I’m thinking games that have traditionally been in one genre, but that you’d love to see take a complete 180.

Mario + Rabbids, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and the newly announced Callisto Protocol roguelite.

Maybe you’d like to see a Mario platformer in the style of Cuphead or Meat Boy. Maybe it’s a new take on Zelda…by combining it with a turn based RPG.

Let’s have some fun and see what we can mash together.

    1. Hitman series as an X-Com or Jagged Alliance style turn based strategy. I think that’s pretty easy to imagine and self explanatory.

    2. FIFA or Pro Evo as an ascii turn based tactical roguelike. I don’t mean running through dungeons etc, I mean still playing football, just that it’s controlled on a grid, with you controlling a single @, and the other players moving when you move a tile etc, keyboard shortcuts for pass/lob/shoot/skill manoeuvres etc.

    3. Rugby League Live series in the style of Sensible World of Soccer. Pretty self explanatory. Rugby pretty much missed the “fast paced arcade action, 3 minute match” era of computer games, and they just churn out these slow, buggy Fifa-likes each year.

    The closest I’m aware of currently are “Phantom Doctrine” (as a spy Xcom) and “Football Tactics & Glory” (as a turn based football game).

    More of a genre, but I’d like to see survival horror (like Alan Wake and Silent Hill) as walking simulators or similar. No combat, just atmosphere and story.

      The worst part of the Alan Wake games (at least for me) is the combat. I’d be happy to ditch those for less of that.

      I think SOMO actually patched in a mode that stripped out all combat for that exact reason.

      Silent Hill: Shattered Memories comes close. You walk around searching for your daughter, piece together what happened and occasionally run away from monsters. My first Silent Hill game and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
