For those who loved the turn-based tactical combat and the high-stakes strategic layer of VOIN, XCOM 2 is a natural successor. Set 20 years after humanity's defeat in the alien war, you lead the resistance against the occupying alien force. The game masterfully blends squad-based tactical combat with a global strategy layer where you manage your base, research new technologies, and recruit soldiers. The permadeath of your soldiers and the constant pressure of the alien threat create an incredibly tense and engaging experience. The strategic planning required to succeed mirrors the demanding nature of VOIN's decision-making.

This grand strategy RPG focuses on your dynasty's lineage, guiding your rulers through intricate political landscapes, wars, and personal intrigues. You'll manage relationships, plot assassinations, arrange marriages, and ensure your heirs are well-positioned to inherit your legacy. The emergent storytelling and the focus on long-term consequences of your decisions are key draws, providing a rich, character-driven experience akin to the personal stakes felt in VOIN.
