I enjoy both turn-based and action combat. I like how turn-based combat allows for some strategies without being overly complex like in most TRPG.

I was a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 OG, but I can't get into FF7 remake mainly because of the hybrid combat. I would rather have it turn-based like in the original.

Turn-based games I like:
Final Fantasy 5,6,7,9,10. Dragon Quest series, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG

Action-based RPG I like:
Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Skyrim

How do you feel about turn-based combat? Should more modern games adopt it, or is it best left as a thing of the past?

Both Mario + Rabbids titles came out in the last five years, and they’re turn based. Also really fun to play, due to the dynamic upgrades and animations compared to older games.

Pokémon is also still massively popular, and indie games often utilize it too - Moonstone Island is technically a deck builder but the turn based combat remains.
