Code Name: STEAM (3DS) was a game that got pretty meh reviews and I think people forgot about it before it was even released, but it was actually a lot of fun. It wasn't perfect, but the gameplay was simple and satisfying and the story was ridiculous enough to keep me interested. Also, I got it for, like, $5 so that probably helped.

I am perpetually angry that this game wasn't more successful. This is why we don't get new IPs.

Mostly there are a bunch of games that get a bum rap because they deviate from their franchise. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Super Paper Mario, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Chrono Cross.  Like those a lot more than their fanbases tended to.

I can't speak for the overall sales but for me, I was excited about the game. I played it. Hated it. It felt like an inferior Valkyria Chronicles. I thought  about picking it up again a couple of years ago when it was cheap but then VC4 came out and turned out to be the best VC game. So yet to try it again. Still might.
