TurnBasedLovers: 10 Intriguing Turn-Based RPGs & Strategy Games

By | February 18, 2022

TurnBasedLovers have again published a new article (together with a video) about some of the most interesting games for 2022. The list includes this time mostly RPGs, but there are also 2 games potentially of interest for us CivFanatics:

  • Dominus, which is a turn-based multiplayer empire-management game. Right now it looks heavy on battles, but the battles definitely look better for a video. So we’ll see when it’s released how much inspiration from Civ they took
  • Citizens, a turn-based city builder. It also includes puzzle-elements, a campaign, and a demo is also available, for everyone who is interested.

New indie game release: Roma Invicta

Since the last 1-2 years have been a bit low on Civilization-related news, we want to bring the CivFanatics also other news, which might be of interest. Therefore we are also covering other games, which fall in the categories of turn-based strategy, 4X, empire building, historical games, and similar.

We saw on Twitter a tweet about this lovely small indie game: Roma Invicta. This game features a turn-based campaign map, as well as real-time battles, just as in “Total War”. The game graphics are obviously not comparable, since this game seems to be developed by a one-person-studio. The price of currently 4.49€ probably makes up for it though. So if you want to bridge the waiting time to the next “Total War” release, this might be worth having a look at.
