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.

BattleTech

Turn-based combat

Tactical turn-based combat with giant mechs where armor, heat and positioning decide battles. As a mercenary commander you manage pilots, mechs and finances through a campaign set in 3025.

Incubation: Time Is Running Out

Turn-based combat

Turn-based sci-fi tactics where you lead a small squad of marines against mutated aliens, equipping and growing your soldiers across missions. Part of the Battle Isle series, it rewards careful positioning and ammo management.

Silent Storm

Turn-based combat

Turn-based squad tactics in an alternate World War II where you lead a custom-built team on secret missions, with fully destructible environments that make every turn a tactical puzzle.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Sci-fi setting

Turn-based tactics in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where you lead Adeptus Mechanicus forces or ancient Necrons and manage resources and technology between battles. Its bleak, techno-religious atmosphere is a big draw.

Strike Team Gladius

Sci-fi setting

A turn-based sci-fi tactical RPG where you build a team and fight missions on an alien planet, backed by armored vehicles and combat mechs. Combat feels like a tabletop game, while character growth borrows from dungeon crawlers.

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.
