Players assume the role of Serenoa Wolffort, a legendary warrior and heir to the throne of the House of Wolffort, as he and his comrades set out to navigate their way through a brand new conflict which threatens to erupt from the uneasy truce that's just about being held between the three factions at the beginning of the game.

Triangle Strategy, which shares a similar visual style to Octopath Traveler - dubbed HD-2D by Square Enix and being put to use in other games, notably the Live A Live remake announced in the Nintendo Direct - but is not a sequel to that game, sees us transported to the fictional land of Norzelia in the aftermath of the "Saltiron War", a long-term conflict waged between the continent's three nations Glenbrook, Aesfrost and Hyzante. We've been spending plenty of time with Triangle Strategy over the past week and can tell you that the prologue, which should take you a solid two or three hours to blast through, does a great job of introducing a bunch of the game's central characters as well as giving you a handful of battles to get stuck into that slowly layer on tactical elements, resulting in some pleasingly strategic early enemy encounters. As we've already reported, a brand new demo for Square Enix's upcoming tactical RPG, Triangle Strategy, dropped onto the Switch eShop during the latest Nintendo Direct and it's a pretty generous offering, giving players a chance to dig into the game's prologue with all progress carrying over to the main game, should you choose to pick it up when it releases on 4th March.
