Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess

Distinctive, stylised art style

A blend of real-time action and tower-defense strategy rooted in Japanese myth. By day you prepare villagers and defenses, by night you fight demon hordes while protecting the priestess. Its striking art style inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics carries the experience.

Total War Battles: Shogun

Gameplay comes before story

A compact real-time strategy game set in medieval Japan that condenses Total War style battles with simple base building and unit management into quick sessions, designed originally for touchscreens.

Arknights

Lavish presentation

A tower-defense strategy game where you recruit and train operators with distinct roles, then deploy them with careful placement and timing in tricky missions. It pairs a bleak dystopian story with a striking art style.

Roots of Yggdrasil

Distinctive, stylised art style

A strategy-puzzle game set after Ragnarok, where a Viking tribe stuck in a time loop tries to rebuild its home around the shattered World Tree. I only know the game partly, so this rating relies mostly on the metadata.

Frozenheim

Pure single-player experience

A Norse city-builder where you guide a Viking clan through harsh winters, manage your settlement and resources, and fight tactical real-time battles to earn Odin's favor.

Atom Zombie Smasher

Distinctive, stylised art style

In the zombie apocalypse you command mercenary squads and support like artillery and helicopters, evacuating survivors in short, frantic real-time missions. The striking retro look and dry humor give the tricky tactics a distinct flavor.
