are there any modern games like it? I dont like the "stand in a line and fight" jprgs but i like the move your chars around a battlefield like a chessboard jrpgs. just realized this is probably why i like into the breach so much

    I recommend every game in this thread. It's a pretty small genre unfortunately.

    Not totally related but since you mentioned Into the Breach, have you played FTL? The same two guys made it before ITB. It's sort of real time but you can input commands when paused and you should be pausing constantly, it's a part of the game. The learning curve is STEEEEEEEEP but learning is fun. Gotta plug the it since it's my favorite game ever.

      i have but i was trash at it. i get really impatient with the pausing and never even beat the final ship once. will give it another shot though. i always meant to get back to it especially for the soundtrack

        It takes a really long time to get good at it. There are a lot of subtle tricks to playing, if you haven't looked up a first time player guide I'd recommend it.

          Yeah, FTL is deceptively deep. Right now I'm finally catching up with Darkest Dungeons, which I can't tell if it's deceptively shallow or if I just haven't gotten into it enough.
