Toby Fox's follow-up to Undertale mixes menu-based party battles with bullet-hell dodging, and enemies can be spared instead of fought. A charming, funny cast, a standout soundtrack and an unsettling meta-mystery sit beneath its colorful surface.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

Distinctive, stylised art style

A funny papercraft adventure where battles are solved as rotating ring puzzles before Mario and Olivia explore a foldable world. Charming writing, inventive locations and a lovingly crafted look set it apart.

Cryptmaster

Turn-based combat

A quirky dungeon crawler where you type or speak words to trigger abilities, solve riddles and play odd mini-games. Its undead narrator and wordplay-driven humor make it stand out.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Turn-based combat

Anachronox

Turn-based combat

A comedic sci-fi RPG following washed-up private eye Sly Boots and his ragtag crew on a decaying alien world. It blends JRPG-style turn-based combat with quirky dialogue and a cinematic, story-driven adventure.

Costume Quest

Turn-based combat

A charming Double Fine Halloween RPG where kids trick-or-treat through the neighborhood and their homemade costumes transform into giant heroes for turn-based battles with timed button presses. Funny, short and very approachable.

Squids Odyssey

Turn-based combat

A tactical game with a pinball and billiards feel: you fling your squid heroes across the battlefield like slingshots to smash corrupted crabs and shrimp. Colorful cartoon visuals, humor, and a team with distinct abilities keep the battles fresh.
