Turn-Based

Turn-Based is a curated catalog category on AnkerGames that gathers 54 turn-based PC games in one place, each listed with its version number, genre tag, release year, and installed file size. Instead of hunting across storefronts for strategy, tactics, and RPG titles that reward planning over reflexes, you can scan a single index that runs from small indie roguelikes like Megaloot (0.53 GB) to massive campaigns like XCOM 2 (68.50 GB). The catalog was last refreshed on Nov 3, 2026, and the most popular entries are Total War: ATTILA, Dice A Million, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

This page explains what the collection covers, how the listings are organized, which titles suit different play styles, and what to check before you download. If you want the broader library beyond turn-based titles, the Software Free Download hub covers the full range of categories on the site.

Technical Specifications

What the Turn-Based Catalog Contains

The collection mixes several subgenres that all share one design rule: you issue orders, the game resolves them, and you get time to think. That makes the list useful whether you want a sprawling historical campaign, a tight tactical squad game, or a deck-driven roguelike you can finish in a few sessions.

Grand strategy and real-time-with-pause campaigns

Total War: ATTILA (V 1.6.0, 14.40 GB, 2015) anchors the historical side of the list, with Total War: NAPOLEON (V 1.3.0, 12.80 GB, 2010), Total War Shogun 2 (V 1.1.0, 15.80 GB, 2011), and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS (V 1.7.1, 43.40 GB, 2019) rounding out the series. Sid Meier's Civilization VI (V 1.0.12.68, 18.40 GB, 2016) sits alongside them for players who prefer city building and diplomacy over battlefield command.

Squad tactics and cover-based combat

XCOM 2 (68.50 GB, 2016) is the largest single download in the catalog and the reference point for modern squad tactics. Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II (V 1.0.1.45, 15.80 GB, 2026) and Knights in Tight Spaces (V 1.2.19677, 3.50 GB, 2025) push the same idea into grimdark and card-driven territory respectively.

Party RPGs and Japanese role-playing games

A large share of the list is JRPG and party-based RPG material: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (V 68322, 42.90 GB, 2025), Persona 4 Golden (V 1.0, 7.90 GB, 2020), Yakuza: Like a Dragon (V 1.009, 35.80 GB, 2020), OCTOPATH TRAVELER (2.80 GB, 2018), Tactics Ogre Reborn (V 1.0.8.0, 11.80 GB, 2022), and Library Of Ruina (V 1.1.0.6a13, 5.20 GB, 2021). Classic Final Fantasy entries appear as well, from FINAL FANTASY II (0.29 GB) through FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster (35.90 GB).

Roguelikes, deckbuilders, and small-footprint picks

If disk space is tight, the catalog holds plenty of options under 1 GB: The Battle of Polytopia (0.15 GB), He is Coming (0.14 GB), Gnomes (0.19 GB), Dice A Million (0.19 GB), Megaloot (0.53 GB), Stoneshard (0.69 GB), Yarimono (0.73 GB), and LONESTAR (0.36 GB). Darkest Dungeon (V 28063, 3.00 GB, 2015) and Darkest Dungeon 2 (V 2.04.85095, 5.65 GB, 2023) cover the stress-and-attrition style of turn-based combat.

Who This Collection Is For

You'll get the most from this catalog if you prefer planning over reaction time. Players who enjoy weighing odds before committing a squad, building a party across dozens of hours, or replaying a run with different cards will find the spread here broad enough to stay busy. The list also suits people with limited bandwidth or storage: the sub-1 GB entries let you try a turn-based roguelike without clearing space for a 40 GB install.

If your taste leans toward wave defense and placement puzzles rather than grid combat, the Tower Defense Free Download section is a closer match. For a single sample of a compact strategy title, Legend of Defenders Free Download is worth a look.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: A single page that lists 54 games with version numbers and sizes, which saves cross-referencing between storefronts.
• Pros: Wide genre coverage from 0.14 GB indie roguelikes to 68.50 GB tactical epics, so the catalog scales to any storage budget.
• Pros: Release years are shown, making it easy to tell a 1997 remaster from a 2026 Early Access build.
• Pros: Popularity signals (ATTILA, Dice A Million, Clair Obscur) give newcomers a starting point.
• Cons: The catalog page itself lists 0 mb and no single version, because each title carries its own build and file size.
• Cons: The page metadata lists Android as the operating system while the entries are PC games, so verify the platform on each individual game page before downloading.
• Cons: Developer and publisher fields aren't populated at the catalog level, and system requirements aren't included in the index.
• Cons: Early Access titles such as Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era can change substantially between builds.

Version Freshness and Installation Guidance

The index was updated on Nov 3, 2026, and version strings are attached to each entry rather than to the category as a whole. That means freshness is a per-game question: Total War: ATTILA is listed at V 1.6.0, Wasteland 3 at V 1.6.9, Persona 4 Golden at V 1.0, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at V 68322. Some entries use build numbers instead of semantic versions, such as Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (B 23932740) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist (B 1514223), which is normal for titles distributed as fixed builds.

Before you install anything, check three things on the individual game page: the listed file size against your free disk space, the version string against the current build from the original studio, and the platform note. Large entries like XCOM 2 (68.50 GB), Total War: THREE KINGDOMS (43.40 GB), and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (42.90 GB) need room to unpack during installation, so plan for more than the stated size. No publisher or developer attribution is provided for the catalog page itself, so confirm the studio on each game's own listing. This page does not claim any scanning or cleanliness status for the files, and you should apply your own checks before running any installer.

Choosing Your First Download

Start with the popularity list if you want a safe bet: Total War: ATTILA for historical campaign strategy, Dice A Million for a light casual dice game at 0.19 GB, or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for a modern turn-based RPG. If you want a tactical challenge with a smaller footprint, Knights in Tight Spaces at 3.50 GB or Darkest Dungeon at 3.00 GB are reasonable entry points. For pure length, the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest entries deliver dozens of hours per install.

Whichever you pick, the catalog format lets you compare version, genre, year, and size side by side before you spend bandwidth. Browse the full 54-title list, note the version string on the game you want, and confirm the platform on its own page.
