Triangle Strategy has been quietly doing the rounds here at Nintendo Life, impressing us with its gorgeous visuals and in-depth tactical combat. And it seems like many people around the world agree with our review that it's pretty darn brilliant. You should read it in case you're still thinking about picking it up.

Producer Tomoya Asano has reported that Square Enix's latest (triangle) strategy RPG has sold 800,000 copies worldwide, and for a genre that (outside of Nintendo's Fire Emblem) doesn't seem to be as big as it once was, that's pretty impressive. The game only came out two weeks ago, too.

For comparison, Square Enix's other HD-2D game, Octopath Traveler, hit 1 million sales in three weeks, so it seems like Triangle Strategy is following a similar path to success as its cousin.

Well deserved. Great game.

Didn't believe in the game at 1st even after trying out the demos.

But I had a gut feeling to go out make a impulse purchase.Ended up deeply engrossed by the plot and have been watching every cut scene.

Most famously was the first of the new Hitman games I believe.

Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't. It's something we decide for ourselves. That's why it's the most important thing to us.

It has a slow start since there's a lot of worldbuilding but it's a great and challenging strategy game. If you played and enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics, then this is definitely worth picking up. It's meaty enough for a single playthrough (30 - 40 hours) but there are 4 different routes so the replay value is there.

I still find it difficult to get my head around this being the actual title of an AAA game. I could understand if it was an indie but...

It's a Japanese made game.

Expect funky English Titles.

This feels like it goes beyond just "lost in translation" though. It feels outright lazy.

I agree, it's such an awkward name, but the game is so good that I can't really shake my head at it. Similarly, the theme song goes so hard that I can't stay mad at the lyrics, as silly as they are:

Waiting out a Target B2G1 or something, along with Kirby and an unknown third game.
Nintendo is publishing, so it's stuck at full price essentially forever, outside of retailer deals like that.

800k seems like a really good number for the game. I bet there are other people like me waiting for the inevitable PC release like they did with Octopath and Bravely Default 2.

Walmart is selling it for $49.

The game is great though. Has a very grounded and mature plot, choices actually matter, the battle system is very reminiscent of Tactics and Ogre Battle, etc. Definitely one of the sleeper hits for the year.

Bravely Default 2 had the same publishing situation (Square in Japan, Nintendo World Wide) and it got released on PC.

@Lairen

Square Enix strategy rpg similar to Final Fantasy Tactics. Triangle is because of 3 nations at war, and also every choice you make in the plot has 3 options, representing 3 concepts

Morality
Practicality
Liberty

You always choose an option that is for one of those, and it changes the story and how your friends feel, and even who your friends are

I want to play it. I have a backlog of stuff on my 3DS right now because I got a few things before the store closes down. There was a massive sale in December and I got some of the SMT games for super cheap. I bought the last two that I hadnt played yet, so I want to finish SMTIV and then play them first. While Im in SMT mode, I may replay DIgital Sevil Saga.

So long,
Thanks for all the fish!
