The reviews highlight a stark contrast in storytelling quality between the two games. "Triangle Strategy" is praised for its deep narrative and extensive dialogue, though some players desire a more combat-focused experience. In contrast, "Mercenaries Lament" is criticized for its simplistic and generic story, with some reviewers finding it lacking in depth compared to other tactical games, despite a more engaging combat system.
- “I'll be playing through it again with the 'new game+' type option to experience the alternate story path, and I generally don't do that with games.”
- “You will be presented with a menu for managing your party, a shop, and a map screen that allows you to pick a 'story' battle to progress the game or 'free' battle to grind.”
- “Triangle Strategy had a deep story, tons of dialogue, and some basic exploration.”
- “First of all, story: there basically isn't one.”
- “There's very bare bones generic fantasy plot beats and nothing beyond that.”
- “If you don't like story, hey, that's awesome, but most tactics games like Fire Emblem/Triangle Strategy tend to tell decent to really good stories, so for me, it's yet another let down.”
