This especially holds true when taking into account the sheer number of Tactical games that have followed the XCOM model, with Gears Tactics and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle serving as the most obvious examples. When it comes to turn-based RPGs, though, countless games still move to the beat of their own drum, as evidenced by the continued success of Lilith Games.
