Is there a type of game that's like a crossover between more traditional action/adventure games and fighting games?
I mean something where you get to pick from a bunch of pre-set characters with unique skills/movesets but you get to play to play them through more "open" scenarios like in your more standard action/rpg/adventure game.
Why would you even want that? sounds awful
I like an ensemble cast of hand-crafted characters but I don't like the limited interaction with the world of fighting games.
user the game you want wouldn't even sell. Why would anyone take the risk?
Sub-Zero Mythologies.
A few beat 'em ups do something similar.
Ragnarok Battle Offline for example.
Grand Chase, when it was a thing.
T6 has a beat em up mode, it's okay.
You're describing beat-em-ups. Particularly the ones with heavier emphasis on movesets.
Risk of Rain
Hotline Miami 2
Starcraft
Borderlands
Diablo
Dynasty Warriors
Thats literally the Musou / Hack n Slash genre idiot.
BlazBlue's story mode. You don't get to pick your dudes, though. Alternatively, Soul Calibur's Libra of Souls -- you make a CaC, travel the world through a map and you can pick your destinations of choice while following the story. You fight people and also get attacked by bandits occasionally.
Like mk shaolin monks?
awoooooga
like T5's "Devil Within"?
I don't think that's what OP is looking for but who knows?
Princess/Dragon's Crown, Odin Sphere, CAPCOM's arcade Dungeons & Dragons. They're not typical fighting games, they're side-scrolling beat 'em ups, but they have RPG stats and similar things you seem to be looking for--based on your description.
Cannon Spike
I think I know what exactly you're looking for
God Hand is a single character beat em up but it might be your thing
I remember Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks being tons of fun for this reason too
A fanmade game called Final Fight LNS Ultimate puts a bunch of beat-em-up and fighting game characters into a beat-em-up game, complete with a lot of their movesets from the games they're from. However there's nothing like character specific routes, interactions or RPG elements. I'd love to see something like this from Capcom, but unfortunately they'd get flooded by shitposters complaining putting The World Warriors in another game is taking time away from SF6 or Makoto DLC in SFV or whatever.
This game is massively underrated, but I wouldn't call it a fighting game. I guess it's kind of like a fighting game if your body parts were party members in an RPG
I can think of Konquest mode in Mortal Kombat Deception and Armageddon. Maybe not quite what you mean, but close.
Alternatively, stuff like Yakuza. They have the structure of a JRPG, with battles being brawling with multiple moves and styles. And Yakuza 4 has multiple playable characters.
All those games Sound good but I'll maybe specify one additional thing. The appeal to me is not just in picking different characters but in them having each their own little story arc. Even if it's the same stages and just different cutscenes. You get a fuller picture by playing as different characters.
From the ones mentioned that I did play Odin Sphere would fit but Diablo, Dragon's Crown and Borderlands wouldn't.
Don't know about the rest.
Soulcalibur VI
Vindictus?
woah! DO yall see those fat fucking titties!?
Muramasa the Demon Blade.
Do you see their expressionless faces or their giant foreheads? Perhaps you see how awful the rest of it is drawn?
Kill yourself Blizzard fag.
>giant foreheads
Now I've seen it all. You're a retarded tranny, neck yourself
Dragon's Crown, Streets of Rage 4... Kinda.
Well, theres Legend of Legaia. Its a traditional RPG, but in battles you do fighting game motions and combos.
Does that count?
I dont play them. I just fap to the characters. Well I used to until my dick stopped working 7 weeks ago. Can't get hard ad morning wood stopped.
No, you fucking spastic coomer. I just happen to have standards. Open your eyes, man.
yes and I'm probably going to jerk off to them :)
Dynasty Warriors?
