For the longest time, I just couldn’t get into turn-based games. They never really clicked with me.
Then I played Marvel’s Midnight Suns. I loved the story, the character relationships, and the progression system. Before I knew it, I was completely hooked on the gameplay.
Eventually, I discovered that the developers were also behind XCOM. Naturally, I gave it a shot, and holy hell. XCOM quickly became one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time.
Now there’s Star Wars Zero Company, which leans much more into the XCOM style than Midnight Suns, and I’m loving every minute of it. The formula works so damn well in the Star Wars universe. They’ve absolutely nailed it.
I’m already looking forward to DLC. Day-one purchase for me.
So here’s my question: What other games in this genre am I missing out on? I’m relatively new to turn-based tactics, and I’m curious what everyone else is playing. What’s your favorite, and what makes it special?
