Tactical RPG

6 stories
Tactical RPG covers role-playing games in which positioning and turn order are as important as character statistics. The category is defined by grid-based movement, terrain, unit roles, equipment, permadeath or campaign progression, while individual games may combine those ideas in very different proportions.

This page brings together mission strategy, class balance, difficulty, version differences and long-term availability. It also distinguishes tactical rpg design from adjacent genres so that secondary modes or borrowed mechanics do not determine classification.
