Lets Design a Game!

[drukai]

So I'd like to play a little game with you guys! Lets design a game from the ground up, and make it incredibly unique, while still retaining quality... but with a twist! Each person posting a comment, add ONE idea to the list of ideas already posted - I'll try to keep that updated up here too - Try to flesh it out as much as you can, but keep it fairly simple and stomp on previous ideas! Be creative, and be totally okay with it if someone decides to actually give it a whirl!

A DMC/God of War/Ninja Gaiden style beat-em-up, but set in an alternate near-future with magic, aliens and technology.
This will be an MMORPG with a fully skillshot based attack system (Ironically, fitting extremely well with DMC style gameplay, think maybe Rakion or Gunz if you played either).
As a player, you will take up arms as an alien, rising up against the incoming human scourge!
Humans are filled with "Elemental ectoplasm". Your character can absorb the "EE" and depending on how many charges they have, their attacks will be different, and have different effects.

I want our game to be a DMC/God of War/Ninja Gaiden style beat-em-up, but set in an alternate near-future with magic, aliens and technology.

Bad choice, this is a MMO forum, you should keep it a MMO

But since its your thread, im playing:

-Your character is the alien this time, and the enemy are the humans, who invade your planet and start a genocide in search for oil

In said future, enemies are filled with, we'll call it "Elemental ectoplasm". Your character can absorb the "EE" and depending on how many charges they have, their attacks will be different, and have different effects.

For example, lets say you have 3 spaces to put charges, and have 2 fire, 1 water, your attacks may be fiery, with an aquatic special attack. Or possibly 3 air charges, your attacks fire out wind, making enemies fly around the screen.

Hell, you could even go as far as giving your protagonist special powers for having a certain amount of the same charge. 3 wind, you can glide through the air, 3 water, you can swim at fast speeds.
