Second Runner-up: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story
Staff Writer Jake Su: Despite its branding as more of a role-playing game, there is much to love when it comes to the turn-based combat for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story when it comes to flexing your strategic mind. With a wealth of information provided and a flexible lane system that grants various effects, it is up to the player to tweak their approach to take advantage of the enemy’s setup and environmental effects.
How the team of heroes is being set up is also key, with plenty of freedom to spec your party according to your preference and playstyle. Add runes and equipment enchanting into the mix, and you can spend hours on end min-maxing like the strategist you are. Any doubts about translating the popular multiplayer online battle arena world of League of Legends to the turn-based role-playing genre should no longer be a problem.
