I’m a huge fan of turn based games (not active turn based, not time based..)
There is a short list of games which I played, and which were truly Turn based RPG:
The list is sorted by how much i liked the game ![]()
PS3:
1. Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement
2. Enchanted arms
3. Disgaea 3 (still haven’t tried)
4. Resonance of Fate
5. Agarest Generations of War
6. Valkyria Chronicles
Wow.. i never thought of that.. Is it really only so few games which is turn based? Eternal sonata is turn based only at start of the game, dragons age and oblivion action rpgs.. FFXIII ? Guess it’s more time based than turn-based.. So, seems publishers don’t love this genre too much. Sad
Guess we have to stick with PS2..
Here is the list of PS2 turn based RPG’s..













Valkeria Chronicles is basicly a turnbased strategy game, simular in basic gameply to FF tactics, frontmission (classic) or disgaea, but with a new aproach to that formula, the grid is replaced by a movement bar that goes down as units move, but the strategy is much the same.
You’re right buddy, I’ve just added Valkyria Chronicles to this list.
many thanks for this list, same so few RPGS, Valkeria Chronicles is exclent and i do have the seconed version on psp but dose anyone know if itll be out on ps3?, also any similar games to it on ps3?, many thanks in advance
Tez, I believe Valkyria 2 & 3 are PSP exclusive. Sad, but that’s the reality
Thank brada, your site is very good you have good review and if u say the game is make you sleepy that happen to mee too… yo brada thanks.
Theres also a game called “Cross Edge” and is a turn based RPG game..its gameplay and style is extremely similar to Agarest Generations of War
It’s a shame that tradition turn based RPGs are dying off. Take away the strategy games and you’re down to just Enchanted Arms and Reasonance of Fate, and RoF’s system is really timed based since as soon as you move a character they only have a set amount of time to perform their actions.
I agree with some of the others above… I recently started playing Demon’s Souls and as a long term RPG fan; it really is something special. Nice Site!
Disgaea 4
Damn, I can’t believe there’s not one turn based rpg non drawn in this sick anime style.
I wish the list was longer. I really enjoy turn based rpgs. I haven’t tried the disgaea series but my options seem to be very limited so I guess I’ll give it a go. I’m playing agarest right now, its good.
