Play X Zone (Japan, USA) Online
Move units on a grid, then suddenly you're slapping down cards mid-battle—timing those combos right feels so good once it clicks. That '90s soundtrack somehow worms its way into your head too.
X Zone on the SNES is one of those games that sneaks up on you—it looks like a straightforward strategy RPG at first, but then you realize there’s this whole card battle system layered on top. You’re still moving units around a grid, sure, but when combat starts, it’s all about quick decisions with your deck. The first time I played, I totally botched a fight because I didn’t realize how much timing mattered.
The art’s got that bright, slightly offbeat ‘90s vibe, and the music? Weirdly catchy. It’s not as polished as some of the big-name tactical games, but there’s something about the way it mixes slow planning with frantic card plays that just clicks. Took me a few tries to get the hang of chaining attacks, but once it made sense, I couldn’t put it down.
If you’re into strategy games with personality, this one’s worth digging up.
