SteamWorld Heist

Turn-based combat

Side-view turn-based tactics where you aim shots by hand, bounce bullets off walls and use cover to board enemy spaceships with your robot crew. A charming steampunk space look, with hats as a trademark.

Metal Slug Tactics

Tactical depth

The arcade classic Metal Slug becomes a turn-based tactics roguelite: you position your squad on grid maps, exploit dodging and chain attacks, and craft new builds each run. The charming pixel art and slapstick war tone remain intact.

Invisible, Inc.

Tactical depth

A turn-based stealth tactics game where you guide a small team of agents through procedurally generated corporate facilities while a ticking clock pressures you. Every move matters, since mistakes can permanently cost you agents.

XCOM: Chimera Squad

Turn-based combat

A compact XCOM spin-off where you lead a squad of humans, aliens and hybrids through turn-based breach-and-clear missions in a tense city. The interleaved turn system and each agent's unique abilities make for fresh tactical decisions.

Metal Gear Acid 2

Tactical depth

A tactical Metal Gear spin-off where every action is driven by cards. Turn-based stealth missions with deck management and a cel-shaded look deliver plenty of tactical depth.

Echo Generation 2

Turn-based combat

A sci-fi deckbuilding RPG where you gather a crew, build card decks and fight your way across the stars to get home. It likely carries over the charming, stylized look and tone of its predecessor.

Cosmic Star Heroine

Turn-based combat

A pixel-art sci-fi JRPG inspired by Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star, following agent Alyssa as she uncovers a galactic conspiracy across several planets. Its snappy turn-based combat rewards smart use of special moves, wrapped in a witty, stylish story.

Floppy Knights

Tactical depth

Floppy Knights blends grid-based turn-based tactics with card game mechanics: you build decks, summon knights from floppy disks, and solve battles almost like small puzzles. Its bright, witty style and charming characters set it apart.

Mech Armada

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactics meets deckbuilding and roguelike structure: you build a team of mechs as a deck and defend Earth against the Swarm in compact, tense battles.
