TOP 25 BEST Nintendo Switch Turn Based RPGS !

[@Nintenite]

This is why I LOVE my Nintendo Switch, definitely my favorite console of all time.

[@Holy_Crusader]

The console can barely run Smt 5 vengeance 😭, luckily I bought it for the ps5 for better performance and visuals.

[@Nintenite]

@@Holy_Crusader Well, I can understand that, I personally don't mind, unless is something like Mortal Kombat or action games that are relying heavily on performance and visuals, otherwise I'm ok with my Switch.

[@cloudstrife8436]

I literally beat more JRPGs on the switch than any othet console I owned combined. This machine was a game changer for me

[@Nintenite]

@@cloudstrife8436 Same here, mate 🤝

[@alanmurilo5007]

​@@Holy_Crusaderi have a PC that can run every RPG in this video at 4k60 and i'd still rather play them on Switch because nothing beats portable JRPGs.

[@shinra2755]

Triangle Strategy is a masterpiece. No one talks about it!!

[@ashenwolf3846]

This man, gave Three Houses the credit it deserves, well done friend.

[@lilprince1234]

I'm really happy that you highlighted Triangle Strategy and Fire Emblem Three Houses! I liked these two a lot!

[@chrisathian5450]

I can't even finish three house, it's horrible

[@90shandheldgamer]

Putting Three Houses and SMT V Vengeance in the top 2 automatically makes this one of the best RPG lists.

[@badmeetsevil6163]

Also putting FFIX in the top 5 and as the best FF

[@bluebird6287]

Indeed

[@threeswordssama]

I played Unicorn Overlord and Octopath Traveler II this year and I was just blown away by how fun those games are.

[@LN-Lifer]

Gonna have to finally give Octo a try I've heard for years how great it is but then when I investigate the actual game it just never sounded that great to me

[@gemodemplay415]

Crazy how I am still playing Fire Emblem Engager today, months after finishing it. I built my characters, they are all op and fun to use, ready to deploy, and I make challenges, I put only two characters in a map and have them compete who gets more kills and things like that, it is really fun. This never happened before, to where I come back to a game months after finishing it, no new game plus nothing like that, but still play it.

[@BigBossCQCLegend]

Fire Emblem Three Houses Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden are in my Top 10 VideoGames of All Time

[@LynkHyl]

What are the rest in your top 10?

[@Antonio-Can]

Great list, truly love it. The only problem is you have now added even more games to my backlog! 😮

[@bryangoncalves4694]

Bravely default 2 is very underrated

[@mikeivans47]

I feel like octopath has definitely overshadowed bravely this generation. I'm still waiting for a proper follow-up to the first two bravely games

[@PamonhasDePiracicaba]

Great list. Recently finished Dragon Quest XI S. It starts out slow and generic, but by Act 2 the hype is maximum.

[@sushilim7706]

Finally someone appreciated FETH, thank you so muchhhh

[@LN-Lifer]

Lol WTF are you talking about? That game is on probably 80% of these lists

[@nonthaburian08]

Three house is the reason I bought NS

[@Mintcar923]

Me too.. And Civ 6.. No regrets save my wallet

[@aoiperdana3936]

Same mate

[@Adamcarson34]

As someone would loves turn based rpg. This was an awesome video. And I think you for it

[@AntiSociableWallflower]

Thanks to your list I gave Unicorn Overlord a chance and I am LOVING this game. FE3H is my top pick, which is hard to choose between that and Persona 5.

[@RPGStory]

I've only recently got into the switch and it's such a great system for rpgs!

[@Kiiingcesa]

DRAGON QUEST IS GOATED FOREVER NOW R.I.P. 👑 TORIYAMA SENSEI 👑

[@NPP_1]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is probably my favourite game ever. It's just so good!

[@yaboy1414]

I love these List 🙌🏾💪🏾

[@adamyauch1343]

Chained Echoes in the top 5

[@blitzball4lyfe823]

Great list! I don’t see many people talk about it, but Divinity Original Sin II is unbelievable. I’m playing it on Switch and cannot get enough.

[@InsomThirteen]

Why do you consider Atelier Ryza as a turn based RPG, it has a real time battle system in fact

[@THEROOK2007]

Without a doubt, I affirm, this reviewer knows a lot about gaming.

[@etaygabbay3823]

Been debating for few days! What would you guys recommend? Shin Megami Tensei V, Persona 5 Royal, Fire emblem engage?

[@nickwick35]

Persona for sure then play strikers and tactica after

[@Cainb23]

Dragon quest 11s is by far the best rpg on the Nintendo switch and in my opinion best jrpg ever and I am not a Japanese lifetime dq fan I just saw an ad for it one day and bought it on a wim and it quickly entered my 5 best games all time so it’s silly to me how many people try to say it’s not even top 5 on the switch even with recency bias for other games which I’m positive is playing a huge part

[@beersmoker4444]

Switch legitimately should be called best rpg console of all time. Didn't agree with every pick but you Nailed #1!

[@SeventeenZero]

Since yesterday's video lost all it's konpaku, glad to see some turn based greatness in today's video.

