For fans of turn-based military strategy, Ring of Red by Konami is the best of the best. The gameplay is similar to that of Fire Emblem where players move units on a grid in turns.

The game has plenty of personality that will make players fall in love with its humor and quirkiness. There are plenty of different attractions to choose from like funhouses, tea cups, giant coasters, and waterslides.
