The Wind and Wilting Blossom 62 hours played Games with an FTL-style map system are not exactly unusual, and there are even a few with tactical turn-based systems , but none of them quite compare to the quality of The Wind and Wilting Blossom.
My review 4. Fae Tactics hours played Fae Tactics gets credit for both a tight and effective story and some of the most entertaining and interesting boss fights I have seen.

Between raising and contributing to their nation, the player also must deal with politics and having to choose between using diplomacy to create alliances with other nations or wage war. Is it hard to get into? Yes, but like the many Civilization games of the past , once the game's mechanics are learned, players will likely become engaged with the real-life plots and intense strategic battles that the franchise is known for.
Among the plethora of Final Fantasy spin-off games, Final Fantasy Tactics stands out as one of the more innovative and engaging entries in the venerable series. For many, this was how gamers got their start with tactical warfare, with the first game set in the world of Ivalice, connecting it to the continuity of Final Fantasy XII.
Fans of classic mainline of Final Fantasy games can still enjoy this spin-off since it keeps many combat and ability mechanics from Final Fantasy but implements it into isometric battlefields. Instead of a party system, the player controls each character across the field in an XCOM style.
The XCOM series helped popularize the genre of turn-based tactics by making it both fun and accessible to new and seasoned strategy players. The sequel to Enemy Unknown, simply titled XCOM 2 , takes what the previous game did so well and refined it to make a sequel that is often considered the best game in the long-running series. XCOM 2 adds more challenges, more soldier abilities, more enemy types, and an even longer campaign. It can be even more unfair to the player than the first game but the more refined gameplay combined with the plethora of mods on PC can hook anyone, even those that never played the previous entry.
From movies to shows to games to comic books, there is not much that she does not enjoy or appreciate. Melody is also an aspiring film writer and director as well as a voice actor as a hobby. This spark for content creation came from her childhood, growing up with media of all kinds which inspired her to write short stories, write comics, and begin writing about them on the internet.
Melody's biggest inspiration came from first seeing Zack Snyder's Watchmen in ; the film combined with her knowledge of how scenes were done via behind-the-scenes featurettes prior to the film's release made her fall in love with filmmaking. There is some role-playing, but not much—most of the game focuses on tactical combat. The player has access to Squires and Chemists , which are the root classes of the fighter classes and spell-casting classes. As your units gain levels, you can change them to newer, and better, classes.
Some of the better classes are Summoners, Samurai, and Ninjas. The battles take place on a 3D battlefield, and the player is forced to keep factors like elevation in mind when planning.
Developed by tri-Ace and published by Sega for the PS3 and Xbox , Resonance of Fate is a squad-based game with interesting control mechanics.
Resonance of Fate is a cross between real-time action and turn-based strategy games, and surprisingly the end result works well.
Each of your characters moves on their turn, with every action costing a certain amount of action points. The player controls the characters directly instead of just issuing commands. Phantom Doctrine is different than the other games on this list in that the player is not a battlefield commander. In this game, the player instead takes on the role of a spymaster.
From the world map view that is the main screen, the player monitors the movements of enemy agents across the world. The player can then send their own agents to spy on the enemy. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is as much of a role-playing game as it is a squad-based strategy game , but these two genres are frequently blended together successfully. In Original Sin 2, the player can create up to four characters for their party, and, during battle, they have complete control of them.
The game has vibrant, colorful graphics and plenty of eye-candy in the form of spell effects and well-animated character models. The original is still very much worth playing, however, and has features not included in the modern offerings. It is up to the player to manage their soldiers and scan the globe for alien activity to combat.
The XCOM franchise also includes a little base management into the mix, as well. This time, the base is not an underground bunker though—it is a flying battle carrier. There are a lot of fans of the Fire Emblem franchise reading this and thinking I only included this title because it was recently released. Many consider Fire Emblem: Awakening for the Nintendo 3DS to be the best of the franchise, and indeed it is an extremely good game.
To be honest, using a stylus to play this type of game was surprisingly intuitive. Three Houses is so much better in nearly every way, though, and we are just now getting to know the game. There are so many story-lines running through the characters of the three houses that one playthrough is not enough to experience all this game has to offer. I have conducted scholarly research on, and written about, the use of ballooning for reconnaissance purposes during the U.
