20 Best Turn-Based Strategy Games To Play In 2026 https://ift.tt/kJAqxQR The best turn-based strategy games do more than just replicate chess in video game form, and the genre has evolved over the last decade far beyond 2D maps with pixel knights and wizards duking it out for the honor of their lord. They build layers of tactics around unique systems, factor relationships into your troop choices, make the battlefield your biggest enemy, and push you to think 10 steps ahead--and sometimes do all of these at once. We've listed 16 of the best turn-based strategy games below, from reboots of classics like Advance Wars and Tactics Ogres, to surprise spin-offs, story-driven sagas, and more.

Chucky has haunted screens and instilled the fear of dolls in the minds of many for decades. Thanks to the long-running film franchise and recent TV series, the creepy doll has become one of the most recognizable horror characters of all time. Soon, fans of the amateur comedian and full-time murderous doll can add two collectible editions from the Chucky franchise to their display shelves. Chucky: The Complete Series Steelbook Edition is up for preorder for $60 (was $65) at Amazon. The Steelbook Edition Blu-ray releases alongside standard edition Blu-ray and DVD collections this Tuesday, September 23.
While you're picking up Chucky: The Complete Series, make sure to check out the Child's Play Limited Edition Steelbook. Exclusive to Amazon and slated to launch October 7, this collectible edition of the franchise's original 1988 film has already sold out multiple times since preorders opened, but it's back in stock as of September 21.
Chucky: The Complete Series includes all 24 episodes of Syfy's awesome TV series across six Blu-ray discs. Syfy canceled the show last fall, a few months after airing the third season. If you're a fan of the movies and haven't watched the show, we'd highly recommend it. The series is a sequel to the 2017 film Cult of Chucky. And while it leans more into the comedy, Chucky still commits plenty of gruesome murders. Plus, the show retains Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.
The artwork on the steelbook's front cover looks cool, though it's not a brand-new design. The image of Chucky sitting against a school locker was first used to promote Season 1, but with "Wanna Play" written in blood instead of "The Complete Series." The back of the case features polaroid pictures with characters and references. When you open the steelbook, you're peering inside Chucky's locker. Along with more pictures, there's a bloody knife, because the Biology and Literature textbooks wronged him, apparently.
Like many TV series with physical editions, Chucky has only ever been available on 1080p Blu-ray. The discs support Dolby Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The list of bonus features is a light, but you'll still find deleted scenes on all six discs along with a featurette called The Legacy of Chucky. In total, the series runs close to 19 hours.
As mentioned, Chucky: The Complete Series also has a standard Blu-ray edition for $50 (was $55) and a DVD box set for $40 (was $45). It's also worth noting that all three seasons are available on Blu-ray. You'd spend roughly $55 total if you purchased each season individually instead.
Relive the film that started it all with the Child's Play Limited Edition Steelbook. It includes both 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray copies of the movie, with the 4K scan created from the original camera negative. Both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision are supported, as is DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. You'll get a chilling steelbook featuring a close-up shot of Chucky, while a third disc (standard Blu-ray) is loaded with bonus features. Here's what's included:
Behind-the-scenes special effects footage
Howard Berger: Your Special Effects Friend 'Til The End - Interview with special makeup effects artist
Life Behind the Mask: Being Chucky - Interview with Ed Gale
Evil Comes in Small Packages - Interviews with Don Mancini, David Kirschner, Kevin Yagher, and more

All of the on-disc content matches the original 4K Collector's Edition that released in 2022. You can get that version, sans steelbook, for $29 (was $40).
All seven films in the original Chucky series as well as the 2019 reboot are available on 4K Blu-ray. The second and third films released in 2022 alongside the original, while the remaining four--all of which abandoned the Child's Play moniker for Chucky--launched in 2023. If you want a complete "matching" set, the editions below come with cardboard sleeves and have the same style of cover art.
