What are some underrated RPGs with unique combat systems?

[San Goku]

I'm always on the lookout for RPGs that offer something different in their combat mechanics. I've played the big names like Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls, but I'm curious about hidden gems or lesser-known titles that feature unique or innovative combat systems. What underrated RPGs would you recommend that really stand out in this department?

You should definitely check out "The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel" series if you haven't already. The combat system has this cool blend of turn-based strategy with a tactical twist thanks to the use of zones and characters' unique abilities. It really makes you think about positioning and timing during battles. Another underrated gem is "UnderTale," where the combat is more about dodge mechanics and interacting with enemies than just straight-up attacking. Plus, the story and characters are just top-tier. What kind of combat systems do you usually prefer? Turn-based, real-time, or something else entirely?
