Top 20 Best Nintendo Switch Turn-Based Tactical RPGs 2023 Edition

Күн бұрын

Tactical RPGs - TRPGs for short - add an extra layer of depth to the standard RPG combat formula. While you’ll still be leveling up a team of heroes and using their abilities to defeat your foes in a tactical RPG, you’ll also have to contend with positioning on the map! By taking advantage of the battle’s layout, you can isolate enemies, hold choke points, or even use the terrain to take cover from attacks.
TRPGs are great for players who want a game they can consistently pick up and put down - a twenty-minute battle on the train to work, for example. This makes them perfect for portable consoles like the Nintendo Switch, where they’re particularly popular. If you’re planning to use your switch to command troops and win glory on the field, these games will make great additions to your library!

Nice! While there'd be quite a few games I'd add to the list there now were only games I havent yet played or have played and liked; no games that I jave played and not liked (ok, Banner Saga and Valkyrie Chronicles I didnt give a fighting chance back in the days) but the most wow factor for me was the forst snippets of Front Mission remakes I saw. I still remember loving the Front Mission 3 on Playstation 1 back in the days nut mever expected the remakes to look so fresh. Definitely putting them on my radar with quite a bit of other ones I already had written down on my to-play list.

Hello im interested in the dungeon of naheulbeuk the amulet of chaos but i heard there are a lot of problems on switch. Does anyone know if they patched up?

Excellent, excellent video! My first time ever playing TBS games go back to the GBA playing “Tactics Ogre: Knights Of Lodis“, Final Fantasy Tactics” and “Advanced Wars”. After playing those games I have been a huge fan of the genre whether on the screen, or on a table. With that said I have to say Tactics Ogre is my top fave on the list, but wish that skirmish mode was added. Thanks again for the video 👍🏾

The Mercenaries games are so great. Very accessible too. They deserve alot more praise.

@MidnightBlackandVictoria 5 ай бұрын

They are great for newcomers. But veterans like myself and many others are hoping for something more expansive, deep, and challenging. 3 houses was incredible, but we don't get them like that very often in this genre. Unicorn Overlord looks VERY promising. Because veterans are ready to handle huge rosters and complex mechanics. Far to many TRPGs and SRPGs are a bit too simplified to make them accessible to newcomers, but because of that, vets rarely see anything they haven't already seen. A good example of what vets are looking for was ALMOST made on the PC (A game called glorius companions that allowed parties up to 30 at a time, with branching classes and skill trees and high difficulty, but it was sadly abandoned by its creators. Heres hoping there are devs out there who remember the veterans and make something massive, detailed, and expansive sooner rather than later. And I know people love the pixel art-games, but something more visual like three houses or Lost Eidolons are also sorely needed.

@MidnightBlackandVictoria Have you checked out Redemption Reapers? The gameplay isn't that complicated, but it has a fun combo element to it, and the visuals and presentation are excellent. The OST is especially amazing.

I'm currently loving Fell Seal with its expansion, and I'm at the 55 hour mark. It really helped mem scratch an itch of a new Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for a fair price until Triangle Strategy and Tactics Ogre come to GOG (they probably never will, but a man can dream, and enjoy Fell Seal a lot).

@TurnBasedLovers 5 ай бұрын

Personally I don't like the graphic style of Fell Seal, but it does have a solid class and skills mechanics.

Fell Seal is WAAAAAAAY better than Triangle Strategy and A LOT more similar to FFT if you disregard the graphic style.

@@NicoBlackXIV maybe i have to give this another Go. Back then (3 yrs?) it felt tedious and pretty Lackluster. Classes have been fun and reminded me of good old FFT. Yet the Story was Not existent (thus 0 Character development). And the drowning mechanic sucked ass, especially on Higher difficulties when enemies have teleport.

Can’t they just port Tactics to switch already, and give us online multiplayer, so we can battle each other 5v5…and maybe even give us some extra content, make it worthwhile and exciting…I’d pay $60 for that…he’ll, i would consider $70 for that…

Please let's stop pretending Triangle Strategy doesn't shame FFT while embarrassing itself with abysmal progression and frustrating sub-systems. Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is the better (and more faithful) successor to FFT by a fucking landslide. The more y'all pretend Triangle Strategy isn't a bloody disappointment, the less likely it is that we'll ever get the FFT successor we want and deserve.

@NicoBlackXIV 5 ай бұрын

@gitjiggybruh Which is absolutely fine. To an extent I liked it too, it's objectively a good game. Still it cannot be anything better than a disappointing for anyone that's still hoping for worthy FFT successor. Progression is a big thing for TRPGs and this game doesn't have any.

@HonestEmillHead 5 ай бұрын

Triangle is a clasic jrpg with a tactic combat if you look out that way its a great game the problem is that every one puts it as a succesor of fft when cant be more diferent than this one
