Brings what grabs you about Ground Pounders: turn-based combat, tactical depth and a sci-fi setting.

A turn-based 4X strategy game in the Warhammer 40,000 universe where you lead Space Marines, Orks, Necrons or the Astra Militarum across a contested planet. Each faction plays very differently, with its own units, heroes and tech tree.

Frozen Synapse

Turn-based combat

Frozen Synapse is a tactical strategy game where you plan your squad's orders and both sides execute their turns simultaneously. You predict enemy moves in a sleek neon-minimal look, making every round a tense, puzzle-like duel of wits.

Frozen Cortex

Turn-based combat

A tactical futuresport game where both sides plan their moves simultaneously and then watch them play out. Randomly generated arenas and outguessing your opponent make for tense, brainy duels.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactical battles against alien invaders where cover, positioning and class abilities decide the outcome. Between missions you manage your base, research and funding, and fallen soldiers are gone for good.

Apes Warfare

Co-op or multiplayer

A turn-based strategy game where you lead an ape army of varied units across changing battlefields. It offers a solo campaign alongside online battles against other players.

Interplanetary

Turn-based combat

A turn-based artillery strategy game set in space, where you develop home planets and fire railguns, missiles and beam weapons while accounting for gravity wells. Plotting shots around planets and moons turns every attack into a small physics puzzle.

Xenonauts

Deep systems to master

A turn-based tactics and strategy game set in the Cold War, where you run a multinational military force against an alien invasion, command squads on the ground, intercept UFOs and research captured tech. A modern homage to classic X-COM.

Star General

Turn-based combat

A 1996 turn-based space strategy game based on David Drake's The Fleet sci-fi series. You command fleets in tactical battles, though my knowledge of the game is limited.
