These games are a bit heavier on the strategy side than the RPG side, but you're still speccing out characters:
Mario+Rabbids
XCOM 2 (Currently on sale for $20)
Phantom Doctrine (can often be had for <$10 on the eShop)
Othercide

These are games I haven't played myself, but have heard good things about:
Wintermoor Tactics Club
The Banner Saga
Divinity Original Sin 2 (my understanding is that the Switch port is pretty excellent)

I personally found playing Divinity 2 with a controller to be a terrible experience compared to mouse but you do you

Thanks, guys!

@Antifar definitely appreciate the recommendations, dude, I am kind of hoping to find something closer to shining force than xcom if possible but I do like both

Also that wintermoor tactics club looks perfect for me

If the Brigandine game on the Switch is as good as the old PS1 game, then it's probably pretty good.

Do I need to know anything about the other disgaea games to get into 5?

I did like those nippon ichi* strategy RPGs back in the day but funnily enough never picked up that series

They are unrelated, at least four and 5 are.... I honestly cant remember about 2, its been too long.

With dlcs you can recruit old mcs, but you travel to their netherworld to do it and its unrelated to the main game.

Nah the Disgaea games are all standalone.

You can recruit characters from the other games but they are more like little cameos and are usually post game. Although I think D5 made them all DLC, and the switch version comes with all the DLC so you can get them all at the beginning I think.

idk if there's any strategy to it, but the Switch also has Golf Story, which seems pretty interesting

I think I remember playing the original a few years ago, played a romhack of the special edition with translations and even optional voiceovers. Was pretty good

It's solid, yeah. Hard is hard.

Banner of the Maid. SRPG set in revolutionary France, plays a lot like Tactics Ogre

I always preferred ogre battle to tactics ogre. I wonder if there any games like that? I mean they're fairly unique real time strategy (tactics?) games

I agree with everyone saying Disgaea, though for some reason I can't get into 1 and 4's Complete editions. I played 5 first and it just feels... bad going backwards. Kinda like going back to Persona 3/4 after playing 5, but to a more extreme degree.

Disgaea 5 is a solid A+ recommendation in my book though.

Thats good to hear. I used to play Brigandine: Legend of Forsena a lot back in the day.

LoR is on my wishlist, but I'm holding out for a price drop or sale.

Banner of the Maid is on my steam wishlist.

I thought Divinity Original Sin 2 ran fine on my Switch. It probably crashed once or twice, but nothing like Wasteland 2.
