Different units can often attack from different angles akin to chess, where knights can “hop” over pieces to gain an advantage. If you’ve played the likes of “Shining Force,” “Fire Emblem” or “Tactics Ogre,” you should know what to expect, but, for everyone else, tactical RPGs are pretty standard fantasy/sci-fi romps with an important twist.īattles are turn-based, taking place on a grid with plenty of terrain-based considerations such as the use of cover, height advantage and bottlenecks. Nintendo’s dominion over the Japanese market is evident as ever, but one Japanese role-playing game stood out far above the rest: “Project Triangle Strategy,” a tactical RPG by Square Enix and obvious successor to the massively popular “Final Fantasy Tactics” from 1997.

The best “Mario” fans got was the unveiling of a spinoff title, “Mario Golf Super Rush.” There were no details regarding the next “The Legend of Zelda” game, nor any additional information for “Metroid Prime 4,” which was teased all the way back in June 2017. 17, Nintendo hosted its first full-length “Nintendo Direct” in two years – streamed online, of course – and fans of first-party titles were left largely disappointed.
