Hogs of War

Right now, I guess Pokémon counts?

I used to enjoy an Angry Birds spin-off called “Epic”, that was one of the better ones.

Divinity Original Sin. Old 80s RPGs

Lately I have been really enjoying mewgenics. Very deep game

I usually don’t like turn-based combat at all, but I still enjoyed Clair Obscur, simply because it’s an amazing game otherwise. I found the battles to be a bit repetitive after a while, but it was still kinda fun.

X-COM. CRPGs. Pathfinder, BG. Have Ledgerbound and the new FF on the line. The last turn based was Zero Company.

Turn based, visual novels or some light hack and slash games are my usual poison.

So I’ve only seen a couple hours of gameplay (watching a friend stream it). But Jeanne d’Arc seems pretty interesting. More of a tactical turn-based RPG.

NetHack

I’ve been playing Disgaea which is really solid.

Golden Sun is my favorite turn-based system of all time. It gets really deep without being too complex to understand. You can get really creative, I always respecced Mia to be a DPS with volcano attacks instead of a water healer like she’s supposed to be. And once you know what you’re doing, you can change character class in the middle of battle.

The original Persona 3 combat system was also really good. If you played P3P or P3Re, it’s not the same. P3 and P3FES are the only ones with the original “one more” system. They ruined it in 4, bloated it in 5, and bloated it beyond recognition in P5R.

Seriously, nobody plays Dragonquest here? Not even 11?

Birth of the Federation

(Most of my other ones have been said already)

I recently played Chained Echoes, and it was alright for being a fairly blatant Chrono Trigger/SNES era Final Fantasy ripoff. Decent combat, great sprite work, ridiculous story. JRPGs used to be my favorite genre, then they kinda went to shit IMO. They are making something of a comeback with people my age being nostalgic about the good ones making similarly good ones again.

The first Fallout games. Turn based isometric top down RPG.

They were awesome stories and I spent hours finding as much backstory as I could. By reading and searching every location.

XCOM (most enjoyed Enemy Within, with Long War, other versions also generally good), just a masterpiece.

Into the Breach, probably the cleanest, and a great theme.

Lots of deck-ish based battlers: Slay the Spire (1 and 2), Backpack Hero, Monster Train

The Last Spell, Battle Brothers

Lots of D&D or adjacent stuff that board/tabletop-like: Balder’s Gate 3, Gloomhaven/Frosthaven.

Edit: Wasteland series and Shadowrun series also great.

I generally prefer turn based, so no specific game
