/vr/ - Retro Games

For a moment I could swear this game was made by Sting (Ygdra Union, Riviera) by just the UI and big fonts.

It's like games developed by Sakurai, he uses the same kinda of menus in all of them.

Advance wars might be up your alley anon.

Not 100% what you asked for but I suggest you take a look at Heroes of Might and Magic III. There is a pretty active thread here somewhere.

As I said, it's not 100% what you want, but in my humble opinion, it takes the squad concept and crack it up to a 10.

ill go check those out

this is ogre battle 64, the best game ever. the entire games plot is controlled by an invisible stat this is affected by every action you make and still not perfectly mapped out

Seems like a gr8 game m8. wish it was emulable

>>4552127
it's just n64, surely it can't be that complicated? lemme go check my hyperspin

>>4552139
so far so good, some minor text box edges visible. might be fixable with cropping

>>4552072
I think Age of Wonders would be closer than HoMM for what he is asking
>>4552012
Tactics Ogre
Fire Emblem
FF: Tactics Advance

>>4552012
Bahamut lagoon, which hapens to be a great game (but maybe too easy).

Disciples, which is HoMM meets Ogre Battle, or Age of Wonders as >>4552478 put it. Though they both are more 4X than strategy RPGs.

Langrisser could fit the bill, if you count a general and his troops on nearby squares as a squad.

It's getting a bit far-fetched but if you don't mind RTSs, Kohan has squads instead of individual units.

Jagged Alliance 2

Dragon Force is the closest you'll ever get to Soul Nomad.

>>4552012
N1 is best.

>>4552478
those are just regular tactics games. im looking for more squad based stuff. something with a whole fuckload of characters and items

Langrisser & Dragon Force

Wachenröder. I never played it tho

Pretty much this.
We know homm is great. Disciples has nice art but the battles and leveling system aren't inspiring me. You can't out tactic the enemy when you're just trading blows. I'm trying to get into it.

Shining Force was inspired by Langrisser (Warsong). Both are really fun. SF brought me into the genre.

Master of Orion 2. Lots of different ship builds using turn based hex battle, different races, styles, advancement trees, and every game map is random.

Xcom. Alien invasion simulator. tactical squad rpg. Classic and in depth.

Brigandine: board game like risk. main heros act as chess kings on the hex board (you won't lose the battle until all 1-3 heros drop, but each hero's squad falls with him), all your units level and promote. Minor units suffer perma-death. Inspired by Master of Monsters.

Just started Ogre Battle, how are my formations looking up anons?

3 attacking squads, 2 city liberating units with high alignment and flying capabilities, and the rest mostly intended for defense

Dominions!

Shining Force on genesis. Just bought it but it hasn't arrived yet.

Related, is there any game like Advance Wars? Love that shit.

Super Famicom Wars

The Battle Isle series by Blue Byte.

>>4556621
Nectaris/Military Madness

>>4556621
Not retro but Field Commander and Tom Clancy's EndWar (PSP version) are probably the closest to what you want.
