Inspired by the pen-and-paper games of the 1980s, such as Dungeons & Dragons, many games in the turn-based roleplaying genre made huge splashes in the 90s and early 2000s. However, the turn-based format was declared too slow, outdated, and irrelevant in the modern gaming scene by the gaming zeitgeist of the 2010s. However, the desire for complex, tactical battles ran deep, and as the 2010s came to a close, the genre saw its glorious return.
