Similar games to play next?

[ImpracticalDogg]

I'm looking at these to play next. Scifi / post-apocalyptic type themes, turn-based:
Satellite Reign
Invisible Inc
Xcom 2
Underrail
Mutant Year Zero

Any other ideas? I don't mind older games. I'm busy with Shadowrun Hong Kong

Warhammer Storm Ground; Othercide; Fallout 1, 2, Tactics; WH40k Mechanicus; Phoenix Point; and of course the almighty classic: Wasteland 1.

[ImpracticalDogg]

Was considering Wasteland 2. Did start Fallout 1. Aim to get back to it one day :)

[jmsand1]

Wasteland 2 is good. Less impressed with Wasteland 3, but havn't spent a lot of time on it.

Pity that Necromunda Underhive has such bad reviews. I wouldn't mind a decent action-turn based hybrid in WH40k

[jmsand1]

I like Necromunda. It's detractors are very vocal and virulent. It's had a number of bugs to be squashed, and doesn't have as much flavor as it's predecessor Mordheim, but it's worth sinking some time and money if it strikes your fancy.

Well, it's on my wishlist now..

Try Wasteland 3. It is very good!

Corruption 2029 (Epic store) same studio that made Mutant Year Zero
Phantom Brigade (Epic store)
Phoenix Point
Phantom Doctrine

[Narcissistic Cannibal]

Shadowrun series.

Would recommend having a look at Othercide (watch for a sale heh). It's dark fantasy themed with strong influences of Japanese comics. Plays very similarly to Mechanicus with fewer units. Aggressive play, turn order important, light strategy layer, fairly strong narrative. Just about to get a new update after doing a public beta.

Cool, thanks! And I suspect there's a sale quite soon ;-)

Invisible Inc (which you mentioned) and Into the Breach are both great turn-based tactics games. They are roguelikes FYI.

XCOM 2 is one of my favorite games. XCOM2 plus all DLC is around $20 on sale and the Steam workshop mods are amazing.

Your first playthrough you should probably add an accuracy mod as the game is (in)famous for routinely making players miss their shots with 90%+ probability to hit. This will prevent a lot of rage quits and uninstalling the game repeatedly.

I would pick up XCOM Chimera Squad too while you're at it. It's not as advanced or long as XCOM, but it's a fun little story where you get to play as the bad guys from XCOM 2 (but they're good now).

👍👍

Definitely keen to buy XCom 2. There's been a lot of complaining on the discussions that the launcher has been upgraded this month and broke all mods.
May go with Gog because of this..
