In handheld mode, which we consider to be the ideal way to play this type of game, Triangle Strategy visibly rendered below the device’s native 720p. Too bad the Nintendo Switch is unable to keep up. 3D environments, pixelated 2D characters and a macro lens effect, the result is an absolutely beautiful retro-modern aesthetic. The Artdink studio, responsible for the development, made the wise choice to take over the engine of Octopath Travelerbased on the Unreal Engine 4. Isn’t there a better way than following two different evolution systems that each require a lot of collectibles? Some, more nostalgic than us, may appreciate it. The process to evolve our fighters, for example, is cumbersome. However, after playing about ten hours at Triangle Strategy, impossible not to note that we could still have purified the thing. The addition of destructible environments is a plus. Each character has a unique class, forcing us to come up with creative solutions to the scenarios presented.
It was a real pleasure to find this isometric perspective, like a game of chess that can be rotated. Tomoya Asano, to whom we owe among others Bravely Default and its sequels, has decided to adapt the formula to today’s tastes, simplifying it in part. Important point: our decisions, taken with our allies after votes, have always given us the impression of having weight. We spend most of our time following the tribulations of the high dignitaries of each nation rather than fighting. The dialogues are well rendered, but it’s extremely wordy. We chose to play with the original voices, in Japanese, with English subtitles.
