I personally often mix up tactic and strategy games.
sound similar, but they actually NOT
What different ....
| Btw XCOM salah satu yg punya 3 genre 1. Strategy (base & riset) + Tactic (turn based combat) and RPG hybrid |
1. Tactical Games: “One Move at a Time On Grid”
Tactic games are all about small decisions
You don’t command an army — you babysit every unit
Every step matters. One wrong move ? Boom. Restart.
You need to Focus on one thing micro decision
Penting : posisi, jarak, urutan giliran untuk skala kecil segmen 1 level 1 pertempuran doank
Biasa ambil keputusan mau Unit ini maju 2 kotak atau bertahan sambil healing ??
Game Ex:
1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Fire Emblem Series
3. Into the Breach
2. Strategy Games: “The Big Plan”
Strategy games are about the long game.
You don’t just fight — you build, manage, and plan ahead.
Economy first, war later… or rush? and Your choice Manage resources (gold, food, energy)
Ehmmmm.... Ini Gw mau Bangun ekonomi dulu bangun kota dulu di AOE2 baru perang ! 🩷
Seringan real-time (RTS) tapi kadang ada yg turn based juga si tapi skala perang Dunia (Map Besar)
Game Ex:
1. Age of Empires
2. Civilization
3. StarCraft
Who Win ?
If you like thinking carefully, step by step → Tactical games
If you like big plans and world domination → Strategy games
Or… just play both and Get Reward "feel smarter" On this Sat.
Now is it the Same ? I usually prefer tactic game than Strategy ones chess with swords and anime hair.
Last time i Easly Beaten FE Engage and Disgea 7 on Switch, But in other hands i RL RL hate Cities Skylines and ofc Civilization 6...
Bonus
And what about RPG
Whaat about RPG (Role-Playing Game)
Fokus utama: Progress perkembangan karakter & cerita
EXP + world-building kuat macam Dragon Quest , Skyrim, The Witcher dan Persona 4
Other Genre: SRPG Sering dikategorikan sebagai "Strategy RPG" karena gabungan strategi dan elemen RPG like Xcom Series
Ikatan Emosional RPG:
On Xcom Kamu membangun hubungan dengan tentara kamu; mereka punya nama, pengalaman, dan bisa mati permanen (permadeath),
membuat kehilangan terasa personal like Aerith on FF7.
