There’s very likely some political intrigue at the heart of PTS’s narrative, but free of context, it simply sounded like a deluge of proper nouns thrown around in a hailstorm of people occasionally getting stabbed. I could not believe to what extent that warning undersold my confusion. It added that I would be unlikely to understand what the heck was going on. The demo warned me at the outset that it takes place somewhere in the middle of the final game’s story. Based on the demo alone, it doesn’t quite hit those highest highs, but Project Triangle Strategy definitely feels like an attempt at getting there. I’m pretty keen on strategy RPGs and indifferent on triangles, so I figured I should give this demo a shot in the vain hope that it would be like Final Fantasy Tactics, my most beloved of strategy RPGs. Alongside the announcement, Nintendo revealed that a demo was going up on the eShop as a debut preview for fans to check out - much like Bravely Default 2 and Octopath Traveler before it.

During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, the creators of Octopath Traveler revealed the next game in their HD-2D series, Project Triangle Strategy (it’s a mouthful but a working title) for the Switch.
