Best free "top-down" games

Play games defined by keyword "top-down" sorted by user rating.

VISUAL - In gaming, top-down refers to a perspective where the player views the game world from directly above, looking straight down on characters and environments. This bird’s-eye view gives a clear overview of the surroundings, making it easier to navigate, plan strategies, and manage multiple elements at once. It’s commonly used in strategy games, RPGs, and shooters, where understanding the layout and positioning of units, obstacles, or enemies is crucial. The perspective emphasizes tactical awareness and control rather than immersion in a character’s personal viewpoint.
