The subbranch of Tactical RPGs is not immune to diversity either. ... These were the days of Shining Force and later on Final Fantasy Tactics. ... Not only do we have what could be dubbed the traditional Tactical RPG, we now have games featuring real-time combat such as Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and the upcoming Blue Dragon Plus. ... Also newer games are trying to blend the tactical side with traditional RPG elements as seen in Archaic Sealed Heat. ... Throw in some Tactical RPGs featuring mechs such as Front Mission and Zoids Assault as well as off-the-wall titles like Operation Darkness, that stars Vampires, Werewolves, Army soldiers, and Nazis.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is a tactical RPG for the Nintendo DS developed by Square Enix. In a pattern much akin to six degrees of separation, this latest title is a distant relation to Yasumi Matsuno's Tactics Ogre, first for the Super Famicom in Japan and then remade for the PlayStation. As Matsuno's initial turn-based tactical RPG, full of political and social intrigue, Tactics Ogre reshaped the tactical mold into something that was to be used over and over again. Upon Matsuno leaving Quest and joining Square Enix, Tactics Ogre next begat Final Fantasy Tactics, another classic tactical RPG with a heavy focus on story and solid gameplay.

The interesting wrinkle here is that when outside of battle, it's possible to explore the world in the same manner as any other RPG, and that's where Dragon Age Journeys has something in common with western tactical RPGs. The X-Coms of the world have always a great deal more freedom than even Valkyria Chronicles, and Dragon Age takes that one step further by offering actual dungeons to explore, rather than asking players to take on simple missions like 'kill everyone.'

The world of Paradise Cracked was largely influenced by such movies as Matrix, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, as well as novels of Philip K. Dick and various other cyberpunk writers. It actually has one of the most interesting plots ever - but I won't give it away just yet. The game's genre can be called tactical RPG, drawing some of its best features from such games as X-Com, Jagged Alliance, Incubation and Fallout.

Vandal Hearts is one of the earlier tactical RPGs to hit the PlayStation. ... A simple tactical RPG, Vandal Hearts may not have had much depth, but it still stands as a solid overall game.

Atlus has always been famous for their Tactical RPGs, especially when it comes to the Ogre Battle series. ... I don't know if it was because of this that Atlus created Kartia: The Word of Fate (also known as Legend of Kartia when Konami published it in Europe), but this game is quite the opposite. It's fairly short, fairly easy, and serves as a good introduction to the world of Tactical RPGs.
