Play TabosTactics Online
You control a little warrior on a grid, dodging arrows between turns and setting up sneaky backstabs—that moment when you bait enemies into traps feels like pure NES magic. Chunky sprites and heroic battle music seal the deal.
TabosTactics is one of those NES games you stumble on and wonder how you never heard of it before. At first glance, it looks like a simple grid-based strategy thing—but then you realize your little warrior can actually move freely between turns, dodging arrows or sneaking up for a backstab. It’s weirdly satisfying when you pull off a perfect ambush, like you outsmarted the game itself.
The sprites are chunky and colorful in that classic NES way, and the music’s got this upbeat, almost heroic vibe that kicks in right as you start a battle. I remember getting wrecked by the third stage until I figured out you could lure enemies into traps—felt like a genius afterward. Definitely not as polished as the big-name RPGs, but there’s a scrappy charm to it. If you’ve got a soft spot for games that make you think on your feet (and don’t mind some retro jank), this one’s a blast.
