20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2022
20. Triangle Strategy
Platform: Nintendo Switch
For gamers of a certain age, the words "Square" and "SRPG" will evoke the warmest of smiles.
In 1997 Square Enix (then known as Squaresoft) helped define the Strategy RPG genre with the sublime Final Fantasy Tactics. Tactics' combination of staggeringly deep combat and politically-charged storyline made it one of the company's most revered games, and in 2022 Square Enix will be aiming to make us fall in love all over again with the quixotically-named Triangle Strategy.
And judging by the demo released in March of last year, they're on the right track to do just that.
Triangle Strategy looks set to be a compelling mixture of the old and new. The mind-bogglingly deep combat and plotting of Tactics has been updated with sumptuous HD artwork and modern twists, like letting your party vote on the course of action to take. (You will, of course, be able to unleash your inner Machiavelli and attempt to persuade your companions to vote for the course of action you favour).
Triangle Strategy is set to test players' wits this March, and likely for many months beyond that.
