Oddworld: Hand of Odd

Strategy
Oddworld's tactical spin-off traded Abe's platforming for a turn-based, squad-level battlefield. Players controlled a ragtag group of Mudokons, each with unique abilities, navigating grid-based environments to outsmart the Glukkons. The game's resource management, from ammunition to Mudokon health, was as crucial as positioning, forcing players to think strategically in every encounter. Hand of Odd's blend of puzzle-solving and combat, set in a darkly humorous universe, provided a fresh take on the series' established formula.
