This poll is really, really bad. Satellite Reign, Legends of Eisenwald, Hard West, ICY, Bedlam, Telepath Tactics, Invisible Inc, and Hard West are blatant non-rpgs. Victor Vran is way to rpg-lite to be considered an Arpg.
I agree with no Jrpgs, since they are not even close to rpgs. I really liked ICY and Telepath Tactics but they are not rpgs, period. I really liked Templar Battleforce and I honestly just don't see it. Heroes of Steel, yes, I see it. But not Templar. Hard West, Invisible Inc (both of which are extremely rpg-lite) are clearly squad TBS with extremely lite rpg elements.
This is the bottom line - if developers want their games counted they should make proper rpgs. If people want games you really like counted you should really like proper rpgs.
Blackguards 2 has enough going on outside of the squad TBS mode to somewhat muddy the lines, wheras Templar really doesn't. And I like Templar and hate BG 2 with a firey passion for them ripping the DSA system out of it. But BG 2 should stay.
I think Sword Coast Legends is complete trash garbage and even though it is very rpg-lite it is still has the wrappings of a proper rpg, but should clearly be included.
I, personally, wouldn't even put Kyn on the list as it is a little muddy but not muddy enough to warrant inclusion.
Why would you include Legends of Eisenwald but not HoMM 7? In rpgs they don't rape you and take all your shit and your squad all the time for no reason. It is very rpg-lite and is not a rpg at all. It is HoMM type game. I don't know enough about Underrail and Chroma Squad and Carribean to comment other than the first two are kids games and why not include Wizards 101 and Disney Infinity?
I like the idea of this post, but you need to remove the non-rpgs for this to be valid.
