This Fire Emblem-inspired open-world tactical RPG fulfills a dream I never knew I had: directing my own "sandbox shonen" cinematic anime mech battles

Nitro Gen Omega.

If you tell me you've got a Fire Emblem-inspired tactical RPG with open-world exploration, chances are that I'm already going to be interested. But Nitro Gen Omega is all that and also a shonen anime simulator that lets you direct your own mech battles. Folks, I cannot add this game to my wishlist fast enough.

Set in a "spaghetti anime" world, Nitro Gen Omega is a turn-based tactical RPG with cinematic mech battles. You give your units orders on a screen that resembles a timeline-based video editor, and as the battles resolve, you'll see them play out as anime cutscenes. How engaging this all is in practice remains to be seen, but the examples in the trailer below look absolutely gorgeous.
