Announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct, Triangle Strategy is an upcoming tactical JRPG being developed by Square Enix. Though the game has a visual style similar to that of Octopath Traveler , the game's gameplay appears to be more akin to that of games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre , and Fire Emb

While having numerous endings and routes within a game incentivizes numerous playthroughs, nothing incentivizes players to keep playing a game quite like post-launch content. Whether these are free updates or DLC, additional content to a game allows it to continue to be fresh over a much larger period of time. As a tactical RPG , Triangle Strategy could theoretically add anything from new recruitable characters to entirely new mo

However, there's still quite some time before Project Triangle Strategy releases. The fact that it doesn't even have a final name as of yet should make it clear that the waiting period is going to go on for quite some time. So, for fans who might find this wait to be somewhat unbearable, here are ten games on the Nintendo Switch that players can try out before Project Triangle Strategy relea

However, just like in Enemy Unknown, Sharpshooters in XCOM 2 are built with a singular purpose: kill everything on your screen. Snipers get this done with high-damage sniper rifles that are deadly accurate, and their inherent Squadsight ability means you can often do this without putting them in danger. Not only are they deadly, but you can put them in places where they're almost always unable to be kil

Sidequests in JRPGs can open up a lot of space for the player to gain access to additional in-game rewards such as items as well as allowing the spotlight to be put on side characters for further character development. As Triangle Strategy is being billed as a game built around a player's choices and decision making, sidequests could be used in a variety of interesting w

As this list will show, cover art is similar to band names. The Beatles and Rolling Stones may not sound great on paper, but they're iconic because they're attached to iconic bands. The same can be said for box art, where the game's quality affects how the cover art is percei

Similarly, having key boss fights be dictated by a player's decision-making would truly drive home the themes of the game. Perhaps a character that is a playable ally if certain choices are made becomes a major adversary that must be dealt with in another route. These would give the game's various routes more identity while giving the player immediate indicators of how their choices are impacting the game's st

The Nintendo Switch is home to some truly amazing JRPGs, and one need only look at the latest addition to its lineup to understand why this is the case. By all accounts, Project Triangle Strategy looks absolutely brilliant and worth any person's time who loves the 2.5D art style that has come up recently and wants to see more games in the same vein. Of course, the fact that this is a strategy JRPG is bound to entice some people as w

Borderlands 3 isn't the only SLG game reviews to take inspiration from religious artwork, as Far Cry 5 's cover is a clear reference to one of the most famous paintings of all time, Leanardo De Vinci's The Last Supper. The reference is an ingenious way of telling players just how highly regarded Joseph Seed is among his cult memb

Many of these abilities are also far more reliable than the Psy-Operative suite early on, and this can make them far more worthwhile to train and invest in. Psy-Operatives were often considered overpowered in the original XCOM 2, but new and old players can save tons of time by just filling that role with a Templar inst

While Enemy Unknown 's basic gameplay loop saw players taking uneasy steps into hostile territory, unsure of ambushes, it's the player who now stalks their alien prey. Squad members can be led, one by one, up to the very fringe of monitored areas. From there, it's possible to identify secondary targets or assets (now a core layer of the mission objectives), and surround enemy troops and traitors before they know what's about to hit them. And when it hits them... it's glori

Firaxis Games and Feral Interactive present the second and wildly popular entry to the XCOM franchise. XCOM 2 is the classic alien-fighting turn-based strategy game where players control a squad of talented soldiers with different skills on dangerous missions against an exoplanetary enemy threatening to rule mank

For those who have been waiting until XCOM 2 hit consoles to see how it follows on the story of the first game, the twist from Firaxis is the kind of bold and ambitious that would seem alien to other studios (pardon the pun). After spending an entire campaign - or two - battling an alien infestation with the backing of world governments and cutting-edge technology, Firaxis took the fate of the world out of the players' hands: Humanity had lost. The Aliens won. Twenty years have passed. And XCOM has been scattered to the w
