    Default Itch for TBSRPG

    Writing 101: Acronym in heading is bad, but so is long titles..
    So let's break it down.
    I have an sudden itch that can only be scratched by turn based strategic role playing games.

    The itch began when I recently finished XCOM Enemy Within.
    Scratching the itch, I went and conquered the Aztecs in Expeditions: Conquistador. That worked.. mostly.
    Now with Age of Wonders (AoW) 3 being so close to release (31 of March), the itch is back!

    Can anyone recommend a good TBS-RPG for the sedating the itch before I can get the remedy in the form of AoW 3?
    The catch: I can't spend too much on this sedation as I still need to provision for the remedy. < $9 would be sweet.

    I had a look at blackguards, but that price tag!
    Yes, I know - there's a bay that offers free products, but let's try this before we set sail.

    Civ 5. Do it.

    Just noticed the budget, that Civ Humble Bundle would've hit the spot.

    Done it. Many times. With all DLCs. Even as Germans

    Bought Xcom: Bureau thinga-ma-bob on Gamersgate for R80. Not sure if it has the turn based qualities of the standard Xcom games?

    I actually got that on pre-purchase when it first came out.
    Despite the negative reviews by critics, I find the game to be quite good. Especially the game play, it is rather unique.
    It's a 3rd person, direct your team strategy action. Note the "strategy" is in front of the action part. Will let you explore the game

    My steam library may not be as extensive as MetalSoup's, but I've played a fair share of TBS-RPG games

    I was going to stay out of this thread, but I could somehow feel it calling me. Unfortunately I'm not really into any turn based games, so I probably can't give any good advice, sorry.

    Have you played Frozen Synapse? That's pretty good, in my opinion.

    Maybe also Warlock - Master of the Arcane?

    Eador: Masters of the Broken World was amazing. A bit like a mish-mash between Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization. It's $19.99, unfortunately, but well worth every dollar.

    Xcom: The Bureau is a third-person shooter with squad management.

    SRR was also very good, but do not that it was a bit on the short side.
