I'm looking for modern, throwback indie games with 3D pre-rendered visuals, like those in Super Mario RPG/Donkey Kong Country/Golden Sun/etc

Any suggestions?

No, but that's actually a really clever idea for how to make your game stand out visually.

I might steal this idea.

I think Fear Effect: Sedna is pre-rendered.

I imagine the reason no one really does it is because, with modern technology, it's actually much more work than just making a regular 3D game.

Oh it is, but so is pixel art.

Star Renegades

This looks phenomenal, but it looks more like 2D sprites in a 3D space, like Octopath Traveler. Is it a good game?

As for Hades, the environments are mostly layered 2D so I wouldn't really count it, though the character, enemy, and a few environment sprites do use the 3D pre-rendered technique so it's borderline.

star renegades is a pretty solid game, the devs have been patching it regularly to add content and fix balance issues. It's a roguelite with a turn based rpg combat system, and it's fairly compelling. The game isn't extremely long but still pretty replayable

I thought Hylics did some form of this, but probably not.

I really didn't like star renegades. I only played around launch but at the time it felt more like several good ideas that didn't really work together

I wonder if the Mega Man Battle Network games had this. I can't tell if it's just the art style or if the sprites were rendered in 3D.

i think it's a good game, though balrog's not entirely wrong when he says some of the ideas don't all mesh together as well as they could. I don't think it's very expensive, but it'll probably go on sale for real cheap in the near future.

Alright, I'm gonna buy it. It's visually interesting enough that I'll get some enjoyment out of it either way.

If you liked the battle network games take a look at one step from eden.

Octopath Traveler on the switch

editmis-read as 2D. Still a good game though. Also bravely default.
