The bros and I typically play big brain puzzle games co-operatively. At least in some form/fashion even if its just discord voice chat.

Was wondering if Troubleshooter was a good Parsec game. Each player is 'responsible' for x amount of characters, etc. Worked well with OwlCat's WotR.

Any good RPGs that have a good party and class customization and something like where party members form relationships or have interactions with each other.

This is a remaster of an old Korean game.

Support for various languages ​​will be added later.

The war of genesis

Rhapsody of Zephyr

西風の狂詩曲(ラプソディー)

Big fan of Xcom 2. I've played through (and loved) BG3, DoS2, Pillars 2, Rogue Trader, Unicorn Overlord and Valkyria Chronicles. In the past I loved FF Tactics and a couple of the FE games.

Currently waiting for ZCom to go on sale just cause I'm too stubborn to ever buy a game for full price. I've had my eye on Jagged Alliance 3 and Lost Eidolons as they go on sale fairly often. Phantom Doctrine also looks cool but it seems the YouTube reviewers I tend to watch weren't big fans of it. If y'all have any games I should check out and add to my wishlist if very much appreciate you naming them.

Back when I had my PC I thought Symphony of War Nephilim Saga was theost addicting thing ever, anything other than Unicorn that might scratch that same itch perhaps?

Thanks I'm advance or sorry if this isn't the type of post for this sub. Haven't been here long.

Hi everyone,

Been playing the new start wars zero company and enjoying it. Looking to maybe buy XCom afterwards.

Note, I have bought it before, but just tried it for an hour or so but didn't feel it then and did the steam refund.

So, I'm thinking of giving it another chance after I complete Zero Company, but my question is, are both games (and expansions) worth it or should I only get the second?

Thanks in advance ;)

They're my favorite classes in anything! Currently, I'm enjoying a classic I picked up today: SHINING FORCE and really appreciate Hans and Tao.

Would love your recommendations for SRPGs with great archery and mage gameplay. Thanks!

I played through Fire Emblem Thracia 776 with save states at the start of each round and a spoiler-free guide. Playing it that way, it was a lot more fun than I expected. I loved the brisk story, explosive combat, strong unit identity, and memorable item design.

The story has just enough text to establish purpose and direction, without bogging me down with endless cutscenes. It just says where we're going and who needs to die.

The combat doesn't waste time. Everytime a weapon is drawn, somebody is gonna fucking die. The pursuit critical system sees to that. The more characters trade blows in a duel, the more likely somebody is to get a crit and break the stalemate.

I loved the interplay between units and items in Thracia. Lots of room for player expression in terms of when you use Hammerne, Thief, Berserk, Grafcalibur, Vouge, etc. I've played a lot of SRPGs where everybody feels weak and useless until they get a few level ups, but Thracia has characters who can get shit done right away. Osian with Vouge, Finn with Brave Lance, Leif with Light Brand, Dagdar capturing shit with Halvan's Brave Axe, etc. The most satisfying part of Thracia for me was seeing somebody like Osian or Mareeta go from characters carried by their Prf. weapons to destroyers of worlds with just an iron weapon.

But then Thracia has a bunch of bullshit I would prefer to never see again. Those harsh fog of war chapters can fuck right off. The accuracy is way too low with 1 roll and limited buffing options. It's downright malicious how easily missable Asbel is for how crucial he is as a magic nuke. Some of the gaidens feel like punishments rather than rewards.

Are there any turn-based SRPGs that capture what I liked about Thracia without the parts that annoyed me about Thracia? Berwick Saga is absolutely not it- I'm about 4 hours in and the combat is a lot of swing-and-miss stalemates. The Morrow's Golden Country came pretty close, but I felt it had a slower start than Thracia. Osian kicks ass as soon as you get him to that one house. Everyone in tbe early TMGC crew needs multiple level ups to start popping.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone!

I’m new here, and the title pretty much says it all. I’m a huge fan of strategy and RPG games, especially party-based and turn-based ones.

So far, I’ve played a ton of games, including Warcraft III, Crusader Kings II and III, and quite a few Total War titles.

When it comes to RPGs, some of my absolute favorites are World of Warcraft, Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and XCOM.

