5. C-Wars (3DS/Wii U)

Current Release Date: Q1 2014
Fire Emblem fans seeking their next outing in the strategy genre should not hesitate to look at Onipunks’ C-Wars. This beautiful rouge-like is a crossover between Action RPGs and RTS games, and has some of the best pixel animation I have ever seen in a video game. Some attacks of in-game characters even resemble the critical hit animations of GBA Fire Emblem titles, but if they were on steroids. Seriously, take a look at this! This beautiful animation, coupled with an innovative combat system, makes C-Wars highly desirable in my eyes. The non-linear storyline set in a post-apocalyptic world is only the icing on the cake, making this one game that will be hard for me to ignore.
Two Brothers: the way I’m seeing it, kinda carries a Nintendo Game-Boy look while adding some color, clearly taking a page out of Frank Miller’s playbook