[@Mintcar923]

Wow Ive been on a tb rpg kick lately especially strategy rpgs.. This is exactly what i needed.. PE is a mind reader!

[@erukizan]

gotta love fire emblem at 1 i completely agree

[@pedrobeckup456]

Baten Kaitos is underrated

[@artstar5994]

What game is that in the intro? Where Link is wearing those big gloves, and the other guy looks like Stryder.

[@victoriascholl4607]

😁👍 I finally managed to buy a Switch Oled the beginning of 2023 because I wanted to play the Fire Emblems games. I own seven older Fire Emblem games. I am slowly building a new collection. I have six of the games on your list. And there are several games you mentioned on my list to buy. 😁 👍 😆

[@Kozmo-Kamuy]

Turning into a watch mojo channel with all these top whatever

[@Jtzist]

Player Essence got me to loving RPG!!! I have Bravely Default 2, Astral Chain, Shin Megami tensei v, Octopath Travelers 2

[@hallofgames77]

I enjoy these style of videos

[@vgnvideogameninja2930]

Dragon Quest XI-S is actually the best of them all. Many of your picks make sense but some of the ordering of it is super whack.

[@gustiamun6255]

What game in 1:05 ?

[@GunslingerGaming]

I would put Dragon Quest XI S as number #1

[@WeebDweebTCG]

Really enjoyed the first Octopath Traveller. But when I had 60 hours in and realized I had to grind hours more for the characters I wasn't playing with I quit playing. lol

[@dragonblade7764]

I got a few to some of the games that are on this list. I give this video a 9.5 out of 10

[@osu_fishy]

Definitely prefer the turn-based format over Action RPG.

[@bethanyh1637]

The voice acting in Square Enix's recent games have kept me from playing more of their games. I don't remember it being a problem with the 1st Octopath, DQ11 had some good and some very bad VA, and Trials of Mana was so bad I liked it... But Bravely Default II broke me, it was irredeemably bad, and now its the first thing that notice in all their games. I couldn't get into Triangle Strategy or Star Ocean 2R because of it. It's a directing problem more than anything else.

[@mykindofgames8073]

Fire list

[@xxlaguzslayerxx9223]

Getting micaiah in fire emblem engage made me find my wii to replay radiant dawn. Best protagonist if you’re a magic lover lol.

[@sherry4353]

I like Tactical Ogre at the moment, it's a little bit difficult right now, but it's a good game in my opinion

[@andrewbailey559]

Bro you remake the same video every other month

[@nicklovett]

Like week, yeah…

[@JMrealgamer]

Not really, there is turn based RPG’s, Action RPG’s, and Strategy RPG’s, not to mention other genere’s OJ likes, so your probably getting confused with the other videos he created about those.

[@Hugh_Jainus]

New games come out, new perspective over time. Doesn't bother me at all, it's free content.

[@reggiedunlop2222]

Yet here you are watching 😂

[@JMrealgamer]

@@reggiedunlop2222 right?! 🤣

[@davemeech]

Unicorn Overlord came out of nowhere this year and ended up being one of my favourites of all time despite front loading the most well rounded content while the later part of the game felt repetitive and a bit more stale. I'm playing through it again a fourth time as we speak. This and Fire Emblem 3 houses were the big standouts on the switch for me, both with stupid amounts of hours.

[@zaythleon5847]

Dude I forgot about breath of fire. That seriously needs a remake. I think it'd be awesome to see ryu changing into a dragon modern day. His name was always Ryu right? Been awhile lol

[@engrboss2513]

I am wondering why Fire Emblem Engage is high up but Three Houses wasn't even mentioned yet but...behold it was there! 😄❤ From GBA era (Sacred Stones the GOAT) to modern console era, Fire Emblem series is just absolutely top tier.

[@unrealeck]

I've had FF Anthology Collection (FF5 and 6) on PS1 for 24 years now. It's an import. I STILL haven't played either.

[@paulzapanta154]

This is like the 5th time i saw a video from him with this title😂

[@benred796]

Great list, but Paper mario TTYD > Mario rpg >>>> mario + rabbids

[@zaythleon5847]

Fire emblem three houses is tied with persona and final fantasy for favorite rpg of all time. Game of the year for switch though is unicorn overlord

[@Monolithsoftninja]

turn based for me 1. Dragon quest 11 2. persona 5 3. Fire emblem three houses

[@eliotwildermann]

Great list 👌 😊

[@Joaogui13]

I'm going to say this but i didn't really like three houses. Don't get me wrong it was a good game, not the best, but as a fire emblem? No. When i played it, it didn't feel like a fire emblem game because of 90% of the monastery, they removed the weapon-triangle, 2 of the routes were copies, 1 was incomplete, only one was good and the dlc was a mess. The maps had nothing especial, all were kill boss and no map was unique. It felt like persona with the calendar and the side quests. Edelgard was a terrible villain and claude had nothing to the plot, you could remove him from the game and nothing would change. The things i did like were the combat arts and dimitri's character. I know i might get hate but i just found engage much more enjoyable to play rather than three houses.

