I'm messing around with old school Doom modding and editing, and need some inspiration in relation to pixel art.

Can anyone recommend any unique games with pixel style graphics? Or any pixel art in general that is unique.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I am playing it right now. I expected everything but what the game actually is.
It's also what makes the game so great tho. I love watching the clusterfuck after beating a level where a dozen little pixel soldies shoot the boss. :D

Unique pixel art? Hmm. The graphic style of Relic Hunters is pleasing, and a little different from most pixel art. I'll try to remember some other stuff.
Edit: You may also wish to look at:
Super Trench Attack and its sequel
Downwell
Titan Souls
Diehard Dungeon
Stray Cat Crossing
Level 22
A Fistful of Gun
Hotline Miami
If I think of any more I'll put them here.

You are welcome, glad I could help. You might also check out Nitrome, a flash and mobile game developer- most if not all of their games are pixel art, and while it might not be as unique as you're looking for, there are some nice styles showcased there that are very pleasing to the eye.

Yeah metal slug graphics are legendary, but the complexity of it and the incredible animation would be impossible to do for a single person without spending years doing it. Thanks for the suggestion however.

I didn't particularly enjoy the game but I think Secrets of Rætikon has a unique pixel art style

Doesn't look like pixel art to me, but nevertheless very cool style.

Good titles were already mentioned, but one game is missing.
Superbrothers has incredible pixel art and I haven't been able to recreate that. Must have been a ton of work, too.

Yeah I've seen this one before, very modern and unique. Thanks, looks like I even have it in my library.

I love the art style of EITR, though it's not yet out yet

Oh, if we can mentioned unreleased games, then there's Mother Russia Bleeds, Death's Gambit, Katana Zero and Songbringer. Although they vary in quality. All of them look great, but the question is if they're really that unique or not.
I do agree on EITR tho. Never thought a Souls-like game would make for such great pixel art.

Interesting thanks.

Kathy Rain looks quite unique as they scale photos and paintings for background stuff, but not sure if that looks that good in reality.
