Games like Nights of Fire: Battle for Budapest

Looking for games like Nights of Fire: Battle for Budapest? It puts everyone on the same side, sweating one shared problem that fights back — built on pulling together against a game that fights back and the squeeze of wringing the most out of a limited hand.
