confused as to what the story is. One of the missions in the demo is pretty darn deep into the game, actually.

If you play the whole thing from the start, the story is freakin' awesome.

I got the definitive ending when I played my first time (with pure luck) and then watched the different endings on youtube. I figure I'll probably just do the same here since I can't see myself installing the game again just to watch an epilogue... Unless it's beefy. I did somewhat think about replaying it to recruit different units... GOSH DARNIT! FINE! I'll have to just play it again while I wait for Persona 5 Tactics and that rumoured FF Tactics remaster/remake thing.

This is amazing. Can’t wait to dive back in

Well good time as any to replay this again. Enjoyed this way more then Tactics Ogre.

Also still funny that even after a year people are obsessed about the “horrible” name [yet gives passes to other games they likely play regularly that arguably has “horrible” names too]

Forgot about this game, people seem to really like it. Also, I'm glad NL is back to covering games on Switch. I was beginning to think I'd stumbled onto another site when an article about a certain 'rip-off' on a non-Nintendo console popped up.

I love this game, but I didn’t get the golden route ending. I guess this epilogue isn’t for me, dang.

As for people talking crap on its title ….really? There’s so many actual bad titles out there. At least this one makes sense in context.

@Hopeful_Cynic Y’all sound like the goofy people who quit banking at one of the local credit unions because they changed their name

I bought the cart, played (and finished) the campaign, traded in the cart towards TOTK. No regrets. I enjoyed the game, but I could not see every wanting to revisit it.

@Troubbble This game is actually my number one piece of evidence when I argue against voice acting in old school games. I Can read faster and probably feature better headcanon voices.

I wish Devs would Just save the money. Old school games didn't have voice acting and they really don't need it. Or benefit from it.

@nocdaes if you're into strategy games it apparently is! Heard so many srpg fans raving about it!
