Take Wartales, Darkest Dungeon, and Heroes of M&M 3 and combine them and you get Iron Oath. I enjoyed it. I just finished the campaign after around 40 hours (I'm sure I spent like 10 afk). Build your favorite merc team and have at it.

If you like turn based combat games, party based, you might like this. It is not great, but a 7 out of 10. Enemies, fights, missions, dungeons are a bit repatative. The pixel art looks dated and the game usually is in drab, shady colors. Spells and effects are not very spectaculair to watch. The gear is mostly a passive bonus to stats. But the good things are that it is challenging. Classes (8) do differ. There is a lot of levelling up, and especially the tech trees for abilities and spells is very nice and effective. The beginning is a bit punishing, but deeper into the game things became much easier. But still challenging. It takes elements of Darkest Dungeon, like time pressure, negative events and dungeon happenings, but you can save the game to avoid this if you like (there is an ironman mode). It took me about 35 hours to finish, including like 30 optional sidequests. Not a game I will remember for long, but okay. There are much more exciting turn based RPG's out there, but when you did those and are looking for more of the genre, this might interest you.

IMHO better than Battle Brothers, but don't expect any further updates, the roadmap is a lie and devs seem to have hit the eject button. Pretty good as it is tho.

Iron oath is a squad based tactical RPG. You build a company of mercenaries out of classes found throughout the world and level up their abilities and find gear. This is all pretty standard. Classes have a decent array of skills and you can choose which to use for each class before heading into a dungeon. There is a collection of aoe, single target and support/healing abilities to make sure every class can have a purpose in every possible class combination. Class skill leveling is relatively basic. There are 12 "talents" of which you can pick 6 to upgrade the ability. You can talent points when you level and all abilities share the talent points. Gear is also relatively simplistic with light, medium and heavy armor and classes having only 1-2 possible weapon types they can use. Battle Brothers and Wartales are similar mercenary company games, but Iron Oath plays more like Darkest Dungeon than those other two. While there is a world map and battles are fought on a hex grid, you proceed through dungeons with events that can happen on each possible tile. Sometimes you get a battle, other times you get a shrine that can give you a blessing. The skill system is also close to darkest dungeon in the way you choose what skills the class uses I do have a couple of issues with the game, but they are relatively minor. Time moves pretty fast. There are 120 days in a year, and it will routinely take you 15-30 days to get to a job site and another 15-30 back. If you collect a couple of jobs to do at once, you can easily pass a year and a half before you return to who gave you the job. Money also is a pretty minor aspect of the game. It does not take long before you have enough money to not have to deal with mercenary wages being an issue at all. I believe part of this is due to how fast time can move. Overall it is a good game if you like these types of mercenary company experiences. It is a different change of pace from Battle Brothers asthis has magic and legs.

This is a pretty fun game and the art direction is phenomenal, but for some reason, it couldn't hold my attention. I enjoyed the dungeon crawling, which can go sideways at any moment, leaving you in an enjoyably stressful situation. The combat itself SHOULD be awesome. There are varied classes, a bunch of skills, enemy weaknesses, and environmental hazards. Even so, there was something missing. Anyway, it's a fun game and even though it didn't hook me, maybe it'll hook you!
