The diorama exploration is so full of life and secrets to be found, the in game documents and books you find are well written enough for me to read them, the combat is superb. In pretty much every fight I had more units than I could deploy, and units are unique enough that some semblance of a customised fighting force arises. Luckily the unit roster is large, the routes branch many times and give you route specific units, and you even get special units depending on your alignment and character relations. This is surprising, as FFT like games have always been about buildporn, and post awakening Fire Emblem has moved in the direction of buildporn aswell, but in triangle there is not much customisation at all, rather you can only personalise your playstile by which routes you take and which units you bring into combat.

You can customise units a bit, but a spade will stay a spade.

You get two slots for accessoices and an upgrade system for their gear which functions as a very simple perk system. Character, design and voice acting wise I like them, gameplay wise I like some of them, particularily the archers, cavallry and some of the mages, but the unit progression is a bit slim. Add to that that most maps are great fun, and the highest difficulty is adequately challenging (harder than FFT and launch difficulty 3 Houses by a bit) and I am having a great time in fights. Pinning for captures is a very old feature of Viking Tafl-boardgames, and it enhances the bog standard FFT esque combat greatly. Combo attacks only against units which are pinned from both sites is genius. If you don't do them all at once but do them inbetween long story sequences you can make the pacing a lot better. The low share of combat in the gameplay can be alleviated by playing extra fights in the warcamp tavern.

Story is overrepresented, reading fast is required for proper pacing.ĭespite the horrendous naming conventions the story is far from bad, it makes a bad first impression by only having three kingdoms and the retardiation that is the saltiron war, but it grew on my quickly.

Gameplay is divided into story, exploring panoramas and fighting. Played 5 hours today, I like this very very much.
