Turn-Based Tactics

Turn-Based Tactics is a subgenre of strategy games generally focused on small-scale conflicts and controlling individual units instead of huge groups of combatants at once, often at the cost of removing or greatly simplifying non-combat strategic layers like resource management.

TBT games tend to place a higher worth on individual units. To accommodate this, detailed battlefield maps, status rules like stance or facing, and other realism-focused mechanics are common.

For TBT games overlapping with the RPG genre (in particular, the ability to alter units' equipment and gain experience), use SRPG tag instead.
