I love the old-school turn-based RPG's (Dragon Warrior/Paladins Quest/FF/Etc...) however, it seems there aren't that many of them out there on Steam. I have played the main ones people talk about: Cthulhu/Breath of Death/Precipice of Darkness 3 (all great games) but wondering if anyone could suggest other good RPGs.

Or...if there aren't any more...please someone buy RPG Maker VX and start cranking out some old-school classics! :-)

You may be interested in King's Bounty series. It's not exactly a turn based RPG, it's an RPG&strategy hybrid with turn based battles.

Yes! I did play KB: The Legend and it was a ton of fun. Great series...I'm hoping to play Armored Princess sometime

This would be more if you're interested in the Heroes of Might and Magic battle gameplay. The King's Bounty games are fun.

I had never heard of this before you just mentioned it. I checked it out online and it does appear to be turn-based...I may have to pick these up during Winter Sale! Thx again!

Maybe The Last Remnant? Have not played it yet but I'm pretty sure it is a turn-based RPG.

Vandal Hearts? It's not on steam but is definitely worth looking into.

Loved that game. Satisfying battles. The blood-fountain kills were surprisingly satisfying.

Look at the genesis collections. There are a lot of old school Turn-Based RPGs:

  • Phantasy Star 2, 3 & 4
  • Fatal Labyrinth -A Turn-Based Rogue RPG, but its a lot of fun.
  • Shining Force 1 & 2 - A Turn-based Strategy RPG, Though its not super complicated Strategy, and the rest of the game is turn-based RPG standards.

on the rain slick: precipice of darkness 1 and 2, they are kind of half turn based half real time, kind of like how the final fantasy 13 combat system was
