Before you say it, I already own Xcom and Xcom 2.

I'm looking for some recomendations for good turn based games for the Xbox One or Ps4. 360 games that are Xbox One compatable are fine as well.

/edit: Genre doesn't matter.

 

[Nyx]

Divinity Original Sin
The Banner Saga 1&2

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Persona 5. Unless you're directly looking for turn-based strategy.

 

[TimeEffect]

valkyria chronicles.


Consoles need more Turn based games

 

[Neuromancer]

Check out Invisible Inc. It's like Xcom but stealth focused in a cyberpunk world. The levels are randomly generated too.

 

[Nyx]

Shadow Tactics
Invisible Inc

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Child of Light

 

[xrnzaaas]

Invisible Inc.

Shadow Tactics

is not turn-based

 

[AmuroChan]

Darkest Dungeon

 

[Acquiescence]

Persona 5 is turn-based combat at its finest, so there's that. I don't know if JRPGs count though, in terms of what you want to play.

 

[Bronetta]

Persona 5 is the best game I played this year

 

[Nyx]

Invisible Inc.



is not turn-based

Ah yes, you're right

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Forza Motorsport 6

 

[toythatkills]

Hitman GO
Lara Croft GO

Be more specific.

Persona 5 is the genre at its flashiest, but mechanically it's deeply flawed.

Rainbow Moon is a grindy turn based RPG with tactical elements - if you run into an enemy, you get taken to a grid and given a certain number of actions per party member each turn they get. Personally I think it's fantastic, but it's not too popular or critically well-received.

Hadn't really occurred to me how uncommon turn based is recently until I tried to think of answers to this question.

 

[cakely]

Does Transistor count? I feel like Transistor should count.

Invisible, Inc. and The Banner Saga are also great candidates.

 

[mrjohill]

Wasteland 2

 

[BigEmil]

In addition to what other people said:

- Disgaea 5 (SRPG, still like turn based though)
- Final Fantasy 7
- Final Fantasy 10/10-2 (12 is more like mmorpg combat, half turn based half action rpg)
- World of Final Fantasy
- I am Setsuna (not great)
- Digimon Cyber Sleuth

- Final Fantasy 13 trilogy if they are on the Xbox 360 Xbox one compatibility list never checked

Looking forward to sequel Digimon Cyber Sleuth: Hackers Memory, DQXI, Battle Chasers: Nightwar coming 2018

 

[DeathbyCheerios]

Hitman GO
Lara Croft GO

Be more specific.

Its a high school anime simulator with a JRPG attached.

 

[muteki]

Dragon Quest XI

 

[ethomaz]

From these I played and recommend...

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth
World of Final Fantasy
The Banner Saga
Final Fantasy VII PS4 version
Wild Arms 3 PS2 to PS4 version
Child of Light

I have to play Valkyria Chronicles (already purchased) and Persona 5.

 

[Razzmatazzer]

Two games popped into my head, assuming they count. Both goofy / fun, South Park and Pit People (I believe still in early access for xbox??)

 

[alemmon]

Grand Kingdom? Its pretty fun

 

[CloudStrife_ca]

valkyria chronicles.


Consoles need more Turn based games

THIS.

 

[Gravy Boat]

Wasteland 2 would be my pick. It's great, but I found it to be too difficult for me.

 

[ethomaz]

Consoles need more Turn based games

DQXI is coming...

BTW there are a lot of turn based games on PS4 if you search.

 

[piggychan]

Japanese release has english options or you can buy from marketplace

 

[LycanXIII]

Forza Motorsport 6

Nice

 

[KORNdoggy]

divinity (i can't recommend this enough) and wasteland 2 (a little bit ropey, but still good)

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Forza Motorsport 6

Turn based ... yes you are right. You turn things in that game. Lol

 

[silva1991]

Persona 5 and Digimon Cyber sleuth.

Dragon Quest XI

I don't think OP is Japanese, but yeah that should be a good choice for next year.

 

[Recall]

Children of Zodiarcs

 

[Ogawa-san]

Grand Kingdom? Its pretty fun

+1

Tons of grinding though. I like it, but for some that's a turn off.

 

[mclem]

No-one's mentioned Steamworld: Heist yet. That deserves to be rectified.

Steamworld: Heist.

 

[watdaeff4]

divinity (i can't recommend this enough) and wasteland 2 (a little bit ropey, but still good)

What do you mean by ropey? Legit no idea what that means

OT: Is Tropico turn-based?

 

[PantsuJo]

Valkyria Chronicles for PS4 it's the best answer.

 

[RAWRferal]

FFX/X-2 HD Remaster. Tonnes of content and a great refresh of classic games.

 

[TDonk]

MASSIVE CHALICE

Banner saga

 

[Pandora012]

Digimon Cyber
Divinity
Disgaea 5
Final Fantasy 7
Persona 5

 

[dralla]

Divinity: Original Sin. It has a bit of a slow start but push through and it's maybe the best RPG this generation.

 

[spectator]

Forza Motorsport 6

Based Turn 10.

 

[Tigress]

Before you say it, I already own Xcom and Xcom 2.

/edit: Genre doesn't matter.

Wasteland 2, Persona 5

 

[Wace]

Tropico is realtime

Pier Solar

 

[Stranya]

Has no one mentioned Steamworld Heist yet?! It's incredible.

 

[CaptNink]

Darkest Dungeon? (PS4)

Forza Motorsport 6

I chuckled.

 

[Ushay]

- Divinity Original Sin
- Pillars of Eternity (although this is really pause and play)
- Persona 5 (PS4 only)
- Mario & Rabbids (Nintendo Switch only)
- Child of Light

All great games imo

 

[TimeEffect]

Hm, thread got me curious about Invisible Inc and Banner Saga.


Also, OP, Id suggest Gwent. It's a card game, but it's turn based and it's free as its in beta.

 

[Keinning]

Pit People is pretty fun

 

[dralla]

Has no one mentioned Steamworld Heist yet?! It's incredible.

I forgot about that one. It's very much a 2D X-Com and it is awesome and can be found for relatively cheap.

 

[Stygr]

Darkest Dungeon and Divinity: Original Sin
