A number of early role-playing video games used a highly tactical form of combat, most notably the 1983 released games Ultima III: Exodus and Bokosuka Wars, both of which introduced party-based, tiled combat in America and Japan, respectively. Tactical RPGs are descendents of traditional strategy games, such as chess, and table-top role-playing and war games, such as Chainmail, which were mainly tactical in their original form. The format of a tactical RPG video game is also like a traditional RPG in its appearance, pacing and rule structure. Likewise, early table-top strategy wargames like Chainmail are descended from skirmish wargames, which were primarily concerned with combat.
