Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Role-playing games whose primary combat or decision loop is turn-based without enough evidence to justify a regional or tactical sub-genre.

Include when

Role-playing games whose primary combat or decision loop is turn-based without enough evidence to justify a regional or tactical sub-genre.

Leave out when
