    Roleplaying in turns - 25 best tactical RPGs
    As hack'n'slash constitutes one extremity of the RPG genre, its other side are the tactical RPGs, emphasizing complex, strategic battles played in turns. Here's a ranking of the 25 best tactical RPGs, according to our staff.

    Tactical RPG, also known as SRPG, is a genre that's been present on the market for over 30 years. They're most commonly associated with Japan and gaming consoles. It's a natural consequence, as the genre was popularized by the Fire Emblem series, which didn't come to Europe until 2004. That's why SRPG, while highly popular in Japan, remains on the sidelines of western gaming. In recent years, however, it seems like the situation is slowly changing.

    Thanks to indie titles such as The Banner Saga or Invisible, Inc. and the latest installments of the Fire Emblem series on Nintendo 3DS, more and more people are picking up interest in tactical RPGs. That's why we've decided to prepare for you a list of the best representatives of the genre, according to our staff.
