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 :(

Hammerfight, a 2D mouse-physics flying machine combat game, one of the most unique games ever made and it's nowadays free to play- its a lot of fun and does something extremely unique, I dont think there's a single other game out there like it.

This used to be my favorite game, and I still want more of it but boy did the story never make sense and the gameplay turned out a bit too easy to cheese. The art for it was so good for a 2d game though.

Yeah, the story was pretty wild but to me that was always the backlite to an incredible gameplay loop- which is found nowhere else.

It's just a shame they didn't make a sequel, it really needed more content.

Great fuckin game, I just wish it wasnt as buggy as it was. But yeah, there was nothing quite so satisfying as spinning a double blade sword and parrying blows or the incredible crunch of whipping around a flail and smashing an enemy to bits
