I used to think I completely hated turn-based RPGs.
Dicey Dungeons was the one game that turned me around on the genre. I’m actively thinking on each turn, and even the enemy’s turn, without feeling like the game is wasting my time. If a battle is slow, it’s only slow because I’m taking the time to think, and that’s MY choice.
I still don’t think I’ll play most turn-based RPGs, but I definitely know they can be fun, now!
Freakin’ Terraria, man. Bought it for just six quid on release day and it’s gotten me almost 3,000 hours of enjoyment. And I’m one to flit from game to game, too - my library’s huge, but Terraria is just that one game I keep coming back to. Just one more playthrough. Let’s see what I can get up to this time… (Especially with the new Remix seed!)
