Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Easy Red 2.

WWII fps/tps made by a small team. Did you like BF1942 maps and bots back in the day?

This is the first ‘bot game’ which is actually very good and wwii focused. Others like ravenfield were too spread out, scope wise, or too twee like Brass Brigade.

It’s just had Normandy come out and first person animations tweaked and it’s in a really good place.

Custom maps and soon to have custom assets on the workshop so workshop maps are about to blow up big style!

Would love to see more wwii game fans try it out, even off sale it’s FILTHY cheap. Can highly advise the recent Normandy DLC too, the quality of the maps are leaps and bounds over the base campaigns, Stalingrad is also very good too if you're an eastern front kinda boi.

Nice man, I failed to mention also; you can host your game online so playing with friends, or having the game open is a thing. It's quite fun when someone joins the enemy team, they provide that little bit of spice to an otherwise, potentially easy mission. Doubly so if they comandeer a tank or something - uh oh!
