With summer comes not only the high temperatures, but also the time of the year when we can catch up with games that have been left behind in our backlog, perhaps unopened. That's the beauty of the holiday season; it offers us an oxygen cylinder between so much daily chores to take a break, maybe on the beach with a beer in hand, to enjoy our hobby with peace of mind.
Well, I think Nintendo Switch is the console that almost all of us take on a trip to play a game lying on the towel. In addition, turn-based tactical RPGs seem to have found a golden niche in the Nintendo hybrid, because in its catalog we can find a lot of them. For this reason, here are 5 turn-based tactical role-playing games for this vacation season.
Divinity Original Sin 2
Divinity Original Sin 2 is referred to as "the perfect definition of freedom in the role-playing genre". Larian Studios signed a work of true luxury, an RPG with classic flavor and with the addition of interesting and deep social mechanics, spectacular turn-based battles and a story with an absorbing background, full of nuances and well written. DoS2 is certainly one of the best tactical RPGs ever, and the Nintendo Switch port is a marvelous piece of engineering. Not one iota of content has been cut, thus offering tons of fun and an insane amount of hours on the handheld. Undoubtedly, a game that you will play long beyond the summer and will want to return to discover its thousands of secrets.
Fire Emblem: Engage
Nintendo has to its credit many renowned sagas that are iconic within the genre they represent. Basically, Super Mario is to platform games what Fire Emblem is to turn-based tactical games; an absolute reference. In this installment, although there are some controversial opinions about the artistic design of the characters and the quality of its story, Engage manages to maintain the highest quality in its battles. These are intelligent, well thought out and the quality of its maps is above average. It is a title a priori more direct than Three Houses, something to thank if we are traveling and want to hang out with the great cast of characters of the saga. Engage also adds an extra layer of depth to its battles with the ring system, which can drastically modify the attributes of our units. A gem.
Floppy Knights
Turns, deck building and a beautiful and colorful design. Floppy Knights follows the story of Phoebe and her robotic arm Carlton, and will allow us to use a clever system of character, movement and attack cards among a variety of other combat skills. Floppy Knights is a challenge and requires a certain amount of patience, but it is a treat for fans of the genre that should not be missing in your collection.
Othercide
Othercide bets for black and red, for a dark vision and a singular dramatism when it comes to expose us to combat. It is a work of art on many levels, a hybrid tactical game between RPG and roguelite where our girls can fall in battle and never get up again. Improving their skills, studying their synergies and understanding their resurrection system is vital to progress in this very difficult turn-based tactical game. Its design is dark, mysterious and evocative, and the soundtrack leaves no one indifferent. Especially, its direct and agile gameplay makes it one of the best.
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark
Final Fantasy Tactics coined a genre in the industry, and to this day there are still games coming out that, in one way or another, want their little piece of the pie to make their way among so many similar games. Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark stands out as one of those games, but one that, far from becoming a vague imitation, has turned out to be a true homage to Square's work. Fell Seal has its own graphic style, colorful and colorful, but underneath the tip of the iceberg hides a very balanced, long and deep tactical RPG. Definitely, Fell Seal is the kind of game that knows how to do what it sets out to do.
