So, triangle strategy?

 

[PonyStation4]

So, triangle strategy?

Triangle Strategy is a F2P gatcha game?

 

[StereoVsn]

Triangle Strategy is a F2P gatcha game?

Is this F2P? Seems like a normal SRPG.

 

[PonyStation4]

Is this F2P? Seems like a normal SRPG.

Arsic said that the game was like Triangle Strategy
PonyStation4 said that Triangle Strategy is a F2P gatcha game to infer that they are not similar games
My understanding is that PonyStation4 post meant that Sword of Convallaria is a F2P gatcha game, so it's not similar to the game Triangle Strategy

I am so confused, lol.

I am so confused, lol.

Maybe an out-of-body or account experience lol.

 

[Isa]

Doesn't look bad, but if I was willing to give a gatcha a shot it'd probably be Brown Dust 2 or whatever, or Arknights since I like the raunchy fan art it inspired. At least its on PC as well.

Yah I don’t know it was a f2p gacha.

Straight to the trash with it then.

Not sure it is. Haven’t seen anything to indicate that. But yeah, if it is then meh.

It looks like it's a F2P SRPG with gacha mechanics.



The game also has a demo up on Steam.

Edit: From the same thread - Demo progress will not be carried over to the release version.

New story trailer dropped yesterday.

Did you forget to log into your alt?

PonyStation4 what's your response to this?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The game's OST is shaping up to be something epic, but I didn't expect anything less from Hitoshi Sakimoto.

Well, it was exciting while it lasted. Into the trash it goes. Gacha can fuck off.

In the fucking garbo

F2P gatcha in SRPG…..why?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's the global unveiling livestream the devs held yesterday.

 

[STARSBarry]

F2P gatcha in SRPG…..why?

Iv just erased the fact this exists from my mind because it's now just a game designed around maximising how much money they can take from people, everything else is just window dressing.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Looks good, but being F2P means it could very well get shutdown in a year or so. The only thing left would be archived YouTube videos. What a shame.

 

[Shifty1897]

It's a shame, if it plays as good as it looks I would've dropped 60 bucks on this. Now I'm not playing it at all.

 

[SpokkX]

ok this look goo…

Wait free to play? Collect heroes?

 

[Korranator]

Demo was a lot of fun. Didn't even realize it was F2P till after I finished.

 

[Renoir]

finally this is coming out..
so confirmed production value top chart? orchestra for the music? good animation? good story?
how bad is the gatcha tho?

 

[Lunarorbit]

They know what they're doing with that thumbnail! Been playing jeanne d'arc which is decent. I had just finished fell mark so I unfortunately have been comparing the 2

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Sword of Convallaria is now out on App Store, Google Play, and Steam.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I had it downloaded then I looked to see if cross save was a thing. Saw a bunch of videos about “how to pull the best characters” and then I uninstalled the game. The feeling of spending all my time trying to get a good pull sucked all the fun out of it.

 

[Dorfdad]

Also read a review that once the gotcha kicks in your looking at a very expensive experience… I’m not supporting this kinda crap anymore. In fact I’m playing much older games I never played from my backlog which should last me till 105 years old if I just played these alone!

 

[Soodanim]

I think I had the same experience everyone else did ITT:
Game looks good
Trailer looks good
When's this out, I'll buy it
F2P? No, that post was just a confusing mess so I'll keep scrolling for confirmation
Definitely F2P, never ever touching this
That was a shame, a proper game of that would have been nice

 

[Labadal]

Played it. As long as it's not forcing me to pull characters left and right, I will continue. So far, I haven't hit a road block. As soon as I sense that I need to spend money, I'm out.

 

[Yoshichan]

holy shit
