Big fan translation news. Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow (DS) now has a complete English translation patch available. It's one of the best FEs and I highly recommend it.
2nd Super Robot Wars OG for PS3 got a score of 35/40 on Famitsu. Check out some translated details here. There will be more trailers before the 11/29 release. No details on whether there's a very hard difficulty mode available yet.
Check out Rui Castro's Facebook Tactics game group for some more tactics game news and info.
Some new iOS tactics games to check out:
Solarian Tactics. Looks very much like Hero Academy. I'm sure it has its differences, but it's hard to tell from the short trailer.
Battle Dungeon. It's a cross between a tactics game and a dungeon crawler. Looks interesting!
Cthulhu World Combat. Described as inspired by Advance Wars with some tweaks, and based on the mythology of H.P. Lovecraft. It currently has $24k out of its $300k kickstarter goal, so I doubt it's going to make its funding. Maybe they'll find an investor and make the game anyway?
Some new PC tactics games to check out:
Telepath Tactics. It has 6 player multiplayer, a single player campaign, and a nice map editor with modding support.
Just Tactics. Multiplayer focused tactics game with effect cards, reaction shots, and other neat features.
Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front is now in development. Slitherine Games has set up a forum where you can post your suggestions and feedback.
Finally, Slitherine Games is holding a holiday sale. Battle Academy, Field of Glory, and Panzer Corps can be had for $19.99 each. All good tactics games, although I'd recommend Battle Academy if I had to choose one.

Thx Matt for the plug.
Yes Valkyria Chronicles 3 in english, thats really cool.
Telepath Tactics with 6 players should be interesting.
Lots of good stuff coming out and in the works.
I usually don't mind the graphics in this genre. I'm hoping that theses new games have new or interesting game mechanics, game modes (tournaments, campaigns, score attack), score systems, good speed (cancel and/or random cut scenes) and challeging AIs.
LOL When will we see the perfect turn based tactical game? There all fun but not perfect. I guess we will just keep playing them till we find it ;)
Better play them twice just to be sure. :P
I've never been crazy about graphics when it comes to games. I do like a little bit of plot and story, but like you I'm mainly focused on the game mechanics and level design.
:)
"Better play them twice just to be sure"
Actually this is a very good point. When you feel like replaying a game, its a very good sign the game is good. You may feel you have more to learn or get better scores or even be the best in online tournaments, this all gives a game a good replay value.
We need more games like this.
Hey Matt, I'm finally getting my own tablet, a Samsung, and I'm wondering whether there are any quality tactics games you can download and play on a tablet. Any suggestions much appreciated! I mainly like console strategy games with decent challenge; not so crazy about overly complex PC strategy games. Fire Emblem is my favorite.
Sansung tablet: is it running Android, Windows RT or Windows 8?
Hey Rui Castro,
I don't have it in hand yet, but it looks like it runs Android. Here's the Amazon link for the product:

Thanks in advance for any help!
Yes its a android.
Heres some I have seen and read about for android. Turn based tactical games (tbs, tbt, trpg, srpg). Some, more to the end, I have not tested, not sure if there good or if there really turn based tactical. But I think this will help you out.
