Turn-based strategy games are a genre of video games where players take turns making decisions and executing actions. Each player has a set amount of time to plan their moves, which can include attacking, defending, or building resources. This format allows for careful planning and strategic thinking, as players must anticipate their opponent's actions. These games often feature a variety of units, terrains, and objectives, requiring players to adapt their strategies. Popular examples include Civilization, XCOM, and Fire Emblem. Turn-based strategy games can be played solo against AI or in multiplayer modes, fostering competition and collaboration.
