What game can I play that has the following requirements:

  • AI
  • Randomised or buttload of scenarios
  • 5-30 minutes per game
  • No unlocks/purchases/progression
  • No/few dice rolls
  • Party composition
  • Runs on 800x600 window

Emulators and mods welcome.

No party composition. There's chess 2, but it's barren and the AI sucks.

There's no point in keeping all those dead links or games that haven't been released and no news in 5 years in here. At least move them to a different category.

Nahlakh is not a Rogue like. It should be in the CRPG section.
Also, Disciples of Steel is missing from the CRPG section.

Is there an alternative to Xenonauts these days? I've already played Xcom and JA. The line of sight and hide/spot thing of SS turns me off. Anyone played the X-Division mod for Xenonauts?

Ogre Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics are some of my favorites types of game play but I don't see that very often. Can someone recommend something that's similar and worth playing? Thanks!

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
How is Chaos Reborn if you're only interested in the single player portion of the game?

You should try out Hellenica if you're into small squad tactics, it's coming out soon.

"fight alongside the technologically augmented king of Sparta against rebels committed to tradition"

why would I fight against rebels committed to tradition? What happened to the dual monarchy?

is there C&C in this game or am I railroaded into a steam-punk fantasy world where some liberal arts idiot saves the world?

He turns into a bear, so it's okay.

I purchased it to show my support for the Hellenic theme. I pray for a world where all games have a strong Classical theme.
