re: Looking for a Tactical RPG

Alright boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and Justin...

I'm looking for the next game to sink some hours into and want to find a cool Tactical RPG.  I loved Final Fantasty Tactics, Shining Force, Fallout Tactics, and recently Tal got me hooked on Shadowrun Returns.

Any suggestions on any PC games I could check out that are along these lines?

A friend of mine at work recommends the new (2012) version of XCOM, called XCOM: Enemy Unknown (http://store.steampowered.com/app/200510/).

I've found that game a few times in my travels to find a new turn based / tactical RPG today.  I've also heard good things about The Banner Saga as well.

The new xcom is pretty good, it can however get kinda repetitive.   I would recommend the old xcom still it still holds up as a pretty good game, also xcom 2 terror from the deep aint bad.  I enjoyed banner saga a lot but its episodic so it is like 12 hrs worth of play might want to grab it on sell.  Great visuals art wise amd story is cool and the music overall its gives a real deep feeling haunting exp.

 

I'm still eyeing wasteland 2 just havent had much time.  Although this weekend is memorial day. So sales should be coming.

I'm eyeing up Wasteland 2 as well but I'm not prepared to shell out $60 for early access so I'ma wait.

I forgot to mention on here that everyone should grab a snes emulator and try Ogre Batttle: March of the Black Queen.  It is like a squad based real time map turn based battle system and one of my all time favorite games.  If you like it you should try Ogre Battle 64: A person of lordly caliber.  There is also a series of final fantasy tactics style ogre battle games you can probably find a sub for.

I think I found what I've been looking for...

Xenonauts Official Site

Xenonauts Steam Site

It hit version v1.0 on May 31st, and v1.01 on June 4th (stability patch and small at that) and the developers call it complete for all intents and purposes.  They should be leaving Steam Early Access shortly.  It's on my wish list, and I'll probably pick it up when I'm ready for a break from WildStar.
