ssjevot 02/09/22 11:26:54 PM #4:	I find I actually find action RPGs the most boring. You tend to lose the skill of straight action games and the strategy of turn based, and it often devolves into just mashing attack. That said many turn based RPGs have extremely shallow systems that often devolve into just picking attack and healing as needed. But stuff like SMT and even DQ is great at providing you a lot of strategy in battles. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:962518523] in Still can ...

Cobra1010 02/09/22 11:35:02 PM #11:	It's kinda like card battling games, hearth stone, gwent, those games are turn based. Then you have deck building games like slay the spire. They are fun.
