This format tends to place great emphasis on battle scenarios. Combat is usually depicted by hexagonal or grid combat fields and makes up at least 90% of the gameplay time. Generally speaking, strategy RPGs focus less on character and storyline development, although they usually include the experience system.
Famous Strategy RPGs:
Shining Force, Dark Wizard, Baldurs Gate

Cairn Hill is my little attempt to break away from the common RPG mould. It is set in Wales in the 1920s against a backdrop of traditional (i.e., non-AD&D, non-Tolkien-esque) folklore.
