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?

it sounds like you want an internal voxel grid and for all the art and animations to respect that grid. I don’t have any recs but I’m posting in solidarity because I feel the same way about pixel art games

Much appreciated nonetheless. And yes, that’s precisely what I’m looking for.

8-bit Armies/Hordes by Petroglyph? Westwood style RTS games (Dune II, Command & Conquer) by folks who worked on those games.

Edit: never mind, these games are animated IIRC. Just keeping this reaction up in case someone else is interested in these kind of games.
