Blue Byte developed early turn-based tactical games,[2] which were often inspired by traditional tactical wargames played on tabletops.[3] Because of their low system requirements, turn-based tactical games were popular on early personal computers. This peaked with the released of X-COM: UFO Defense in 1994.[2] When X-COM's sequels failed to make the same impression, publishers grew cautious of funding similar games on personal computers.[4]
As the 1990s continued,
real time strategy games. Though new tactics games continued to be released on personal computers, tactical combat became more of a component in tactical role-playing games,[2] and tactical games grew more popular on handheld consoles. These complex but accessible games widened the appeal of turn-based tactics.[1] The 2012 release of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a remake of the 1994 video game, reinvigorated the genre on personal computers and led to many new games using streamlined, modern rules.[2][4]
