would like to branch out more into the subject's genre. Played Openxcom(including xpiratez), X-Com-Apocalypse(not as much as openxcom because I'm still waiting on openapoc), the new ones(I hated the two a lot), Xenonauts, Jagged Alliance 2 and Frozen Synpase(if it counts).
Is Hard West any good? Are there any recommended mods for Xenonauts or the X-com games? Will Xenonauts 2 or Phoenix Point be any good?

Sure thing, but I didn't really feel battle brothers after a while. It just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again and getting one of my better dudes wrecked in one crossbow bolt/arrow kind of soured it for me.
Speaking of which, is Mordheim any good? Is >>13776404 any good?

BG1 is OK but the story is shit and you're honestly better off playing Drakensang if that's a concern. Pretty decent tactics game otherwise. I couldn't get past the camera to get into Mordheim but that's a personal thing.
Warbanners or Bastard Bonds are another option.

I think I've heard of this before, was this the one where the artist was obviously a bara fetishist? Do you mind telling me more about it, gameplay wise? also is there anything that's lewd in a not gay way?

Wow, you say that like you don't enjoy deep dank fantasies or something. :^) Barashit is optional and you can impregnate a female crusader or tame and raise free-range monstergirls. Not joking. The gameplay is mobileshit tier but still interesting for awhile.

Disgaea and other NIS games. Disgaea 1, 2 and Phantom Brave are all on Steam
Still on my Steam wishlist:
Hartacon Tactics
Hellenica
Warbanners
Agarest: Generations of War (series)
Expeditions: Viking (and Conquistadors)
All Walls Must Fall
For not squad based, but still turn based strategy games check out Ageod.
They make historical turn based strategy games.

Unbelievable garbage.
>Expeditions: Viking (and Conquistadors)
Conq is alright but Viking is inspired by the namesake SJW TV series. It's also near unplayable with bugs and issues.
And what's with the steam recommend EA garbage? You some kind of a retard or what?

And features much of the same pozz. A real fucking shame they had to ruin such a cool concept and their reputations by making such a garbage, historically incorrect piece of shit game. Alas, we'll have to wait for a viking Bannerlord mod plus rape mod for the proper viking experience.

As far as I can tell, Phoenix Point is hitting on a lot of good stuff, but it remains to be seen if Gollop can deliver on them.
Cautiously optimistic, so far.
Have a look at one of their dev diaries:

UFO: Aftermath is also a good one. It's ok vanilla but truly shines when you mod it. It's also pretty unforgiving so be prepared to lose people and get your ass kicked.

Jump to 14:19 to skip the intro and mission briefing. If you're still interested you can check out the share thread. I uploaded the GOG version some time ago to the vola there and it got re-uploaded at least once.

I'm playing the mega mod one which is located somewhere at the forums, tbh I don't really like this mod since it removes the comfy music at the globescape and changed the world texture into a mess. But its too late since I am already mid-way into this game might as well finish it that way.

UFO seems pretty good and I'm gonna give it a try alongside Wesnoth and Bastard Bonds.
Two final questions, how's hard west and what was that upcoming game where you played a tacticool unit? I can't really remember anything outside of that. The trailer had you storming some barn and shootan some people.

If you recruit units during combat, or the game isn't balanced to kill units in the normal course of play, it doesn't belong.
>>13780677
Used to be pretty fun.
Sadly, development has slowed down to a crawl, which is especially bad since the current (>v2.4) TU/encumbrance/reaction system is pretty badly broken.

And if you want to get demolished, play this version after you've mastered the base game:

If you want, there's also Kamidori Alchemy Meister. It's the porn version of FFT. Combat is so-so and it's structured like a visual novel.

Some nicer armor and weapons.
b1261f No.13814399
>>13814346
Yeah I like it how in Aftershock the weapons got expanded with new features like attachments and other tactical features. What I disliked about this series is that they got rid of this procedural generated maps that Aftermath had, I played this one a lot and later finished it and I just find it weird that you get some sort of a base space ship that is traveling around the world doing stuff and then you get to see only a few map types all over again with no differences between each other. It is also a bummer that the new alien race looks pretty cartoonish. The base building mechanism was pretty neat as well.

Isn't it this game where the squads literally cannot die? As in they just fall unconsciousness when they don't have any hit points left.
