===Tactical role-playing games===
{{Main|Tactical role-playing video games}}

This sub-genre is principally used to refer to [[role-playing game|RPG]]-derived games as an alternative to the traditional turn-based system. In such titles, the system has been tailored to incorporate role-playing game characteristics. The term "tactical" was not widely used to describe such titles until ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' was released, where it popularized the genre in North America, although games such as ''[[Shining Force]]'' were part of the genre years beforehand.
