Grotesque Tactics is a tongue-in-cheek parody of tactical RPGs and is packed full of humor. The gameplay is also very solid, with a lot of features and some great turn based combat.

Being a game like FF Tactics it naturally has grid-based combat. There are many character classes to choose and a lot of battles with numerous monsters.     Probably the most unique aspect of gameplay is the “obsession meter” which effectively lowers your team’s XP when they take damage.   While not as god as Final Fantasy tactics, it’s a highly enjoyable experience nonetheless.