[@Holy_Crusader]

I agree, three houses definitely did not feel like fire emblem, even if it’s story and world building is definitely good, I don’t think that makes up for its poorly designed map and bad map objectives. I think engage is good gameplay wise, but story wise it’s cringe and definitely not a game I will replay, I think the music in fire emblem engage was good but not nearly as good as three houses and past fire emblem games. The map design of engage is good, but still not nearly as good as fire emblem Conquest. In my opinion a game that combines all of the best aspect of Conquest gameplay, map design and map objectives with three houses story telling and level of music and character writing. I want a fire emblem game that combines all of the best aspects of previous iteration of fire emblem games. Pair up mechanic in Fates was really good so seeing it return in future entries is good, instead of trying to constantly reinvent the wheel and making use of new mechanics I rather see the return of previous mechanics in some fire emblem games.

[@DJK1NGGaming]

let alone how tedious the game is

[@RajamQED]

Agreed, the monastery and the generic map design killed the game for me. Honestly they need to completely get rid of the monastery BS in future entries. Even in Engage I found the somniel stuff to be too invasive

[@DJK1NGGaming]

@@RajamQED Well the Somniel was optional and wasn't really required unless you wanted to buy new stuff

[@joeb2588]

It'll be a crime if Ys VIII is not on the list...it's already an abomination that DQ XI S is not in the top 3. ( I feel it's #1), but that's me.. I see it's just turn based...so Ys VIII won't be on here!

[@yaboy1414]

8:56 One of my sleeper Hitz 🔥🔥💯💯 trust me

[@dotdot7476]

Nothing to do the list just some I noticed psvr2 has a price cut in UK from £529 to £349

[@Steinn0808]

final fantasy artwork driping

[@magoichiii3631]

where is Unicorn Overlord?

[@DwightWhitehouse]

The other systems may have graphics but switch has the funniest games and it probably that's why it my favorite console of all time I'm a switch super fan

[@DwightWhitehouse]

Portable lol

[@AnthonySmith-bj9mo]

hi OJ

24:32 Facts they went ham

[@Timestampguy22]

Octopath tracker blue dragon and fire emblem awakening only rpgs I’ve played to almost beating if not beaten

[@aoiperdana3936]

Thanks to switch I Can play rpg anywhere anytime

[@BenRiley83]

Fire Emblem Engage was terrible story wise. Ruined the game for me

[@pedrobeckup456]

While I didn't really like Baten Kaitos battle system but loved the Story Sometimes we just want a good narrative

[@gomisekai]

Not even a gameplay, just a bunch of trailer clips🙄

[@yaboy1414]

20:18 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

[@kevinlabelle4229]

Daybreak at #18… Yea right, top 5 for sure, or top 10 for those that insist on placing all three Xenoblade games in the top 5. The game was amazing, and one of the few long-running series that knows how to make a proper ending to a game together. Also, the Orbment system in this game is filled with a crazy amount of potential customization options and build types, if they all eventually lean towards each character’s strengths. I’m sorry, Falcom is way too under-rated for how efficient they are at churning out good games, and great JRPGs. I’ve played every Trails game in the serried, and there isn’t a single one I found to be bad or a bore to finish. Some were definitely inferior to others, but I only noticed that in hindsight truth be told.

[@DJK1NGGaming]

It would be Top 5 if he was a veteran Trails fan but he is new to it so that why

[@jellalfernandes9820]

Daybreak is kinda bad The battle system is interesting... for the first 30 hours but then become repetitive in both action and turn The characters are all underdeveloped, villains are a uninteresting, story is weak and almost nothing interesting happens for the majority of the time The maps are bland and the monsters are the same from Cold Steel games

[@jellalfernandes9820]

Also Cold Steel(and Reverie) games are terrible. Sky and Zero/Azure have some problems but the story and characters are a little interesting at least.

[@guiyerod444]

Bloke literally forgot the best JRPG on the switch.

[@thedrunkenones1812]

No eiyuden chronicles? Aw man

[@hafifmada9463]

Chained Echoes!!!!!!!

[@corey2232]

Octopath Traveler 2 is definitely my favorite turn-based RPG on the Switch. Really, it's my favorite RPG in general from this entire generation! Also, I wish I could get into Monatwr Hunter Stories... I tried so many times, pushed through about 25 hours of the 2nd game but couldn't get into it.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

Tactics Ogre instead of Triangle Strategy for me. Triangle Strategy was way too much loading screen, lore dumps and exposition and not enough actual game. Tactics Ogre got it about right. Enough story to carry the game - but not a book full. I read a lot anyway, and if I wanted a story - I would read a book. When I turn my console or PC on I want to play a game

[@danb.4420]

Mario RPG > TTYD?

[@caliber5457]

FF9 🎉🎉🎉

[@dkong1]

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THREE HOUSES ITS FLOWERS

[@_sparrowhawk]

Let's see the list without all these strategy RPGs. Also no one is playing SMT.

[@風上-l8y]

SLG的戰略性來講，火焰紋章Engage遠高于風花雪月（Three houses）

[@TyTye]

Advance Wars is good but its not a RPG

[@r1pperuk]

There is no such thing as a BEST RPG as they are all shite. Sorry, but I played Persona 5 and the first 5hrs of dullness I couldn't stay awake through it.
