Are there any fairly light fantasy RPGs that have semi-engaging

Strike! uses a massively streamlined system based on 4e for fights.

Could be what you are looking for.

Hyperborean Mice, basically Conan mixed with Secret of NIMH. Combat is simple but getting a critical success over your opponent's defense roll allows you to perform combat maneuvers depending on the weapon you're utilizing. Even before that, you still have several maneuvers you can access.
I'm genuinely surprised not many games have utilized anything similar. The only similar thing I can think of is Dungeon Crawl Classics' Mighty Deed system for warriors.

Well, I want something that's more oriented around playing figures in a fantasy setting rather than strictly the team oriented set-piece battles (for instance the party members might not be around for a fight and the game wont break down as a result) Strike as I recall is very much like 4e in that it breaks down completely if you aren't using it with combat as an end in and of itself. I just want something a bit more interesting than the typical OSR style, might as well be Shining Force, fights when the fight does break out.

That's one of them weird narrativist systems aint it?

Feng Shui is very '90s RPG design, I wouldn't call it narrativist or anything like that. But it owns at doing Hong Kong movie style action, whether it's John Woo blood opera or low-budget martial arts horror.

When you got the party separated, you still have the option of running it as a tactical fight (with the PC missing joining in later if he can or not), if there's a chance of a good fight in there, or just keep using skills, if there's no chance of a good fight.

I honestly don't understand half the things people say about 4e

We've reached the point where 4e is considered so bad by /tg/ that criticism towards it doesn't even need to be true to be accepted. Kind of sad, since it really isn't nearly as awful as most people claim.

Mythras has fun combat, but the options can be slightly overwhelming

I bet you're the posters who defended 4e's Skill Challenges and the 'bingo plus rollplay' examples for them in the rulebook.

Scarlet Heroes makes OSR combat a little more fun.

How?

>>54122119
It offers nothing special and the combat falls apart without a complete team; you have to structure the game to ensure challenges are appropriately designed and that everyone is there for it at all times.

Is it really all that controversial to say a game doesn't do well outside of what it was designed for?
