Several weeks after its release for Nintendo Switch 2, fans worldwide continue exploring this tactical role-playing game, prompting recommendations for what to play next while waiting for Intelligent Systems to reveal plans for downloadable content.
Final Fantasy Tactics
For players who enjoy navigating tricky terrain and swapping character classes in Fortune’s Weave, the 2025 remake of Final Fantasy Tactics offers a similar experience. While not as difficult as the 1998 PlayStation original, it demands deep engagement with its job system to determine which team compositions suit specific battles. Players are expected to grind through “optional” skirmishes even on normal difficulty, and a grim yet moving story about nobility exploiting common people makes it worth revisiting.
Fire Emblem Engage
The 2023 title Engage didn’t inspire the same cultural phenomenon as Three Houses, largely because its story is flat and forgettable. Still, its combat and maps are highly enjoyable. The central mechanic—Emblem Rings—lets players equip anyone in their squad with skills from past Fire Emblem heroes, enabling extensive customization. Building a strong bond between a character and an Emblem allows them to inherit some of that Emblem’s skills permanently.
Wargroove
This 2019 strategy game from indie developer Chucklefish suits players who favor permadeath. It features more than 12 unique Commanders, each with a special ultimate ability called a “Groove” that charges during combat—ranging from healing powers to building walls. One commander named Caesar is described as a golden retriever in silver armor adorned with red feathers.
Shining Force 2
Sega’s entry into the strategy RPG genre hasn’t achieved the decades-long success of Fire Emblem, but this 1990s title still offers memorable maps, including a giant chessboard and floating rafts. Its story is minimal—centered on a broken magical seal containing ancient evil—but its unique characters, including a werewolf, a phoenix, and a flying jellyfish with ice magic, make Shining Force 2 worth checking out for retro game fans. Players who find social simulation and calendar management stressful in Fortune’s Weave will find none here.
Unicorn Overlord
If players enjoyed gradually unlocking the world map in Fortune’s Weave, Vanillaware’s 2024 tactical RPG takes a similar exploratory approach as it liberates towns and gathers resources. The main story follows a standard premise—assembling an army to overthrow an evil empire—but optional adventures and character-driven missions offer more depth. Like Fortune’s Weave, Unicorn Overlord features more than 60 recruitable characters across various classes, combined into squads of up to five for turn-based combat. Players can customize the order in which skills and passive abilities trigger to maximize damage.
