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 :(

CrossCode is one of my absolute favorite games, yet I hardly see it talked about in larger circles. It's an action RPG with some zelda-like dungeons and a very fluid and satisfying combat system. Highly recommend it!

I'll never forget about that game because I remember the dev showing it off as an initial concept back in mid 2013 on the ImpactJS forum, an engine I bought in to do my final project for CompSci major. When I saw it being released as a full game some years later, I was amazed. I wonder if it's still running on Impact

I'm pretty it's still in ImpactJS, as I recall the HTML5 logo showing up when booting the game. It surprised me first time I played as I didn't expect a game to be built off a web engine, but they sure did deliver haha