I’m always looking for new games to dive into, so I’d love to hear your recommendations! Based on the games I’ve enjoyed so far, what do you think I should try next?

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and getting to know everyone here!

Lowkey I hate pc gaming

Strategists - We are allowing self-promotion of your games and mods in this post only. This will be limited to SRPGs, as that is the subreddit, so please keep this in mind.

Limit your game to one post. We don't want spam. Feel free to post your game again if you posted last month.

Be respectful. This goes for devs and non-devs. There is a good way to give and take criticism. Normal rules apply.

Don't self-promote outside of this post.

If you are irresponsible, your post will be removed. If this becomes a hassle, we will not give the opportunity to self-promote again.

 It’s a question I’ve been asking myself for a while.

I’m a fairly experienced gamer, especially when it comes to tactical RPGs, so I know my perspective is likely biased. Many things seem obvious to me simply because I’ve seen them in dozens of other games.

But do new players really need tutorials for every basic interaction?

I’m thinking of things like:

"Use the directional keys to move."
"Position yourself next to an enemy and select 'Attack' to launch an attack."
"A potion restores HP."
The step-by-step explanation of standard menu options or controls.

Obviously, mechanics that are unusual, complex, or unique to a specific game need to be explained somehow. I’m not suggesting throwing players into the deep end without any explanation.

What I wonder is whether very basic mechanics really require explicit tutorial prompts, or if most players—including beginners—can figure much of it out naturally through the interface, experimentation, context, and observing what happens on screen.

As an experienced player, I find it hard to pinpoint exactly where to draw the line.

Do beginners actually benefit from tutorials explaining these very basic elements, or do games sometimes tend to over-explain out of fear that players might miss something?

Where would you personally draw the line between what needs to be explicitly taught and what the player should be able to discover on their own?

I’d particularly love to hear from people who don’t usually play tactical RPGs or strategy games.

Hey, just saw this released and haven't seen anyone posting about it. Original games somewhat inspired by Shining Force don't come around very often (if ever). I've been following this one since the beginning, and while I didn't feel like everything clicked with me, I'm curious to see what they did with it as 'm sure other people here might as well.

It just release on Steam Early Access and is called Aegis Force: The Scorian War. It is 22.49. I have no affiliation with this game BTW. I just downloaded it and want to try it tonight.

I'll come clear right away: I didn't know it was a rogue lite. I thought it was a regular tactics game. And for me a tactic x rogue lite game doesn't work at all. I'm still stuck in the first area and it's just so tedious doing the same missions over and over again just to get to the first boss. Where the focus is on running, not fighting. Again, entirely my fault for not watching review videos in advance, but man, I'm so disappointed.

It didn't help that I felt bombarded by all the different abilities/shops/interfaces/tutorials at the beginning. Maybe I getting old lol.

Hi all. I’m looking for games similar to Heroes of History, DC Worlds Collide, GoT Dragonfire, Legacy of Lithas etc.

The only requirements I have is that it is not a pixel art game and that the game is new(er) so I don’t start near the bottom and have years of work to catch up with the leaderboards.

Would love to hear your suggestions :)

I'm playing Vandal hearts now and I'm amazed by the strategical depth of the maps! I have played many tactical games but this game is unrivaled on how you must use your environment and mind to win a stage! This must be the king of all tacticals! Please tell me that some devs has observed this and tried to recreate this kind of strategical depth maps to other games!

I don't want similar games suggestions but almost identical game suggestions! And please keep the usual tactics ogre, fft, triangle strategy, disgaea I have played all these! If I was a game creator I would devote myself to produce 10 games exactly like this but in this modern graphics era!

I’d love one of something like Sailor Moon or Resident Evil

Originally released in Japan in 1992, VIXEN 357 is a tactical mecha RPG that never received an official Western release. After more than 30 years, it finally has an official English physical edition.

It’s now in stock, so if you missed the pre-order, there are copies available again.

The game is fully playable on original Mega Drive/Genesis hardware and compatible systems.

For anyone who enjoys obscure 90s Japanese strategy RPGs, this is definitely one worth checking out. https://shinyuden.com/en/product/vixen-357/
