Sidequests in JRPGs can open up a lot of space for the player to gain access to additional in-SLG game releases 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

We've already seen from playable Triangle Strategy demo that the choices that player is forced to make aren't always going to be black and white, and that there will be pros and cons to the choices they make. Maintaining this approach over the course of the game will be key, as it can lead to a much more hollow experience with telegraphed outcomes that are much easier for the player to anticip

The most important aspect of surviving Ironman is undoubtedly pod management. Ideally, players should aim to pull one pod at a time. One of the best ways to lose a squad is to have the last member advance, reveal a pod, and have the enemies take a full round of actions before players can react. To avoid being at the mercy of enemies in XCOM 2, it is important to use blue movement when advancing, and dash only when it is certain that no pods will be inconveniently revea

Now, this might be because the original Nintendo Switch hardware is struggling to keep up with development in its fifth year. Either way the frequent use of loads and the time itself adds up into annoyances however small they may

Across the series, players need to use their wits and maximize their roster of characters. After all, at the end of the day, the goal is to bring the fight back to alien colonizers. The squad-based nature of the game means players can upgrade individual units, equip special abilities, and use even the environment against their oppone

Moreover, its inclusion of wacky B-Film cutscenes makes Red Alert all the more entertaining experience. As such, gamers looking for an alternate setting for an RTS that's still relatable, Red Alert might do the job for t

Unlike other 4X games without a linear story, and unlike other strategy games that constrain players into a specific storyline, Total War: Warhammer 2 has a bit of both. In this hybrid title, players can opt to play through the Eye of the Vortex campaign. This narrative mode tells a unique story befitting the Warhammer Fantasy franchise. However, players can also play under a traditional 4X setup. With this setting, factions try to conquer the world map with diplomacy, subterfuge, and warf

Through the premise of the game alone, it's a safe assumption that the game will have numerous ending based upon the choices the player makes throughout their playthrough. Our primary hope is that the game learns from the mistakes of a game like Mass Effect 3 , and that the numerous endings each reflect the paths that the player chose to take. While this would definitely improve replay value, it would make for a much more fulfilling ending experience, while giving each choice a player makes have more wei

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

Unlike other fictional universes, the Warhammer 40K universe isn't exactly somewhere anyone would want to be in. In this setting, the universe remains an empty but harsh space that separates the material world from the Warp, which serves as the home to vile creatures and demons. Moreover, races in WH40K reached scientific heights that made them more paranoid and prepared to face alien thre

_XCOM 2 _ can be an extremely challenging game, and playing on Ironman can sometimes feel like a daunting experience. Unlike the normal modes, Ironman does not allow players to load previous saves. All progress is kept on a single save that updates constantly, making every action and consequence permane

Players want to avoid trading shots with enemies as much as possible. Any shot the enemy takes could be the one in a hundred that critically hits and downs a valuable soldier. When leveling up soldiers, picking options that increase lethality will often yield better results than defensive opti

While MECs were arguably the strongest class in Enemy Within, their pseudo-return in XCOM 2 leaves a lot to be desired. Their melee lacks the impact of Templars or Rangers, their utility is easily beat by Specialists, and their damage output can be surpassed by nearly every class. Their versatility might seem valuable, but given the cost in adding SPARKs to your team, it's essentially a worthless expe

For whatever reason, very few tactical JRPGs in recent memory have featured PVP multiplayer. Allowing players to face off against each other simply adds more variety to the game as a whole. Additionally, as the game is centered around the player's choices, opposing players may have access to different characters, weapons, and other resources based on the choices they made, making combat even more var
