FFTA Like games

[Papa Pasda' Ⓢ]

Hello, thx for the add.

Wonder if anyone here played Final Fantasy tactics (advance) here. I've some great memories on this game from my childhood.

I'm looking for some similar games, especially some that could be played online (best would be online coop of course).

I played Dofus Arena some times ago but this game is dead now, to bad.

Unfortunately, there are not many options for online coop:
- Age of Wonder. 1 has the best solo campaign. Age of Wonder: Shadow Magic has the best multiplayer. Both have several coop scenarios.
- Heroes of Might and Magic (whichever one, but I think 3 is the best. Not sure it is on Steam, but it sure is on gog).

Mordheim could work too, but it is mostly one skirmish battle after another. Not much plot there, and no coop, only PvP.


Telepath Tactics is inspired by FFTA, so it could work. I has almost no random element.
I haven't played it, but I heard Grotesque Tactics was in the same vein as FFTA.
Valkyrie Chronicles is pretty good, but its free move system, and its "order" system make it play pretty differently.
Maybe the Agarest games, but I haven't played them either.
The Disgaea games could do too, but they are very grindy.
You also have the old Shining Force games on Steam (via a megadrive emulator).


You could also play "PC Tactical games" like X(-)Com or Jagged Alliance2. They are more complex and less RPGish than FFTA though (the new XCOM are more RPGish than JA2 which is more than the older X-COM).
In this vein, I would also recommend Chaos Gate (on gog.com) if you like 40K and Silent Storm and Silent Storm Sentinels.
Fallout Tactics can work too, even though it butchers the fallout licence.

If you want more RPGish games, you could try shadowrun, or Divinity: Original Sin, which also has great coop.

Wow, thx for this nice reply.
Telepath tactics seems to be what i am looking for, sweet.

Shining force GBA were a good experience to, really hard at what i remember but i might jump back into it.

I might also add some few of your games to my wish list.

You could try Aarklash Legacy. It's a tactical RPG (though with a western rather than Japanese feel). It's combat system could best be described as single-player, pauseable League of Legends. The difficulty is such that you need to manage your team with a similar level of detail to a TBS.
