barkul

fft

ffta, tactics ogre, fire emblem.. etc.

dowII and worldshift argueably also apply

kings bounty

some of the x-com games do

and tbh though its a technicality dowII is argueably a very solid contenteder.. its singleplayer isnt long and its not turn based as is stereotypical of the sub-genre but its certainly satisfying.

but if you want to be puritain about it my vote goes to x-com terror from the deep.

My favorite period would probably be Shinning Force, but on the PC it would be either King's Bounty or Silent Storm.

No idea where these new crappy terms like SRPG came from, but I guess Valkyria Chronicles fits in that.

If it qualifies, I think I would choose Heroes of Might and Magic 2. It has a very special place in my heart. Some might argue that Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is the superior game, but the art, sound, and music of 2 wins me over.

It is good to see an X-Com 2 fan out there. I also like the game a lot. Some say that it is too difficult and poorly balanced. My response is, you expect aliens to invade Earth and it be a fair fight?

Xcom

Edit: A few posts on this thread makes me want to go online and buy Terror from the Deep. I heard some bad things about it, but maybe I should ignore those and get the game anyway.

Why have a different question in the OP than in the title?

Anyway... best Strategy RPG of all time is Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down.

It stands for Strategy Role Playing Game which does make sense, but then again I usually just call them Tactics games even if they do differ from Final Fantasy Tactics... There are way too many RPG terms anyway so I like to keep them separate. I mean there is WRPG, JRPG, MMORPG, SRPG, and RPG just to name a few... Anyway, Ogre Battle 64

Best SRPG on PC: Silent Storm

I really enjoyed Temple of Elemental Evil as well.

Shining Force 1 and 2 are both on the PC now via the genesis pack. My favorite is Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions but Shining Force 2 is the best that the PC has.

I would say that it's easily Silent Storm, although X-Com and the King's Bounty games are also amazing.

hmmm... i haven't played a whole lot of them, but i'd say Vandal Hearts or one of the Front Missions. both on PS1.

I would say that it's easily Silent Storm, although X-Com and the King's Bounty games are also amazing.Planeforger

i'd say Silent Storm and X-Com are more turn based strategy games. great ones, that is.

Fallout 3 is not a SRPG, it's not even a good RPG!. I would say Jagged Allience, Xcom, even Fallout Tactics is ok.

Fire Emblem is pretty awesome. However FE 4 is better than FE 7 in almost every way. Just out of curiousity, what is your favorite PC SRPG?

if eveything goes, this thread belongs to general gaming discussion or system wars. is consistency too much to ask for mods around here?

I'm guessing those that have played it will say Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape Torment. I've not played either, but I know these have frequently been tagged with the accolade.

There are a little too many votes for console exclusives in this thread... Discussions comparing games across platforms to each other belong in the GGD. Sorry, but per the rules, this threads needs to close. Feel free to continue this in the appropriate forum. :)
