I really love the whole presentation and much of the gameplay of the “2D in 3D” games such as the original Octopath Traveler (haven’t played 2 yet) and Triangle Strategy. Triangle Strategy especially really brought a lot to the strategy RPG table (generally my favorite genre) and I’m surprised at how little it was talked about even if it was well regarded and sold out of almost all my local game retailers from pre-orders alone on launch day (though that could have also been those game shops not ordering many copies thinking it wouldn’t sell well).

Yeah Triangle Strategy was crazy good. Only did 1 playthrough but can’t wait to do more and see another end.

Have to try Octopath.

I am a bit torn on triangle strategy, I don’t think it works very well for it.

Yeah, the style is kind of charming, but the blur effect really makes the map hard to read at times, and it’s not a very good thing for a tactical game.

Also, the diorama style maps with huge height differences mostly mean I am constantly struggling with the camera to have a complete view of them. And for some reason you can’t even adjust the camera when it’s the AI’s turn, so regularly they’re stuck with some absurd camera angle and basically unwatchable.
