Best Turn-Based Mac Games to Play in 2023

 It can be easy to despair when you see that your favorite games or new and exciting games are unavailable for your Mac. But don't worry, there are plenty of Mac-compatible gems that will blow your mind.

We'll show you some of the best turn-based games for those of you who love RPGs and strategies and could take a break from fast-paced reaction-based games that can sprain your wrists.


1. XCOM 2

The much-loved XCOM franchise has spawned an excellent sequel in the form of XCOM 2, which, luckily for us, can also run on Mac.


Among the most immersive features of XCOM 2 are the RPG elements, where you lead your entire team of fighters from a group of recruits to an elite battalion capable of saving humanity from cunning and terrifying alien invaders. Your HQ will also evolve from a basic base to a state-of-the-art facility that boasts the latest technology providing many upgrades to choose from. That is, if you make it that far.


XCOM 2 is a very challenging game. You will have to learn to master its unique board and pieces or you will suffer losses. You name your team, maybe after people you know, and wail in horror when Karen and Pablo die somewhere along your desperate journey.


Don't be shy about looking for a guide before you start. We all want Karen and Pablo to make it.


If base building is exactly the kind of progression you love, there are plenty of base and kingdom building games out there that you're sure to enjoy.


2. Griftlands

Griftlands is a game that, if you're lucky, won't fly under your radar. You will encounter incredibly immersive stories, satisfying combat and sophisticated sound design. The world building and writing are top notch, supported wonderfully by the visual aesthetic.


Griftland's game mechanics are built around building decks and defeating your opponents through negotiation or turn-based combat. Just when one set of cards feels repetitive, Griftlands offers you a whole other set and character in each of the three campaigns.


All these elements come together to provide a unique gaming experience that fans of turn-based and deck-building games will love.


3. Darkest Dungeon

For those of you who like a challenge in your turn-based escapades, Darkest Dungeon is for you. Be warned though, only the most daring of challenge seekers should venture into the higher difficulties. Don't be shy at all when you start with the lowest difficulty.


Darkest Dungeon pits your chosen group of four heroes against monstrous creatures. There are different classes to choose from, and if you don't choose wisely, many of your characters will die tragic deaths. Not only that, but their very sanity is at stake – many of your heroes will develop fears and idiosyncrasies from the trauma of venturing deep.

The music in Darkest Dungeon blends perfectly with the suspense and horror of exploring each room in the dungeon. For longer dungeon crawls, you can adjust the sound settings or add custom breaks with soothing music. Maybe it will keep you sane enough to make it into the deepest, darkest dungeons.


4. For the king

If you've ever thought Dungeons & Dragons should be brought to life in video game format, For The King is a game you'll want to check out. It features a deceptively homey visual style that masks a very challenging game.


You will embark on your journey to victory with a party of three in either solo or online co-op mode. You have a choice of campaigns to choose from and the higher difficulties are only for the wisest of strategists.


For the King warns you before its opening offer that you will fail often on your way to success. Since its core mechanics are RNG (Random Number Generator) based, randomness can be your greatest ally and worst enemy. The learning curve can be steep, but once you get familiar with the mechanics, form strategies, and learn to prepare for combat, For the King is one hell of a game.


For the King has a rich world with many biomes, quests, dungeons and unlockables that will inspire you to face its cruel worlds again and again.
