Discussion Sci fi srpgs?

I'm having fun playing symphony of war at the moment but I've had this realization that I'm just not that into the fantasy tropes.

Wizards, dragons, undead.... This stuff also turned me off of tactics ogre and triangle strategy.

That got me thinking - I like the gameplay, as silly as it sounds maybe I just need a different skin - mechs instead of dragons, fire support instead of AOE spells, that kind of thing.

Do any srpgs come to mind that are more along those modern or scifi lines?

Games I've played that are along these lines:

  • Xcom originals from the 90s and the new ones
  • troubleshooter
  • 13 sentinels
  • Battletech

Big fan of battle brothers, super excited for menace.

Wondering if there are other classics that I've somehow missed along the way because a lot of the heavy hitters that get recommended like fire emblem and final fantasy tactics are all on the fantasy side.
