Must-Play Strategy Games

1. Fire Emblem: Radiant DawnFire Emblem: Radiant Dawnhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Fire_Emblem_Radiant_DawnOpens wiki page

Hands down best strategy game ever. Improves upon everything that was great in FE 9 and does a great job of continuing the story.

2. Fire Emblem: Path of RadianceFire Emblem: Path of Radiancehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Fire_Emblem_Path_of_RadianceOpens wiki page

The bonus experience system along was a breakthrough for the series. Great story, top notch difficulty, and the best support system in the series.

3. Fire Emblem: The Sacred StonesFire Emblem: The Sacred Stoneshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Fire_Emblem_The_Sacred_StonesOpens wiki page

Best portable FE of all time. The branching class system should become a standard in future FE games.

4. Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the LionsFinal Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lionshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Final_Fantasy_Tactics_The_War_of_the_LionsOpens wiki page

Incredibly deep class system and top-notch story (especially now that the translation is intelligible).

5. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole RisingAdvance Wars 2: Black Hole Risinghttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Advance_Wars_2_Black_Hole_RisingOpens wiki page

Brilliant additions over the first game and is the best balanced game for multiplayer in the series. Also, notable for being one of the best Hard modes that Intelligent Systems has ever done.
