Lembot_0003, do games w What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?

Commandos was super cool. But I suppose it is too difficult by modern standards. Not a RPG though…

codexarcanum,

Commandos to me is the start of a different lineage of real-time tactical stealth games, which goes on to include Desperados, Shadow Tactics, and Shadow Gambit (yes, most of those were made by the same team).

Outside of the OGRE-alikes (FO Tactics, FF Tactics, Disgea, and so on) some other options for tactical games that are a little different:

  • Nexus: The Jupiter Incident - sort of a 4X game mixed with tactics, or like Homeworld with a lot fewer units
  • Myth: The Fallen Lords (and sequels) - classic pre-Halo Bungie titles that mix RPG and strategy. Somewhat defining for the RTS genre too.
  • UFO: Aftershock and sequels - a series that tried to revive XCom before Firaxis rebooted it. Not as good, but pretty interesting and fun, a little easier than old school xcom but not as polished as the newer ones.
  • Cannon Fodder - a UK classic, very arcadey but very fun and lighter than all these other “serious” games
Lembot_0003,

Yeah, I remember Cannon Fodder. It was rather difficult as I remember. Nice game… Do we have a remake?

It has that iconic theme music:

The only game that I’ve ever played like this is SNES’ game Ball Bullet Gun, it was like 12 yeas ago. It doesn’t have a story. You make your team, and play against another player. Playing it alone is kinda boring.

Just can’t beat The Shining Force games. Can’t.

This is probably more subjective than best/worst. So…

Vanilla Skyrim.

It was a fun game, but the main quest was so railroading.

My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,

Currently playing Tactical Breach Wizards. It's not really "hardcore" the way XCOM is, which suits my lifestyle right now.

I’m not wasting money, I’m just a VERY patient gamer.

anyone else enjoying watching your favorite streamers play this absolute steamer of a game? i hate how much i savor the rare release of a high-budget, overhyped flop.

Edit: Do you ever think about buying games like this, just to say thank you to the dev for giving you hours of hilarious streams? Like obviously support the streamer first if you can only afford to support one of them, but at a certain discount, the price feels like fair compensation for all that unintended entertainment.

mohab,

I watched the highlights of dunkey's stream the other day and laughed out loud a number of times, TBF.

theangriestbird,

that stream killed me, dude knows how to make hilarious hay out of any shit pile

Well, now I can only think of being Sherlock Holmes battling bioweapons, and I fear you’ve set me up for disappointment!

I like the disgaea series not only because of the deep systems involved, but also just because gameplay is so snappy. So many SRPGs are slow as molasses in terms of interface. I also really enjoyed Unicorn Overlord recently.

Hogwarts Legacy

FFTactics like others was my favorite.

I quite enjoyed into the breach.

I bought a couple of tactics like games on steam and they all dont seem to be fun to me. I guess I like to grind a bit on fair but punishing tactics titles.
