It’s such an overcrowded genre isn’t it? I mean it’s ridiculous how many top down games there are out there… I’ve played so many now, they just blend into each other.
Are there any top down games that do something different (or the same but really really well). For example, my last really positive experiences with this format were Desperados 3 and Shadow Gambit The Cursed Crew.
RTS like AoE or Warcraft
Bullet Hells like Assault Android Cactus
Hotline Miami
every 4X game
V Rising, Diablo or Baldurs Gate
