Instead, prior to the call, you have the chance to sway party members one way or the other. You, as Serenoa, are granted one vote but cannot unilaterally make the decision. Some members think you should stand and fight. Most members of your team - including Roland himself - think you should hand him over for the sake of peace. So you’re faced with a choice: Hand over Roland, or don’t.Īs all monarchies should operate, the end result is made via democratic process. They’d like to leave with Roland, a member of your crew, and promise no violence if you just hand him over, thank you very much. At the start of the second available chapter, you and your crew are holed up in a castle, bracing for an assault from nearby Aesfrost. You play as a young crown prince named Serenoa. In the fiction of Project Triangle Strategy, “domains” is spelled “demesnes,” while “jail” - the place someone needs to go for this naming structure - is spelled “gaol.”) (If anything, I was thrown for a loop more by the game’s unconventional spelling.

Each unit ends their turn by choosing to face in one of the four cardinal directions.
Backstabbing, for one, plays a major role in each fight. If you’ve played Fire Emblem or Square’s own pivotal Final Fantasy Tactics, you’ve played this before. If you’re about to move a unit in range of an enemy unit, you’ll see a red line connecting the two. Yes, your units are all assigned specific jobs - standard fare like soldier, spear knight, physician, scout, and so on - and you move them around a grid-based battlefield on a turn-by-turn basis. The rest? All chit-chat.įans of tactical role-playing games will be happy to hear that Project Triangle Strategy’s battles are everything you’d want and more.
