The Steam Deck is perfect for tactics RPG nerds: 24 games tested

mercredi 29 juin 2022, 20:05 , par PC World
Tactical RPGs have roots way back in the ancient times of gaming, almost as old as standard JRPGs themselves. But the hybrid of strategy and story-based gaming is having a renaissance on modern PCs, with AAA titles like XCOM sitting next to new indie darlings like Into the Breach and refreshed classics like Disgaea. Adam Patrick Murray, PCWord’s number one TRPG fan, tried out a stunning 24 different tactical games over on our YouTube channel.

It shouldn’t be a huge surprise that with turn-based combat and generally low visual requirements, the tactical RPG genre is a fantastic match for portable gaming. Some work better than others — older games and 2D titles can go longer on the Steam Deck’s battery and play smoother. Same PC-focused games lacked official control schemes, but there were generally options available from the Steam community. A few games with more complex controls, like Möbius Front ’83, had some control issues, while a few oddballs like XCOM 2 had weird one-off issues.

Here’s the full list of games with timestamps for the video above, if you’re short on time:

02:15 – The Banner Saga 02:42 – BattleTech 03:15 – Dark Deity 03:39 – Disgaea PC 04:05 – Fights in Tight Spaces 04:31 – Gears Tactics 05:03 – Into the Breach 05:28 – Invisible, Inc. 05:52 – Möbius Front ’83 06:15 – Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden 06:41 – Othercide 07:17 – Phoenix Point: Year One Edition 07:52 – Shadowrun Returns 08:18 – SteamWorld Heist 08:40 – Super Robot Wars 30 09:16 – Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga 09:40 – Valkyria Chronicles 4 10:13 – Wargroove 10:41 – Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters 11:21 – Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 11:44 – Wasteland 3 12:28 – Wildermyth 12:49 – XCOM 2 13:39 – XCOM: Chimera SquadThe vast majority of tactical RPGs are great fits for the Steam Deck, especially if you’re okay with playing on a locked 30 FPS for the more intense 3D titles.
