Planning a multi-turn offensive in a 4X game like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/sid_meiers_civilization_vi\">Civilization<\/a> or outfitting your party with optimal gear in a Strategy RPG like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/fire_emblem_three_houses\">Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a> can take much trial-and-error and many of us can only grab small windows of gaming time.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the portability of Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED \u2014 plus their sleep function \u2014 makes them ideal machines to help squeeze these brilliant games into hectic lifestyles, and Switch has a great selection of strategy and tactics games available at retail and on the eShop. Below, we&#8217;ve collected together a selection of our very favourites covering all types of strategy and tactics games.
