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).
