Knowledge is a key mechanic in the game, as learning more about the world opens up more dialogue and decision points for Serenoa. The game gives you information, and then expands upon them in future chapters. Details are never added, rather, the world is always expanding. The narrative is also a master class in worldbuilding. I’m not going to touch on the story, as learning about Norzelia and its complicated history of strife is best experienced first hand.Ĭharacters are equally complex, and there’s always a great sense of suspense and tension as their political ambitions and obligations clash with each other.

Everything about the game’s design goes back to the central thesis of choice, and with its rich narrative, deep combat and beautiful aesthetics, it makes for a perfectly balanced game that elevates what an RPG can be. Triangle Strategy is one of the smartest role-playing games I’ve played.
