SRPG is turn based. It may lack sound and movement effects but has good artwork.

Here is an example made in 1990s. Still, its images and music is still good today.

Story:
In a fantastic world of sword and magic, the superpower Jiana Empire, has been defeated by heroes twice because its emperors are possessed by demons successively. Then, the empire lost its strength and influence, which incites its Southern Dominion to plot independence and develop an invasive attitude to its neighbour clans. In order to contain the situation, Jiana sends a small team of agents to investigate Southern Dominion.

The game’s female zakos are mainly female troops of the Southern Dominion or related factions (bandits, clans, gangsters, mercenaries and even creatures) sponsored by Southern Dominion. They are very common and treated equally as their male counterparts. Because this is a strategy game, the female zakos do not have many ryona voices or sprites but their images are quite good. Meanwhile, according to dialogue in the game, most of them are actually killed in battle.

Warriors:
This type of female zako uses mainly axes. They are stronger than others but do not have sepcific skills.

Not bad, but it is weird that if this is a turn-based Heroes of Might and Magic style game...why are all of them weaponless? How do they attack? Even the archers have no bows...

I chuckled at the weird translations... "saintess"... I guess the japanese thought every word has a female version by just putting "ess" at the end. Do love her translucent dress revealing her butt, though.

This is more like a RPG game, unlike Heroes of Might and Magic, these female zakos are not recruitable.

All characters only show their weapons when attacking or spelling. LIke this:

I did this weired translations...because everything original is in traditional Chinese. Maybe you can make some suggestions about all these translations.

Ah, I see. I thought based on the "unit types" they are more of a turn based strategy.
So this is chinese? Odd I thought japanese based on the art style.
Nah, I cannot speak the language so cannot offer better translations. I assumed the game was translated officially and these were the originals. Anyway, you can just call her Saint and I think Killer here means Assassin.
Btw, if you could extract sprite sheets of them attacking/getting hit, would be great.

They do not have a getting hit spirte. When hit, they just stand, when dead, they just blink and vanish. Still, I uploaded the attacking screenshots of Master swordwoman.

An old Japanese SRPG game called メタ女

The game has a cute image and a dark story. In a fantasy world, the Prefectural Metatopology University Girls' High School is a girls' high school which founded over 1200 years, recruited millions of girls and has a large land with all facilities, even nuclear power stations, on it. The bloodshed started since the school is founded due to the conflict between clubs and societies, which act as nearly nations in the school. While a peace treaty is established and conducted by the student union, the threat of war still exists. The heroine belongs to the Astronomical Society. A New Astronomical Society emerges and starts the civil war, which later turns out to be a conspiracy of Biology Club and Craft Club. Their objective is to eradicate Astronomical Society, seize Astronomical Society's terrority without alerting the Student Union. Throughout the game, the heroine's team killed over 700 zako, not counting zako killed by friendly NPCs.

The zako in the game are female high school students of different factions. They can perform different kinds of attacks like fist, arrow, magic and even suicide explosion. When they are defeated, their portrait change into sadness and leave their last words.

Yes, they are all killed once defeated, and the last words of each of them are unique. That is why I introduce this game, you can see walkthrough videos below. All defeated zako in the game are dead.
