Spec me a turn based strategy game

spudbynight · 14 May 2013 at 23:07

I used to play some pretty complex board games when I was younger. Playing XCOM again reminded me how much I like turn based strategy.

Any recommendations for top drawer turn based strategy in recent years? Graphics not important.

Played Civ and Total War lots. Will look into the others

Frozen Synapse!

Funnily enough I have that and haven't even installed it.

(Damn you Steam sales, damn you to hell!)

Civ 5, Galactic Civ II, XCOM Enemy Unknown.

I mentioned XCOM in the OP. I managed to complete that recently on Impossible!

It is what has really sparked my desire to play some more turn based strategy. I much prefer it to RTS stuff.

I have played Civ to death over the years - Civs 1 to 5 (with all expansions). Civ is a game that I will keep coming back to time and time again.

Gal Civ II looks very good so I think I am going to give that a crack.

Any recommendations for other turn based games very much appreciated.
