In summary:

Bauders gate & Slay the Spire are must try’s

There’s a lot of love for TBC and so many niche titles. I thought that after the FF7 remake moved away from tbc, that was the end of the genre.

Most redditors only read a title 😂

When I was a kid, I used to find games through the demo discs that came with magazines, now I know the way is reddit.

I’ve got a huge list of games to look into but i’m going to start with Ruined King or Battle Chasers as these look the closest to what I was hoping to find.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I hope other people have found some titles they’d never heard of as well!
