If someone is releasing, say, a western XCom clone and expecting Baldur’s Gate 3 level success, they might have another thing coming… Since it would have a niche audience.
Like, obviously I’m not talking about games like Baldur’s Gate 3 here, I assumed that was obvious from context but I may not know what Lamplighter’s League is like!
I was assuming it was more like Hard West, or Wargroove, the Fire Emblem series, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics… there’s a difference between a specific genre and games that are turn-based and require strategy. Hopefully that makes sense.
Also half of the games you listed are pretty old (10+ years). Yeah, it’s a bit niche. But go off weirdo
There’s also the Mario + Rabbids series which is still pretty niche if you’re asking me.
It really is a niche entry. It’s a weird gameplay mix of real time stealth and then turn-based combat. It’s also a weird setting mix of fantasy and noir.
And the turn based gameplay just isn’t as fun or deep as XCOM or even gears tactics.
Kudos to paradox for trying something, but I’d rather to they released CS:2 earlier instead

Especially since those wanting a new game to scratch the Xcom itch are probably going to play Xenonauts 2.
