We don’t cover many RPGs here on Strategy Gamer, mainly because the level of ‘strategy’ involved in them can vary wildly, although ultimately, it’s rarely the core purpose of the game.

Sorry but that is wrong. SR:Dragonfall is the second SR game by Harebrained Schemes Studio (SR:Returns being the first). SR: Honkong is the third game by them. The "aka" is wrong here.Shadowrun: Hong Kong [aka Dragonfall]
Yes Kendal did point out I'd gotten that bit wrong, I was mean't to edit that out - thanks for reminding me!Sorry but that is wrong.

Also (by being the resident TRPG nut) my definition may be too rigid but to include Mount and Blade and Kenshi on this list is more than questionable imo.
Calling Open World/Sandbox games SRPGs or TRPGs is like calling Super Mario World a cooking sim because it has Mushrooms and Plants in it...
This 2 games may be good games, but I believe they are in the wrong category here. Definitions may blur but there are clearly more suitable games (and terrific ones at that) fitting right into that category.
We feature BT in our 'Best TBS Games' list. You're right there's certainly an RPG element to it but I think it's less prevalent than what's on this list. I generally avoid duplicating games across lists where possible, so no need to have it on both.Interesting picks. I have been playing a decent amount of BatteTech (also from HBS), which makes me wonder where it falls in the spectrum, there are RPG elements, and it's certainly tactical, not sure if it would fit in as either though, food for thought.
