Re: [blind-gamers] Turn based combat

[Paul Lemm]

Morning Michael,

 

The two Manamon games by VG Storm are quite popular in the audio games 
community, both are turn based games, they are very similar to Pokémon, in that 
you go round  collecting new Manamon and battling other Manamon. I think they 
are both priced at $40, but both have a pretty big free demo which you can play 
to get a feel for the game and see if you like them. I’m going to do a little 
shameless self-promotion here, although it’s still in development   so not 
ready for download yet, but if you like Turn based RPG’s, I’ve been working on 
a set of tools called Sable, which lets you build your own turn based RPG’s, 
but the best bit is that it requires absolutely no coding or scripting what so 
ever. I produced a few videos of me demonstrating Sable, showing how easy it is 
to create Maps, battles etc. if you’re interested I’ll put the link to the 
first video in the series below, its about ten minutes and just shows me 
creating a map, placing items, buildings, sounds and then walking around that 
map, if you’re interested you can check out the other videos on the channel 
too, where you see me turn the map in that first video into a little mini game, 
with a couple of quests and battles. The game design team here at Ebon Sky 
Studios are also in the process of producing our own turn Based RPG called 
Crimson Eclipse which will be created using Sable, this is also still only in 
development so not ready for download, but if you’re interested in turn based 
RPG’s and want to stay up to date on news and updates regarding its 
development, we post updates on our social media channels. Anyway if you are 
interested the link to the Sable video is below, links to our social media are 
in my signature

I have played most offerings on the iPhone, but have just recently discovered 
that there are actually great titles on PC. I have played A hero’s call and 
entombed (well as far as level 7, sigh), and I have always enjoyed turn based 
games, so these were really enjoyable to me. It was just the combat portion 
that was turn based, but that is fine. Also interested in empire building or 
other games that are completely turn based, like civilization, or other games 
with turn based combat.

Tactical Battle from Ian Reed, Time of Conflict and Trek2000 from GMA, 
Smugglers (the whole series), everything from VGA, Paladin of the sky from VG 
storm, some of Aprone's games might count - temporal definitely does, Dragon 
Village from Rocky Waters, Warsim from Wastelander... I think I've covered a 
fairly wide group of genres here, but those are all off the top of my head, and 
there certainly are more options available.

I remember it. I used to play most stuff microprose released. Civ and UFO 
/x-com were the best of them, but I do remember masters of orion. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

There is a command-line port of the 1993 game Master of Orion which is 
available. If you’re not familiar, it’s basically civilization in space, more 
or less.

The one downside is that the text-based combat display is a little annoying, 
the game doesn’t provide quite as much info as it should. You can fortunately 
automate combat, and can win without having to fight much at allis you play 
properly.

You can download the game from my 
Dropbox<https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqarb670u0c253k/1oom%20all-in-one%20release%20V1.3.zip?dl=0>,
 it includes a manual for the original DOS program and a command reference for 
the text-based port. Run Orion.exe to get started. Questionmark is your best 
friend.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
