TURN BASED. Strategy & Tactics games Wikia



Welcome to the TURN BASED. Strategy & Tactics games.
They can be TBT (Turn Based Tactics), TBS (Turn Based Strategies), SRPG (Strategy Role Playing Games), TRPG (Tactical Role Playing Games) , Turn Based Roguelikes etc...

They all have 4 game mechanics in common:
 * unit organization (for example a grid, radius),
 * positioning and movement (be able to Backstab and Flank),
 * turned based (or pausable) and
 * have a tactical battle layer.

I like this definition:

“Tactical turn-based combat is a form of combat found in games in which the combat is turn-based and emphasizes thoughtful placement and usage of the player’s units. Combat in this style is typically fought on a grid map that governs character placement and movement ranges. To succeed in battle, players must move their units into advantageous positions and use the combined power and skills of their units in order to defeat the enemy or achieve other objectives.

Notable franchises that include this gameplay type include Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, Nintendo Wars, X-Com and Jagged Alliance.”
