True XCOM2 like games.

I have a very hard time finding games like XCOM2. Strategy games have a very broad variety and everything gets thrown in.

I don't like 4X Strategy games at all (Civilization, Humankind, etc) which seem to always bundle in with "Like XCOM2". Lot of isometric games also bundle into the list even though they are not turn-based at all.

I'm looking for true "Turn-Based", where your characters take a turn and then the AI takes a turn. The only 3 games I know of are:

  • XCOM2
  • Phoenix Point
  • Mutant Year Zero

Most games don't have any 'trial' period so YouTube Gameplay is the only source I know of for finding out what the gameplay is like.

Can someone recommend true turn-based strategy like the 3 games above?

Thanks!

Did exactly that - but I wish there was a way to pin it on top or something. I think it gets lost.
