Arco
Arco’s got a lot of cool things going for it. First, it’s a Mesoamerican fantasy RPG, which is a combination of words I’m not used to seeing put together like that, and which brings me immense joy as a Latino. Second, its combat, which blurs the lines between real-time combat and tactics gameplay, absolutely rules.
Arco allows you to plot a course of action and then carry it out at the same time as your enemies. In the middle of this action though, you can effectively pause and micro-adjust your course, which can include running in another direction, assuming a different tactical position, or launching an attack. Enemies telegraph their next move while paused, giving you an idea of how to respond after resuming time, and it leads to remarkably tense little skirmishes between bouts of exploration and traditional dungeon crawling. Arco is currently discounted to $15 and it is well worth it.
