  • Turn-based combat
  • A party of several characters
  • Tactical depth

A turn-based tactics game with randomly generated maps and three odd, asymmetrical factions. You can mix units across factions to invent new strategies, making for endless single-player runs.

Eldrador Creatures

Fantasy setting

A turn-based tactics game aimed at younger players, set in Schleich's Eldrador fantasy universe. You pick one of four creature factions and fight across lava, ice, rock and jungle regions for the magic sword while growing your army.

Smash It Wild

Turn-based combat

A turn-based hybrid of volleyball and dodgeball set in a fantasy world, where you upgrade your team across roguelike runs and outwit opponents tactically.

Gigachess

Turn-based combat

Gigachess turns the chess board into a turn-based defense puzzle where you use knights, rooks and bishops to hold off swarms of advancing pawns. Smart positioning and clever use of chess movement rules are the key.

Dream Tactics

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics RPG where cards drive your party's actions on the battlefield. You build decks and guide Neru and friends through a dream world whose inhabitants are stuck asleep.

The Ouroboros King

Turn-based combat

A roguelike that blends chess movement rules with run-based build crafting: you assemble an army of pieces, collect relics and gadgets, and face three evil witches. Each run plays like a fresh tactical puzzle.

Puzzle Kingdoms

Fantasy setting

A match-3 puzzle game blended with map conquest and army management: matching gems damages enemies and charges mana for powerful spells. A world map and commanders add strategic depth.

Defend the Rook

Fantasy setting

A turn-based tactics roguelike that blends tower defense with board-style combat: you place towers and units to hold off waves of invaders. Every turn rewards careful planning rather than reflexes.

Gems of War

Fantasy setting

A match-3 puzzle game fused with a collectible RPG: you match gems to charge spells and build a team from a huge roster of heroes and monsters. Easy to pick up, with lots of depth in team building and gear.

Battles of Norghan

Turn-based combat

An indie game blending gladiator management with turn-based grid combat: you recruit, train and equip fantasy gladiators, then lead them yourself in the arena.
