I thought I'd mention the game Vigilantes made by a new indie developer (pretty much one man's work mostly), by Timeslip Softworks.
It is turn-based, you play a main character Sam Contino, who basically decides to fight the increasing crime in Reiker City, work towards taking down the 3 gang factions, and working his way to the top, clear the city of this menace. You can meet and recruit more allies. You will be often managing a team of allies out there in turn-based combat.
Game feels like a turn-based Vigilante version of Freedom Force, but without the real-time and no super powers. There is a Perk system similar to that of Fallout or Underrail. Individual combat maps are on the smaller side, perhaps a city block or three. So far, I see only one height level, and this combat is simpler than Jagged Alliance 2, but great for quick few hours of play after work. Characters improve with level, enemies improve while their tile and gang make money and succeed. Time is against you. You can surveil tiles, getting progressively more info about each district or tile, and each gang's hierarchy. There are levels of enemies, etc. Fair amount of gear already, explosives, guns, melee weapons, crafting, components, loot, interrogations, etc.
The main strategic map is basically tile-based, and so on.
To get much greater detail there is an excellent constantly updating very-detailed guide on all the mechanics of the game by LordLancelot on Steam. It includes lots of text, in-game pics to illustrate, videos to playthrus and concepts, you name it. You can find that guide at this link:

Currently game is 1.02 version, but a 1.03 is planned soon. Game runs very well, probably can run on a toaster. Graphics are adequate for the task, but no more. Music and dialogs are very atmospheric to the Vigilantes theme. I enjoy it so far. Lowest price so far was 15% off, it is $14.99 when not on sale. I think it is a good start for this type of game.
