Examples of pseudo-tactical top down squad-based shooters

[Ninja Destroyer]

Total Mayhem, which sometimes looked like Crusader rip-off.



Enemy Infestation (didn't played it yet, but reviews were good from what I can remember)



Shadow Company (needed better rig for this, great memories)



Mech Commander (realtime-only and squad based, but with some strategy elements)

 

[Carrion]

As far as newer games go, you might want to check out DoorKickers:



No idea if it's any good. Apparently only the Alpha version is out.

 

[Infinitron]

Carrion That one's also more of a straight tactical game I think.

I think a distinguishing feature of the subgenre of games I described in OP is that most of the time you control the entire squad at once, moving them around as one and separating them only for special maneuvers.

Dawn of War 2

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Gender Wars, a syndicate clone form the mid 90's. I wonder, if a game with a story about a war between sexes could come out today without causing a massive shitstorm.

I remember that lift.
