Square Enix's New Tactical RPG Is Deeper Than Pixel Art Nostalgia
10.3.2022
When I first saw the trailer for Square Enix’s new tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, I was excited about scratching my Fire Emblem itch (very normcore of me, I know). But now that I’m actually playing it, I’ve found that it’s more often reminding me of another game I love. After a...
