Alright, guys and gals, we have talked about many video game genres, but today we’re gonna talk about a less popular video game genre - turn-based style video games. Now, you might ask me, what exactly are turn-based games about?

Turn-based video games are about taking turns and planning your strategy - similar to chess. Kind of. Just less boring and on the PC! Anyways, I’ll save you my senseless explanations and begin with the article!

15. Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI

14. Darkest Dungeon®

Be careful though, you and your buddies have a stress meter - make sure to relax them by visiting an inn or… I dunno, hugging them every once in a while? Anyways, the game is awesome - play it!

13. XCOM® 2

It’s strategy-based and has fun combat - it’s worth its price on Steam and most importantly, your time!

12. Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

The game is also pretty brutal, you can expect plenty of blood and screams of either your men or men from the different empire. Good luck and have fun!

11. GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

10. Baldur's Gate 3

In total - it’s an awesome RPG and you’ll fall in love with it for many hours on end. Try it out!

9. BATTLETECH

8. Griftlands

The game also creates an emphasis on the options that you take - so be careful, otherwise, some guy later on might be angry at you because you either stole something from them, killed their chihuahua, or whatever the hell!

7. Wildermyth

6. Wasteland 3

It’s also up to you whether you’ll be a merciful, caring leader or a complete sack of crap that will be hated by everyone - up to you!

5. Warhammer 40,000 Battle Sector

It also has a cool campaign that consists of 20 missions in total. Long hours of fun and gruesome battles in a futuristic, Sci-Fi fashion. Must-try!

4. Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus

Look after your people, explore parts of the newly discovered planet and find new tech that you can use to your advantage, partake in decisions that will sometimes prove to be greatly beneficial, but at times regrettable as well. All those things are nice, but the epic battles that most Warhammer games offer are what’s the best about this game - mass-scale, gory madness!

3. Divinity: Original Sin 2

Look after your homies, engage in awesome and diverse combat, discover new locations and acquire items as you progress. Sick!

2. ATOM RPG: Trudograd

You’re gonna be playing as a new character or as a continue to play as an ATOM RPG character. In both cases, your job will be to protect the remaining remnants of humanity, go on a suicidal mission filled with mutated, hostile creatures. Acquire powerful weaponry, armor that will keep you going on your adventures!

1. TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children

One of the most unique features of this game is its unpredictable difficulty - you can’t really pick a difficulty for yourself, but predict it by engaging in combat with others. Masteries will allow you to customize your character to a great extend and make it even cuter than it was before. Yay!

TL;DR - it’s like XCOM. Worth the price and probably one of the coolest turn-based games out there!
