The Turn-Based Tactics tag refers to a genre of strategy games that emphasize tactical decision-making and strategic planning. In turn-based tactics games, the action is divided into distinct turns or rounds, where each player takes their turn to make decisions and execute actions. This allows for a more thoughtful and strategic approach to gameplay.

In turn-based tactics games, players typically control a small group of characters or units and must navigate them through grid-based maps or environments. Each unit has its own unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, which players must carefully consider when making decisions in combat.

The gameplay in turn-based tactics revolves around positioning your units on the battlefield, utilizing their skills effectively, and exploiting the terrain to gain advantages over opponents. Planning ahead is crucial as players have time between turns to analyze the situation and develop strategies.

• Final Fantasy Tactics - A classic example of a turn-based tactics game with deep character customization systems wherein players lead a party of adventurers through complex battles while managing equipment, abilities, jobs/classes.
• XCOM series - Known for its challenging gameplay mechanics that require careful planning in combat scenarios against extraterrestrial threats by assembling squads, researching new technologies/skills.
• Banner Saga series - A Viking-inspired tactical role-playing game (RPG) where players navigate story-driven quests, choosing dialogue options while commanding their characters in turn-based battles featuring positional tactics.

Turn-Based Tactics games provide a slower-paced yet cerebral experience compared to real-time action-oriented genres. They challenge players' analytical thinking skills as they consider various factors such as unit placement, terrain advantage/disadvantage calculations, and potential consequences before executing their strategies to achieve victory.
