The Turn-Based tag refers to a gameplay mechanic or style in which players take turns making their moves or taking actions, typically in a strategic or tactical setting. This means that the game progresses step by step, with each player making their decisions before the next turn begins. This type of gameplay allows for more thoughtful decision-making and planning.

In turn-based games, each player waits for their turn to come up and then decides on an action to take. Once they complete their turn, control switches to the next player or opponent. This cycle continues until a specific win condition is met or the game reaches its conclusion.

Compared to real-time games where actions occur simultaneously and continuously, turn-based games offer distinct benefits:

  • Strategy and Planning Turn-based gameplay allows players to carefully consider their options before committing to any action. They can analyze scenarios, anticipate outcomes, and devise strategies accordingly.
  • Pace Control Since each player takes turns at their own pace, turn-based games often allow players greater control over the tempo of the game. They can take as much time as needed between turns without feeling rushed.
  • Fairness and Equality By providing equal opportunities for all players within a set structure of turns, turn-based mechanics promote fairness in multiplayer matches. No one has an advantage based on reaction speed alone.

This tag applies to various genres such as strategy games (e.g., Civilization V) where players control nations and make decisions on city management, military movements, diplomacy, etc., but also extends across other genres like RPGs (e.g., Divinity: Original Sin 2) with tactical combat systems resolved through alternating turns.

In summary, turn-based gaming offers a more thoughtful and strategic approach, providing players the opportunity to carefully plan and execute their actions in a turn-by-turn fashion.
