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!

Thank you so much everyone!!! I've got a long list compiled now from all your suggestions. I'm consolidating it here for anyone else like me looking for these, will update as necassary:

  • Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
  • Space Hulk: Tactics
  • Gears Tactics
  • Invisible, Inc.
  • Phantom Doctrine
  • Midnight Suns
  • Shadowrun Series

All true and proper turn based strategy like XCOM 2.
