Huh, I'm not sure I agree. It's fairly straightforward to represent any volume as a 3D grid, and depending on how the game system does the math, it's easy to count cells on any diagonal. I think the controls are a bit messy, but Solasta has a totally usable 3D grid for things like flying, and also shows how area effects like spheres or such affect surfaces on different levels.
