Are there any good tactics games on Steam I can play on my Deck?

Are there any good tactics games on Steam I can play on my Deck?
I was interested in Tactics Ogre but from the reviews all the fans of the series says it's the shittiest version of the game.
Are there any other tactics games like Final Fantasy Tactics or something?

    if the deck can run psp emulator you can play the better version. The steam version is still great especially if you don't have the other version to compare it to

    The deck can play basically anything you want and with the track pads, radial menus, and community control schemes, you can find a way of even making rts games feel good without a mouse and keyboard.

      PSP vrsion is better
      PSP version also has the mod Tactics Ogre.

      You can also play FFT on the PSP too (or the original on PS1). If you play FFT get the patched version to remove slowdown

      The problem with Reborn is, apart from it being a fricking full priced game, is that it relies a lot on RNG to a certain extent
      It depends on how loose you are with the 'tactics'.
      You could even accept something like Pillars of Eternity

      The cards being RNG and builds being far, far more limited now really made it seem like they were scared to balance it properly

        Having some element of RNG is not a huge deal when it doesn't control the entire flow of the game. You sound like the kind of moronic homosexual that screams about tactics rpgs not being "real tactics" games because everything doesn't boil down to a series of perfectly reproducible decisions like a flowchart.

            RNG doesn't need defending as a concept. It's something that's a part of pretty much any single player game. There's shitty RNG and there's good RNG, but saying "This game is bad because it has RNG" is too stupid to argue with. The cards aren't gamebreaking in any way and you come off like a mixmaxing homosexual if you get mad about them.

            Don't.
            The anon has already decided that the RNG cards = all RNG

            RNG exists in the base game. Using the rewind feature and altering how you do things can have different results, moving 3 squares instead of 4, can make it so you have a higher/lower chance of recruiting, for example.

            Fundementally RNG in tactics games isn't bad, no (or any game) but the cards gimmick in the remake just destroys the conept and it becomes a game of 'get the card asap'

    It is. No random battles for recruitment/money making/etc purposes. Cards show up randomly on the battlefield for some moronic reason which increases the RNG. In the PSP version you collect them after defeating enemies that can be used for buffs later on. The skill system is dumbed down for downies. Idiots say its a QoL change but it actually gives you less freedom to make your units how you wish. Emulate the PSP version on the Deck. Trust me.

      You're an idiot. More skills where half of the skills are either useless or "you need to equip this" isn't customization, it's pointless bloat. If you can't tell the difference between good customization features and pointless numbers bloat then you have no place arguing about quality of a game.

        My point still stands, clown person. Its robbing you of freedom regardless of skills you need and don't need. You could also equip like 8 or 10 in the PSP version. In Reborn its a measly 4 or something and I know most of the skills have been blended to the classes but I don't give a shit.

          It's really not doing anything of the sort, if anything you have more versatility due to how the game reworked equipment so you can stack a lot more skills through your equipment compared to the PSP version.
          By the way, the PSP version was the one that actually robbed you of freedom since it reworked the class and equipment system to be locked so you can't equip items freely anymore like in the original version of the game, I don't see you recommending the SNES/PS1 version though, so much your that freedom.

    here's the deal anon I'll explain it and you should listen because I doubt you will get another anon to actually do so.

    the SNES and PS1 versions has a chance for game ending bugs if you use the translation patch. not to mention they are pretty different in terms of content anyway and not overall as fun or interesting to play. feels like a good first draft, but nothing more.

    PSP version is decent but still has almost all of the issues reborn has as far as balance goes, but the biggest crippling issue is the grind. it takes no exaggeration about 10 times as long to do anything in the PSP version compared to reborn. that means if grinding a fight takes 20 minutes in reborn, expect yourself to need to grind it for 3 and half hours for similar results in the PSP version. this issue is exacerbated due to the game already being quite long. reborn is easily a 700 hour game for one thorough play through if you want to fully explore it you could go well over that easily into the 1000s. This means the PSP version will be dragging you into the tens of thousands for the same content. it is a slog. avoid it. don't listen to these hardcore gays who dislike reborn.

    one vision is a mod for the PSP version that rebalances classes and abilities across the board. it would be the best version to play and definitely had the best balance if not for once again the instancely slow grind of the PSP version.

    reborn rebalances some things from the PSP version and improves upon it, but due to some pretty shitty overlooking of status effects and wording some options, very fricking few, but still some are no longer worth pursuing. hit % does not matter anymore for example. you almost always hit in reborn. some interactions with very high level spells and content are not as intricate anymore due to these overlooked things. it really won't come up that bad but if it bothers you it is worth knowing. the tradeoff for the slightly worse polish is that the game plays faster and smoother

      ran out of text.

      the other controversial thing in reborn is the cards. in the PSP version you collected cards that had a chance to drop from enemies these cards gave you a random stat boost or sometimes even detracted from your stats and were then added to your inventory as items that you could use to increase certain stats. more than half of which were almost always worthless. reborn still has these cards for the random stat ups and down, but there are other cards on the field for flat bonuses that are not RNG. when you or an enemy pick these up they are instantly buffed. they provide an incentive to move certain places aside from just closer to the enemy or standing on high ground as the bonuses do matter. it is for me a welcome addition of non RNG depth. haters of the system are die hard PSP fans and they are not really fans of the series, they just really like their version of the game and that version alone.

      >translation
      As of the last patch 2-ish months ago almost all of these were fixed, there's one glaring one still there that was carryover from the PSP version, and the other one the fanbase is no longer sure if it was ever an issue

    gays were coping with the fact that you couldn't level grind anymore when the game came out. Reborn is the best version easily and it brought back a lot of the uphill battle gameplay the SNES version had that the PSP version dumpstered to make a more modern PSP RPG where you can do whatever you want by grinding for hours like other games Square was putting out at the time.

    I'm not sure what these 'fans' are thinking but after 200+ hrs in this game I would be surprised if I'm playing the shittiest one. I highly suggest playing reborn.

    I'd never played another version of TO before Reborn, but I was genuinely shocked when I saw the Steam reviews after finishing the game for the first time. No way in hell is the game a "Mostly Positive". It's completely possible there's technically better versions, but I would still stake my value on Reborn being a good game. No tactics title has ever made me feel quite like I'm a shitter rebel against impossible odds like Reborn did.

    There's no definitive version of the game but this one is the most comfortable to get running since it's native to PC and not running off an emulator. It's a toss up between this version and a total conversion mod for the psp version, which had some bad design decisions.

    It's morons who got filtered because they couldn't grind and over level. Honestly though they should've made the level up an optional difficulty mode so people wouldn't throw a big stink.
    Some people don't like cards but they're fine. All of the balance changes are better and anyone telling you "but only 4 skill slots!" And "no multi classing!" Is a total fricking moron

    I, as a fan of final fantasy tactics, can I assure you that tactics ogre it is, and by a huge margin, one of the best tactics games (if not THE best tactics game) atm, more even if you are playing it on a Steam Deck (i'm playing it for the first time from my deck). Holy frick it's just too fricking good.

    I loved Tactics Ogre but it felt really unbalanced, at least the PSP version did. Archers were too strong while a lot of other classes felt too weak, it also didn't help that a new class started at level 1 even on NG+.

      Reborn tunes down the archer's overpoweredness.

      That's why I prefer reborn, getting a new beast unit wasn't pure misery. I liked gathering a wide assortment of monsters.

      What you just expressed were changes made SPECIFICALLY for the PSP version. Reborn is based on the SNES version which does not have that issue.
