Many Western PC games have utilized this genre for years, as well. Western games tend to have stronger military themes, without many of the fantasy elements often found in their console (and mainly Japanese) counterparts; as well as greater freedom of movement when interacting with the surrounding environment. Notable examples include the "Jagged Alliance" series (1994-2018) and the "Silent Storm" series (2003-2005), with many titles owing considerably to the "X-COM" series (1994-2016) of strategy games. In fact, Western PC games in the genre were largely defined by "X-COM" in much the same way as Eastern console games were by "Fire Emblem".
