My favorite is the original Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down. I also liked XCOM 1, Advance Wars, Ogre Battle 64, Unicorn Overlord, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and probably a few others I can’t think of right now.

What’s the one in the picture? Also, how do I read alt text on Summit?

Picture is of “Front Mission” (1995). I’ve never played or heard of it, tbh it is just taken from the Wikipedia page for tactical RPG.

caseyweederman,

Ooh, thank you. It looks cool.

Front Mission was pretty fun, and it looks like there’s a remaster available that shines it up a bit. I don’t remember much about the plot, but you build and outfit a squad of mechs, and you can specialize them for guns, or melee, or rockets or what have you.

I was a big final fantasy tactics guy back in the day. I it was my first into to tactical. RPGs, and I was already in love with final fantasy III and VII by then, so it made sense. My buddy also had Vandal Hearts and that was awesome too! Can’t say I played much more beyond that.

I love Tactical Breach Wizards, which is somewhere between Into the Breach and Invisible Inc (also amazing).

I never understood why my wife has so many shoes but some of them are in the closet and will never be worn. Then I looked at my steam library and it clicked…

I’m a weirdo, so Massive Chalice.

It has a strange high-concept premise where you are an immortal ruler defending against a monstrous army that only attacks every decade or so. Any surviving individual squad member will only be able to go on a handful of missions before aging out, so you are also managing familial bloodlines to birth new soldiers, while controlling for genetic and social traits that get passed down. I love the uniqueness and big ideas. It’s far from perfect, but you asked for favorite not the best.

My favorites are probably the Disgaea series and related games (Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave) and Tactics Ogre. I also like Tactics Ogres more popular little brother, Final Fantasy Tactics.

Disgaea was a bit too edgy and weird for me. And Too. Much. Uninteresting. Dialogue ! Fire emblem games have the same issue.

Tactics ogre looks cool ! (Does it suffer from the issue stated above ?)

zod000,

Disgaea and like are intentionally non-serious and funny. If the humor doesn’t do it for you in the slightest then it’s not for you sadly. I do have to say that once you get hooked on the series, all the other games feel like their mechanics are overly simplistic though.

And no, Tactics Ogre is all serious and very very good.

Most people don’t see it as a tactical rpg but: Baldur’s Gate 3

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, above all else.

That being said, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 1 and 2 are awesome. They combine SRPGs with the usual SMT combat - I don’t think I’ve found something similar yet.

You move around like you would in any other SRPG, then you can attack enemies in range to enter normal turn based combat - however, at most, you can only play out 2 full turns before combat ends. Afterwards the next unit moves. Each unit represents a squad of up to three characters you will be batteling with, usually a human and two demons. Depending on your squad, you may have different movement, range and abilities.

Yes. The day is full of moments. (Relevant Penny Arcade)

2 that make fans go bananas.

Torchlight 2; Grim Dawn

Right in the middle of the middle part of the middle part of the middle pack.

moonburster,

Torchlight 2 is fun when you start out, but gets really repetitive quite fast. Good fit for a right in the middle
