Square Enix’s HD-2D style has been an undeniable success since Octopath Traveler first popularized it. The beautiful pixel-based art style has been used for some of the best RPGs of recent years, but even after everything, Triangle Strategy can proudly stand at the top of the pile. The best strategy RPG since Final Fantasy Tactics, Triangle Strategy is a grand tale of intrigue, oppression, economic subterfuge, and political upheaval — all wrapped up in a combat system bristling with tactical depth. It’s quite simply one of the best RPGs of the last decade, and you should hop on the PlayStation and Xbox releases if you haven’t already.
As an HD-2D game, Triangle Strategy has a lot in common with the likes of Octopath Traveler, from its graphical style to the way it tells its narrative — both are made by the same studio, after all. It might sound strange, but the best way to describe Triangle Strategy is a gorgeous visual novel fused with a strategy game.
