This game was part of my childhood and I have never found a game like this. I really hope to see this game preserved in a playable state, but saddly it is not the case at the moment and the remake that was made changed too much the AI, making it quite hard to play.
I agree with the other comment, this was also part of my childhood. There are similar games out there like The Hive, but not with a progress campaign like this one. So yeah, I also have never seen another game that is exactly like this one.
Those games also need your vote!

Drakengard 3
Drakengard 3Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions. A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.
