Turn-Based Strategy Templates
Create turn-based strategy games with Summer Engine. Get inspired by templates below, or start from scratch with AI.
Turn-based strategy is the genre that gives you all the time in the world to make the wrong move. You command units across a map, each turn weighing position, range, and what the opponent might do, and the tension comes from committing to a plan one phase at a time. The depth lives in the read: do you press the advantage now or hold for a stronger position next turn.
A template gives you that thinking space already structured: a tile or grid map, units with movement and attack ranges, an enemy that takes its own turn, a turn-order system, and a win condition. With Summer Engine, the AI game engine compatible with Godot 4, you shape the rules by describing them: ask for a unit that counters spears, terrain that grants a defense bonus, fog of war, or an AI that plays the objective, and the AI edits the unit data and turn logic with you while you play matches to balance it.
