Medieval Xcom?

[Quack_]

Is there any games like XCOM, with the squad strategy, but a medieval setting? My only thought is Mordheim which I found kinda disappointing.

its not quite the same but the only thing that comes to mind is Divinity Original Sin or maybe Pillars of Eternity/Tyranny (theyre basically the same game when it comes to gameplay) but again, its not quite the same.

How are those cRPGs anything close to the turn based strategy that's XCOM other than an isometric camera?

There are plenty of fantasy turnbased strategy games out there. Most of them have medieval settings but usually have magic in their lore.

Blackguards have you play with a small squad and no permadeath punishment.

Final Fantasy Tactics is an oldie but goodie that has aged well.

Brigandine, an anime army tbs is one of my favorite games for ps1.

Haven't tried Pit People but seems like it's in the genre. Pretty whacky though.

Bloodbowl is a crazy fantasy bloody football game where you win by scoring but can also win by killing every opponent on sight. Love the cruuuuuunchy sound effects whenever I kill a dude.

The King's Bounty series is like xcom except that it's supposed to be an army simulator instead of a small squad. Basically play like xcom though.

Don't really know much without magic in their lore though I would highly suggest the King's Bounty series and Blackguards.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Brigandine if you have access to older games and consoles.

I forgot to mention Expeditions: Conquistador. Haven't tried it myself but the reviews seem good.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Valkyria Chronicles kinda fits the bill as well :)

[76561198322429733]

I don't think Valkyria Chronicles count as medieval lol. I remember fighting a gigantic mobile fortress and tanks.

[Telfram]

Age of Wonders 2 (Medieval type weapons with magic) maybe, your hero is the only one you can really develop though.

[Metal Izanagi]

The Fire Emblem series is turn-based strategy, though it's more akin to leading an army, and the combat isn''t nearly as in-depth as X-COM 2's. Great games, though, if you're a strategy fan.

[jamais203]

There are 2 games I spent 300h+ this year, XCOM2 and Battle Brothers. The second one is also an amazing game, procedural world, deep turnbased tactical in a med fan world. He is about to be released but you already can play it.

[SunDrippedDevil]

Blackguards 1 and 2, sort of. They're fantasy TBS using medieval weapons and such. Sort of.

Also, there's Banner Saga 1 and 2. Again, sort of.
