Players follow the members of House Wolfort as an act of unspeakable regicide stokes the fires of war once more.

The houses of the Norzelia continent are all left reeling following the Saltiron War. For those who missed the hype cycle for this game leading up to its Nintendo Switch release earlier this year, Triangle Strategy tells the tale of a continent at war. Triangle Strategy, which released earlier this year as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is about to make its way to PC via Steam.īoth a trailer and a Steam listing for Triangle Strategy went live on Tuesday. However, one of the publisher's most exciting announcements may be an under-the-radar reveal for PC players. I think Scales of Conviction is actually a great name for the game, but I’m not a marketing person so who knows.Square Enix has had a very busy morning with a handful of announcements coming from Tuesday morning's Nintendo Direct. “ Project Triangle Strategy” is fine as a working title, but we need something a little sexier for a final name. That’s probably the most disappointing part of the whole announcement – aside from the name, I guess. The demo gave me just enough to get my hype as hell for the full release, for which we have no expected launch date. I can’t wait to see what other kinds of terrain elements can be manipulated in this way in the full game. So, using melted ice walls you can create a field of water that increases the damage range of the lightning bolt to more enemies than some spells with larger inherent target areas. Another character can cast a lightning bolt the bolt will disperse and damage any enemy standing in adjacent submerged tiles. However, it leaves behind standing water on the tiles where the wall used to be. For instance, one character can summon a small ice wall that melts after a few turns. The second battle (of the route I chose, anyway) introduces even more variety to your tactical options by adding new characteristics to the battlefield itself. Funneling enemy troops into the teeth of your attack is a potent strategy for overcoming the enemies’ superior numbers and protecting your weaker units, and I look forward to exploring this more fully in the full game. It introduces a few cool ideas for controlling the conditions of the battlefield, such as the ability to summon barriers to allow players to control the movement of enemy units to a degree. The basics of moving units and attacking are the same as most any strategy RPG you care to name.

The combat mechanics are fairly standard for the first of the game’s two scenarios.
