Well, this was certainly news to me. Triangle Strategy, a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is coming to virtual reality on October 31st for the Meta Quest. I’m quite intrigued to see how this all works out, and if you want to know more, let’s continue reading.
About
“Voting
Important decisions that will decide the fate of the protagonist and his allies will be determined through a vote using the Scales of Conviction. For the player to assert their own opinion, they must convince their allies. Choices with a profound impact on the destinies of the group will likewise have a major impact on the story.
Highly strategic battles
It will be crucial to use the terrain and differences in elevation to position yourself advantageously. Enjoy satisfying and challenging battles and strategy with great depth: with the ability to select from characters with uniquely different traits in your party formation, and gameplay systems that allow flanking the enemy to perform follow-up attacks or using your allies’ abilities to coordinate attacks.
Converse with and strengthen your allies in the Encampment
In the Encampment, you can speak with allied characters and purchase goods from shops. You can also strengthen your characters and weapons at the Sundry Shop and the Smithy. Additionally, once you’ve strengthened your characters, you can put their strength to the test at the Tavern by taking part in Mental Mock Battles. These battles range from standard combat to those with somewhat unique victory conditions, allowing you to enjoy Triangle Strategy’s combat on an even deeper level.”
History
As I stated above, this game was previously a Nintendo Switch exclusive, releasing in 2022. It involves strategic battles and decision-making to shape the story. The publisher was Square Enix, co-developed by Square Enix and Artdink. It also shares a similar art style to Octopath Traveler, which is also published by Square Enix and developed by Square Enix and Acquire.
Thoughts
Well, I never did get too into the game when it first released, but the VR version might be a different story. The graphics look pretty nice, and I’m very curious to see how it all plays out. It, in some ways, reminds me of Demeo in how the battlefield is laid out and appears. Demeo is a great title and should be given a try. I had a great time with it on PSVR 2, but it is also available on the Quest.
It’s worth saying that this game totally took me by surprise when it shown up in the Meta Quest store. I practically had to do a couple of takes to confirm what I saw. With VR games being hit or miss, and personally seeing less bigger titles released for it, I was pleased to see this being brought over. Not that this title is specifically a huge one, but it’s big enough to catch some attention.
Final Words
Are you going to be grabbing this day one or maybe a little later? I’m definitely interested and I want to know more. I’ll probably personally wait until it’s available and see what reviews have to say about it. In the meantime, there was an announcement trailer out, so go check into that.
I find it cool that this is being brought to virtual reality, and I hope it does well. While virtual reality can be a fun getaway, it’s still lacking some major games to sell it. I’m not saying there aren’t games already out there that work well for it, but we need more. It also being on the Quest helps as it won’t require being hooked to a PC to play. I suppose we will just wait and see.
Until next time, happy gaming.
