Turn-Based RPG?

[POCKET SAND]

Hey everyone!
I don't know if this thread goes here, but it's the closest one I could find to match my topic.

I'm looking for a Turn-Based RPG game, like "West Of Loathing" or kind of like Pokemon, or Super Mario RPG.
I want it to be Turn-Based, like Pokemon or SMRPG, it doesn't have to be anything special, but I do however request that it isn't a card game or some kind of matching shapes and colors game.... I want combat with an RPG of some sort, like the games I listed.

If you guys know of ANY good games like this, please suggest them to me below?

Also, I'd like them to be free, but if they're not, that's fine too :P

don't bother with the cheap ♥♥♥♥. west of loathing was a surprise hit, but it's still super low on tier of goodness. save up for D:os 2, you WILL NOT regret it.

You mean there's not a single good Turn-Based RPG that is cheap or free?

baldur's gate 1&2, D:os 1&2, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup[crawl.develz.org](this one is free, and my most played game of all time).

outside of that, no real good turn based rpgs. but don't buy d:os 1... just get 2, so many improvements, plus it takes place 1200 years after 1 anyways, so no correlation.


if you save for d:os 2, it has more replayability than skyrim... truly limitless in its core game, not counting mods now or in the future. seriously... save the money for d:os 2.

Cthulhu saves the world is what kind of game I'm looking for, but the style of that game and the theme is kind of odd XD

I'll try it, and I'll try D;os 2 at some point.


If anyone else has any more suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to give them, because I'm not sure on a game yet :P

FYI this sort of thread belongs in the Off-Topic forum, usually, but a mod will probably come and move this thread. If you see a "deleted or moved" notification, just check your browser history and you'll probably find this thread again.

Anyway...

If you specifically want a turn-based RPG that plays a bit like Pokémon, albeit with some simplifications, try this:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/335190/200_Mixed_Juice/
It's a crossover 10th-anniversary game for the games that the devteam has made in the past. It's a lot less famous than their 5th-anniversary game, 100% Orange Juice, though. That's a virtual board/card game.

I'm not sure you're looking that specifically since you also mentioned Super Mario RPG. So I'm guessing you're just looking for turn-based JRPGs in general? A few years ago there were very few JRPGs on Steam (probably none, prior to 2010) but now there are a bunch. Here are some good choices:

This one has some strategy/tactical elements, though its main draw is its long and detailed story:

This one has some action-command type stuff, like in Super Mario RPG:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/258090

This one is more about strategy, and has third-person-shooter sequences interspersing strategy gameplay:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/294860

This one plays a bit like Final Fantasy Tactics:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/312600

There are also a lot more I haven't personally tried yet, such as the Final Fantasy games (which include the classic turn-based JRPGs FFIII, FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX, and apparently FFXIII is turn-based too?), and the Atelier games (which are more crafting-focused), as well as JRPGs that aren't entirely turn-based, like the Tales games (brawler battles), Ys games (direct-control 3/4-perspective action RPGs), Recettear (item shop + action RPG), Fortune Summoners (JRPG/metroidvania combo), The Sacred Tears True (which does involve a card-based mechanic which you said you didn't want but I'm not exactly sure how this card-based mechanic works myself), and many others including turn-based RPGs I'm not familiar with (e.g. LiEat, Pier Solar, Demon King Chronicle, Helen's Mysterious Castle, Millennium, Cthulhu Saves/Breath of Death, Celestian Tales, Cosmic Star Heroine, etc.) and non-turn-based RPGs or games with RPG elements (e.g. Eternal Senia, Fairy Bloom Freesia, etc.).

FWIW I have played FF 3 through 7 but just not their PC versions so maybe I should just plug those as well.

Aside from the final fantasy games, Valkyria Chronicles and Trails in the Sky, i wouldn't suggest 100% orange juice since it's more like a party game more than an RPG.

Seconding both Valkyria and Trails.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting 100% OJ. 200% MJ, on the other hand, is basically Pokémon Lite, complete with multiplayer, catching 'em all, and even "evolutions".
