Turn Based Lovers is an independent gaming publication dedicated to turn-based RPGs, strategy games, tactical games, roguelikes, JRPGs, and everything built around turn-based mechanics.
Founded in 2018, TBL was created with a simple goal: to give turn-based games a dedicated home. Alongside major releases, we pay particular attention to independent and lesser-known projects that can easily disappear among the thousands of games released every year.
Today, Turn Based Lovers publishes news, reviews, previews, game overviews, release calendars, weekly roundups, lists, gameplay coverage, and original features covering everything turn-based.

Our Approach
One of the principles behind Turn Based Lovers has always been that the size of the studio shouldn’t determine whether a game deserves attention. If a project has interesting turn-based mechanics, a distinctive art style, or something that sparks our curiosity, we’re interested in learning more.
Editorial Standards
Sources
News should be based on official announcements, developer/publisher communications, storefronts, interviews, or other attributable sources.
Reviews
Reviews are based on direct gameplay experience.
Previews / Hands-On
Clearly identify whether impressions come from demos, preview builds, events or full versions.
Corrections
Factual errors are corrected when discovered.
Commercial relationships
Advertising, review keys, sponsored content and affiliate relationships do not determine editorial conclusions.
