Good turned based RPG from the 21st century???

[Endimyon]

Hi everybody
Ok so I've been on the hunt for a good turned based RPG
the last one I played was enchanted arms on XB360
I'm looking for something like that not like FF... meaning your battlefield shows the area of effect you can move around etc... even though I'd take proposition in the FF genre too if nothing else is around
I have tried AVADON demo it's something like that I'm looking for but with graphics from this century not like ultima online back in the days...
something with nice skill trees... nice looking environment (even though not looking for a CPU/GPU hog I don't have a beastly rig)
is it me or that genre has been replaced by real time turned based RPG like skyrim....????

[Endimyon]

not sure I was accurate enough... looking for something like Fallout 1 or 2.... or FF but back on older generation consoles.... with up to date graphics....

Well, actually turn-based genres were popular because of limited resources of old PCs.
Nowadays it isn't problem so they aren't popular now. Also these games are bit complicated for unexperienced people.

Maybe King's Bounty: Armored Princess will suit you.
See also Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series.

[Endimyon]

yeap played all the KOTOR series was cool though not exactly what I am looking for right now
yeah King's bounty looks nice... I'm currently on the demo of might and magic heroes VI
that's not bad either... but I was hopping for something more JRPG

you right it's kind of hard for noobs... but then again the mechanics of games like the witcher or skyrim aren't exactly easy or you don't see RTS desapearing because PC can do nice graphics now...

I'm just tired of modern RPG where fight is stupid and easy and unbelivably repetitive... I stoped skyrim in the middle because beside the story and the looks the game is more stupid than an action hack slash when it comes to gameplay... nothing really rewarding... you're like YEAH I killed a dragon mashing a button and casting a couple spells in less than 5 minutes youhou... the only descent one was dragon age but still the combat system is dumb giving you a combat field would be so much better and tactical IMO in those games... you can't really enjoy unleashing the power of your troops or combos anymore... Like seeing a wave of fire incinerating your foes before crushing them under a rain of boulders... or if you can they feel obligated to make it real time like it makes anything better... you don't even have time to enjoy what's going on... It's like eating lunch in a 5 star restaurant in 5min

Cthulu Saves the World. It's on Steam for like 3 bucks.

[the cutest noisuchun]

I'm fairly new to Steam, and I've been looking. Haven't seen any that really catch my eye though... (But if you find any, please let me know. :) )

I do know that there are games like the Persona series, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and 4 for Playstation 2. Also from the same third-party gaming party is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor and its sequel by the same name with a 2 attached to it, both for Nintendo DS.

They're JRPGs, which would be a problem if you're looking more for Western RPGs.

He said he wanted a "Nice looking enviroment." That doesn't mean the graphics have to be modern. He asked for an RPG from the 21st century. Cuthulu Saves the World is from the 21st century. He asked for a turn-based RPG. Cuthulu Saves the World is a turn-based RPG. He asked for a good RPG. Cuthulu Saves the World is a good RPG. I'm sorry you don't like my answer, but I answered all of his questions. So how you got the idea I didn't read anything is beyond me.

Space Funeral FTW!!!!!

[\//\|>0R₩/\\/€ Sasha サー]

I agree with Shepard

[Endimyon]

thanks guys gonna be busy for the next couple days
but I'll check that out ASAP
well I'd like JRPG because I'm kind of tired of the classic mage archer warrior rogue elf orc stuff.... it's kind of repetitive.... dark lord X is teaming up with retarded war lord orc Y so valiant knight prince is rallying people from around the kinfdom to fight hords of evil bastard.... even though JRPG pretty much use the same mechanics behind (projectile/mele/magic) at least they try to be a little bit original and creative with it....

but if there is something good out there I'm open to propositions

@noiseDrfiter
Thanks but looking for stuff on PC only right now... maybe on XB360....

Idealy I'd be looking for a mashup of Baldur's gate or Never winters night blended with a JRPG setup / Backgroup and fighting system like Disciples or Heroes of Might and Magic

and yeah something looking decent... not like an indie game

but pretty much if it's an awesome turn based RPG just let me know...

[Endimyon]

oh yeah and no not graphics like
Space funeral or Cthulhu
I played Chtulhu and death breath already....
When I say 21st century it has to be at least like a PS2 FF
not like a NES FF
I played almost all of them anyway....
like I said Enchanted arms wasn't the game of the century but it's something similar in looks and gameplay I'm looking for.....

I think I finally found one for you.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown looks like it's everything you want. With both modern graphics, extremely tactical turnbased fighting, and charecter and base leveling, it looks to be really fun, despite the $50 price tag.

[MentallyillGamer(Kaddam)]

Does Turn base even exist any more?

[Τhe Rolling Cheese Wheel]

The Last Remnant. Shockingly the only one of it's kind on steam. Turn based with a more abstract move choice system. Not bad but definitely not the best. You're gonna have a horrible time look for a turn based game that also has a skill tree. I don't think such a thing even exist.

[PentaPenta]

Turn based is not the thing that's rare.(Think Civ 5)

What's rare is new turnbased rpgs. However, there are some, you just have to know where to look. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a good one, and there are others as well.
