Top 20 Indie Turn Based RPGs Strategy Games 2021

[@DrAiori]

A gigantic effort for a gigantic video. Very great work! It was a nice year on TBL. Let's see what 2022 bring us

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Thanks to you and the other writers, i managed to put together a so comprehensive list of indie games. :)

[@barrakliberal8539]

Gloomhaven. Excellent. Best game on the list. Go buy it.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Wildermyth. Also excellent. 2nd best game on the list.

[@Adamastorus]

Thanks! I've been waiting for this one. As a person who doesn't have that much time anymore to keep abreast of things, these lists of yours are very welcome. For instance, I've only played 5 out of that list (Pathfinder\Solasta\Edge of Eternity\Legend of Keepers\Dark Deity) and have enjoyed them all immensely. Quite curious to try a few of them now. Once again, thanks for the hard work!!!!

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Glad it was helpful Jorge. The ones you played are great and can't wait to learn more if you try some others. Thank you so much for all your support. :)

[@adriadarnes]

This is just insane. I discovered so many gems in a 20 mins video. Thank you. I was looking for that little game of the mouse with a pocket knife. Still haven't found it. But wildermyth is on switch now :O

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Thanks. The game you are looking for is Small Saga I think.

[@adriadarnes]

@@TurnBasedLovers what a legend!

[@GodsPoetryProductions]

Same

[@stephenreader2049]

Another well put together, and informative video.

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much Stephen :)

[@jorisgarcia6927]

Just finished edge of eternity this morning, what an excellent game!

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Nice to hear this Joris 😊😊👍👍

[@KaidenXIII]

Still waiting for an Atlantica Online remake. That game had me hooked for years

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Yes, played in past too. It was a great game.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Ruined Kings. 90%, but $30. Worth a look, but expensive.

[@zlarez4485]

Pathfinder WotR is one of the best games of all time. A must play

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Yes it's great, and you must try Solasta too. :)

[@barrakliberal8539]

Pathfinder. 86% Decent game.

[@jopastudio]

Guild of Ascension looks great! Thanks for sharing all these gems with us :)

[@TurnBasedLovers]

You are welcome 😊😊😊

[@gr0undk1ller]

Really good list, thanks

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the comment Claudio :)

[@gawaniwhitecrow2731]

Great list thankyou

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Thank you very much 😊😊😊

[@barrakliberal8539]

Field of Glory II: 87%. I have this game, and it's very good.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Guild of Ascension...88% rating on Steam. This is good.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Legend of Keepers. 93%. Good game.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Solasta. 83%. DnD based, but short.

[@Dave-vk1or]

Great TB game, but the real selling point for Solasta, IMO is the Dungeon Maker. DM's still "beta" and rather limited functionality compared to something like NWN toolset, but it's extremely user friendly and some interesting and extensive player made campaigns have are available now. Currently they're mostly centered around combat & dungeon crawling, but hopefully a proper dialogue / quest system will soon be implemented to allow us to better create story & quest driven cRPG campaigns.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Curious Expedition 2. I own this, good game, 93%

[@KiNASuki]

If I were to vote 2 titles from this list, it would be Wildermyth and Sir Brante. Both introducing something really fresh in a crowd of well beloved genre. That circus game is also something of a fresh air, similar, but different enough to feel like ah, new game. I think I saw one other circus game around too in the last week or so. I now shifted my interest toward Chinese indie game scene, because they marry game with another hobby of mine, xianxia novel (immortal heroes with flying sword basically). Only problem is getting them popular enough so that a group willing to fantranslate the game (they mostly only available in Chinese language)

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Yes, the other circus game is CIRCUS ELECTRIQUE, and it looks original too. I know xianxia novels very vaguely, but i presume that seeing flying swordsmen in pixel art, would be awesome :)

[@KiNASuki]

@@TurnBasedLovers Its bullet hell, but you should try Tales of Immortal, it got english patch now. Its quite grindy as all xianxia novels are though.

[@TurnBasedLovers]

@@KiNASuki just saw the Steam page. It looks awesome, i will give it a try soon. Thanks for the heads up :)

[@dawngodric5964]

Wildermyth was pure bliss for me. It was awesome.

[@rybotekk]

awesome. thx.

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Our pleasure Pawel :) Thank you for your support :)

[@barrakliberal8539]

Gamedec. 83%. Solve the missions, and it's done. No replayability.

[@luklopskywalk]

AWESOME

[@barrakliberal8539]

Dark Deity has a 58% rating on Steam. This is TERRIBLE.

[@luklopskywalk]

Pathfinder WOTR is NOT on PS4, PC ONLY Pathfinder Kingmaker is on ps4 tho.

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Thanks Luke 🙏👍

[@barrakliberal8539]

Life and Suffering of Sir Brante. Text based, but pretty good. 93%

[@TurnBasedLovers]

Thank you for all your straight to the point comments. :) Wish you the best

[@barrakliberal8539]

Gem Wizard Tactics, 82%. OK.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Geneforge Mutation. This game is 30 years old. Dude.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Cris Tales. 63%. It sucks.

[@barrakliberal8539]

Ruin Raiders has a 69% rating on Steam. This is TERRIBLE.

[@jex-the-notebook-guy1002]

I saw it when browsing the Epic store

[@barrakliberal8539]

Dead Age II. 72%. Average at best.

[@CryptoCryoto]

Sadly turn based JRPG’S offer much better quality than any western rpg’s right now. Indie = low quality.

[@barrakliberal8539]

American American Circus. 72%. Average at best.

[@cristitanase6130]

Almost none of these games are "indie". Clickbait title once more.

[@Neplushka]

more gameplay less cutscenes

[@barrakliberal8539]

Edge of Eternity. 60%. Sucks.
