Best Metroidvania Turn-Based Tactics Games on PC

Control Craft 2

This is a enjoyable, addictive and challenging game which you can play for hours. I lik’d 95% of the game due some facts that’s a great potential about very well concept of fast thinking style game. The art, music, voice acting and graphics, gameplay are great and plus 10/10 though. On the other hand in some cases the gameplay feels unbalanced in some missions that makes harder(last levels only) even with the upgrades. Only thing i may suggest if apply is a reset upgrades/stats button if it’s possible.

Very fun RTS game, similar to Mushroom Wars, Galcon etc.

Essentially each map is built as a number of resource generators. Whoever controls the generator gets the units it creates. You send those units out to capture other generators. The AI is decent - there’s a challenge here and you’ll have to use the powerups wisely on some levels to give yourself an edge (especially early on to deny the computer rapid resource capture as you tend to start levels with less resource than the computer)

Dev has recently updated the game to fix the achievement bugs.

Monster Sanctuary

This game is totally worth it.

If you enjoy the monster-taming formula from games like Pokemon (and others), but wanted it to be a little more “meaty” in terms of strategy, then look no further!

Why this game is great:

3 v 3 battles. This makes it so team dynamics are important. Instead of each individual monster needing to be a powerhouse of some sort, you can have monsters focusing on a variety of roles, damage / tanking / buffing / debuffing / etc. Playing around with team compositions is really fun.

I would not recommend playing this game with a guide until you’ve finish the majority of the story - I feel that the exploration is part of what makes this a great experience.

I don’t write reviews very often, but I felt that this game deserves some merit that makes it stand out amongst it’s competition.

Initially I thought Monster Sanctuary lacked depth, as the first biome and battles felt slow and didn’t have much to choose from - I think it took about 2 hours to get to a place where I could appreciate the level of quality that this game presents.
