Hey guys my name is Andrew and I honestly have no idea what I need to do to create the game I want to make. I already have my concept all written up I just need to find a game engine that will suit the game.

I wish to make a turn-based tactical shooter similar to that of games like "XCOM enemy unknown" and "Shadowrun returns", with a tactical map where players control troop movement and resource management, a RPG where your troops level up and get stronger through combat and a loot system where you find new gear or take it from enemies you kill.

I want the game to have 3D graphics simply to make the combat more dynamic and so give a better view point from the tactical map. The level of graphics don't need to be overly high until I have a better idea of what I am doing though.

Does anyone know of a game engine that would allow me to create this game or will I have to create a game engine from scratch?

recap - turn-based squad controlled shooter
- tactical map for recourse management and troop movement

- RPG element for character upgrades and customization and looting

-3D graphics

For what you're describing, I would say, Unity, Unity, Unity, Unity. You could accomplish everything you described with Unity.

Thanks for the advice guys, I am checking it out right now.
