The resemblance to Endless Sky is about as close as this list gets: they line up on genre, combat and game mode. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and an isometric view. The distance is in setting — its own ground is historical setting.

It predates Endless Sky by 11 years, with what that implies technically.
