  • Turn-based combat
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Tactical depth

You slip through locked digital sectors as a hacker, cracking data with siphons and fighting with progs in tense turn-based runs. Every run is a risky dash for the exit, because getting caught means permanent deletion.

X-COM: UFO Defense

Turn-based combat

The legendary tactics classic pairs tense turn-based squad missions against aliens with global base building, research and tight budget management. Soldiers die permanently, and every strategic decision can save or doom humanity.

Quasimorph

Turn-based combat

A punishing turn-based extraction roguelike set in grim sci-fi horror: you send clone after clone of a mercenary into infested ships to loot and survive, while managing your own vessel between runs.

Master of Orion

Turn-based combat

A founding classic of the 4X genre: as an immortal emperor you guide an alien race, explore the galaxy, research technologies and manage planets. Diplomacy, fleet battles and expansion decide who rules the stars.

X-COM: Terror From the Deep

Challenging difficulty

The notoriously punishing sequel to UFO Defense moves the alien war to the ocean depths, combining base building and research with turn-based squad missions against Lovecraftian sea horrors. Its creepy atmosphere and brutal difficulty made it a cult classic.

Jupiter Hell

Turn-based combat

A turn-based sci-fi roguelike with Doom-style carnage, where you fight through demon-infested moon bases using shotguns, chainsaws and careful positioning. Every move counts, and permadeath keeps the tension high.

UnderRail

Strong character progression

A punishing old-school isometric RPG set in a post-apocalyptic underground subway world, built around turn-based tactical combat and highly flexible character builds. Exploration, crafting and meaningful choices shape your survival.
