Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?
Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?
Lately I've been thinking about Voxatron, an incomplete yet fun little top-down-ish shooter game from 2011. I love the way it looks and plays, so I've been wondering if there are any other games with the same aesthetic?
It's a bit hard to explain, but what I liked specifically about Voxatron was how the characters and the environment were animated. Everything seemed to snap to an invisible three-dimensional grid, or in other words, voxels didn't rotate. Here's an example.
What I'm not looking for is a game that is made of voxels, but is animated like polygons, if that makes sense. Like this. I'm not really sure what term to use, because searching for "voxel games" was not very fruitful for me. Search results encompassed everything from Minecraft to Severed Steel.
I imagine animating a game in such a way would be super time consuming, but I still have to ask: are there any games that fit this criteria?

Late to the party but maybe Teardown is up your alley? It's mostly a heist game where you plan your route through a fully destructible environment.
