During Nintendo Direct, Square Enix revealed an upcoming SRPG for the Nintendo Switch with a working title of Project Triangle Strategy. You can watch the announcement trailer for the game below:
Featuring the HD-2D graphics featured in Octopath Traveler, the game harkens back to classic SRPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics. Furthermore, the story changes depending on the actions taken by the player. It features three value systems—Utility, Morality and Liberty which affects the player’s Conviction. As a result, the story branches out differently depending on this hidden Conviction stat.
While the game will release in 2022, its debut demo is currently available on Nintendo’s website. Switch owners can experience two episodes which make up Chapters 6 and 7 in the game.
On the war-torn continent of Norzelia, three nations vie for control over the vital resources of salt and iron. This is a tale of a kingdom brought to the precipice, and the brave souls who would fight for their ideals in the face of calamity…
Charming retro-styled pixel art is enhanced by unique 3DCG effects to bring an immersive fantasy world to life in Project TRIANGLE STRATEGY, an original tactical RPG from Square Enix and the latest title in their HD-2D series.
Command a group of warriors as Serenoa, heir to the Kingdom of Glenbrook in a tangled plot where your decisions make all the difference. Key choices you make will bolster one of three convictions—Utility, Morality, Liberty—which together make up Serenoa’s world view and influence how the story will unfold. When faced with truly momentous decisions, multiple characters will weigh in by casting their votes on the Scales of Conviction. In these moments, the allies and decisions you make can determine the fate of whole nations and the continent of Norzelia itself.

One of the last surviving breed of MacBook gamers, I have learnt to appreciate running games on the lowest graphics setting possible. Prone to crashing, both in-game and on the road. A fan of indie games, because I can't afford anything that is more expensive than a lunch. Follow me on Twitter or email me if you prefer.
