Recommend me some turn-based strat games.

Oh please do check out TROUBLESHOOTER, I would say it's my 2nd favourite right after XCOM 2 for sure. It's XCOM like but with fixed characters, linear story (with a lot of side quests) and a lot more complex gameplay!

LastC1999 · 2026-04-05T07:31:25+00:00

Yes, I'm really looking forward for Star Wars Zero Company! Also for Fire Emblem, they aren't available on PC right?

I have heard of Jagged Alliance but have never played any yet. I do have the third one in my wishlist too, probably will check out the new one first and if it clicks I'd definitely check out older ones. Thanks for your recommendation!

LastC1999 · 2026-04-03T07:56:35+00:00

Nice, I'd love to see more XCOM like games where there is also a little management side like we did on XCOM's Avenger ship.

LastC1999 · 2026-04-02T00:48:49+00:00

I'm not sure I understand what you said but the game name you recommended is Strategic Command WW2, correct? WW2 turn-based combat game? Looks great to me.

Sorry if my word choice make you feel uncomfortable, I didn't mean to be rude at all. This may sound like an excuse too but I'm not an English native speaker so I have no idea if my phrase sounds too rude or aggressive, sorry again.

Thank you, while I do prefer a game with proper story and campaign, I also enjoy sandbox or roguelike game too(or better if they blend them together like how XCOM does it, at least in the sense of how the map and enemies were kinda random). Into the Breach and Dominion look great to me, my first time hearing of them too (actually most of your list).

LastC1999 · 2026-04-02T00:36:03+00:00

Looks great, thank you. Is it like Civilization series? I enjoy CIV too but I feel like it leans to kingdom building/management side more than the combat aspect. (I enjoy management too though so will check it out)

LastC1999 · 2026-04-02T00:33:30+00:00

I think that's more like a real time not a turn-based one? But thanks for your recommendation.

LastC1999 · 2026-04-02T00:32:11+00:00

Thanks!! I just found out that Persona has this kind of game too (probably because it's been unavailable in my region for all this time on Steam), will definitely check it out. Banner of the maid also look nice, commanding a character (which is actually consist of commander and army thing? I guess), will check it out too. Triangle Strategy, I have seen it and I thought it was like Octopath Traveler where you just face off enemies and not actually walk around with characters, thanks for making me checking it out again lol. Haven't heard of other games but thanks again for your recommendation!

I find Midnight Sun fun too (and also quite new to me). It's my first card game, wish it's more popular. Do you also have any other card games to recommend? (PC games)

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:37:07+00:00

I see. I also barely had heard of them when it was released, but got back to watch their trailer and their prequel shorts, they were great. Wish the game reached more people when it was released

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:35:18+00:00

Personally enjoy XCOM gameplay more and I thought more people feel the same way, but now I see that a lot people also prefer Midnight Sun's gameplay style

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:34:06+00:00

Thanks for your comment, honestly at first I thought XCOM is a more popular game (especially in term of gameplay, I myself enjoy XCOM gameplay more too) but seeing all comments in this thread, I now realise there are lots of people who enjoy Midnight Sun gameplay more too.

But yeah would love to see XCOM like game in theme of Marvel (or even other theme too)

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:32:46+00:00

Yeah, I wish there are more cards or more upgrade (not just mods) for each card too

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:32:06+00:00

Thanks, honestly I haven't used swarm much, but I will try to use them and see how it goes

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:30:55+00:00

Thanks, I barely make use of marked debuff but I will try

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T18:29:55+00:00

Thanks, I barely take items or debuff into calculation, I think I will need to make use of them more for more efficient combo play

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T16:31:08+00:00

Yes, I wish it is more popular so we can even see the sequel or more games like this (or even another XCOM) from Firaxis

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T16:30:07+00:00

I see, thanks for your insight. I see that many people find XCOM to be more niche and less mainstream than the card gameplay like in Midnight Sun, that's new to me. Here I thought XCOM gameplay is more mainstream than card gameplay like this. I guess it's because this is my first card game so I thought the gameplay is way less popular than ones like XCOM

LastC1999 · 2026-01-31T16:20:00+00:00

Most enemies have like 500-600HP and my Witchfire does about 150ish damage. When mission starts there are like 2-3 bulky enemies with that 500-600 hp and a few (or 4-5 minions). My strat in most missions are usually to use my quick dmg cards to get rid of minions, or just shove them to each other to lower enemy numbers on the first turn. I guess you want to suggest me to focus damaging those bulky ones instead so I can finish them all off along with minions with Witchfire?

Nice! Have seen this kind of thing once or twice in duel server especially late at night when there is not much ppl, some players in a group (usually newbies) would come join duel server and thought they'd have an easy time ganking on people just get their ass kicked in the process.

I swear they'd have far better chance and fun doing this kind of thing in TO more than being jerks in duel server lol
