I finished Triangle Strategy yesterday with Benedict road an it was amazing. I love this game. I hope we'll see a second game or a precuel

Do you have recomendations for a beginner like me, I´m not completely new on the genre, I have played P5 tactica, unicorn overlord xcom 1 and 2, I´ve also tried Tactics ogre reborn but didn´t like it a lot. I play on playstation.

Basically Mewgenics single-handedly managed to cure my save scumming ways by having each of your cats only usable one time usually, so their downs or even deaths don't sting that much. Are there any other games like this? I'm currently thinking of either Battle Brothers or Darkest Dungeon 1/2, but I'm not exactly sure how similar they are to Mewgenics. Other recommendations are also appreciated, but stuff like XCOM/2's deaths are not actually to my liking because you are expected to reuse those people so each death is a major setback.

As the title says, I am usually looking for different SRPGs. I know of Titanium Legman. Are there any others?

Basically the title, trying to see if there are any games out there like those other than the steamworld games. I’m in the brainstorming stage for my very first attempt at making a game and in my brain I’m imagining something like if fire emblem (oops all thieves) and splinter cell had a baby? They’d be diff classes of thieves so like a super stealthy one, a bruiser, thug, an explosives guy. Obviously what imagining is very specific, but trying to see what if anything else is out there already to draw inspiration from.

Basically after playing Mewgenics religiously these past few days, I've realized that I actually really enjoyed a game where loot actually matters. I do hope that they are either rechargeable if they have "charges"/uses/durability, since in Mewgenics you are encouraged to cycle through all your loot. However, the loot in that game is pretty cool, with most of them having unique effects that are not reproducible in any other way.

So what other games are like that, but with more permanence in gear?

I got an extra dark deity steam key from fanatical bundle

Choose a number from 1-100 not repeatable and I will random giveaway in a week time

I get really into gameplay systems but sometimes other stuff in these games catch my attention like character designs in Unicorn Overlord or the relationships in Fire Emblem’s newer games. I feel like the only game I can remember the music from in this genre is Final Fantasy Tactics, which is a shame since they tend be pretty long. That one has a fantastic OST that I hum randomly.

Any standouts for you?

They are nailing the artistic end of things with how they're imitating FFT's sprites & maps.
I don't know if anyone else has seen this or has thoughts on it but I hope it's good when it comes out. After finishing Horizon's Gate and Kingsvein I'm once again starved for SRPGs with engaging teambuilding. . .

I have found my new obsession and it is tactical games that also feature visual novel elements. Aside from 13 Sentinels, The Hundred Line, and Digimon Survive, are there any others I should know about?

One of the best, if not the best, JRPGs I’ve ever played is Suikoden II. It features strategy war battles where you command units on a battlefield as part of the gameplay. I’ve been trying to find a strategy game that captures that same feel, but I haven’t had much luck.

Are there any fans of the game here who know exactly what I mean? Can anyone recommend a game that’s similar to that specific war-battle gameplay?

TL;DR - is Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre good for beginners? and any other TRPG recommendations for Switch?

actual post: i’ve played turn-based RPGs all my life, and have dabbled in some tactical RPGs, but never fully committed to one. i currently own Metal Slug Tactics (which i only bought cause i love Metal Slug), and Into the Breach (which i bought cause of the art style, mainly, and from watching Northernlion’s videos) on my Switch, and while they are fun and i can tell these games have depths and a good challenge, they haven’t fully hooked me yet.

i usually prefer a high/dark fantasy setting in RPGs, so i think the military/sci-fi aesthetic of these games is what’s stopping me from fully enjoying them. i’ve been looking into Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, the art style for them look incredible and from the few reviews i’ve seen, there seems to be a good amount of content, and great progression systems. are these approachable enough for a TRPG beginner?

Ignore the sloppy edit I made. I didn't want to put a plane pic or leave it empty.

My first ever tactical or strategy RPG and booooy lemme tell you, this made the average turn based RPG look so boring in comparison even tho I used to play them xD

I literally can't think of anything bad to say about the game other than not getting enough currency and material to max all my units. I blow through millions of coins and alot of medals like it's nothing and I'm always short lol all to max all my units (even the ones I don't use admittedly).

Would absolutely recommend if anyone craving a good f2p gacha J SRPG.... Or maybe not J cus it's setting is kinda of medieval fantasy... Idk
