Genre Combo Game

This is an easy one. Everyone posts a genre of video games (fighting, action-adventure, FPS, RPG, tactical command, puzzle, platformer, rhythm, survival horror, dating sim, etc.), and then you describe a game that combines the genre you mentioned with the above person's. For example, if one person says "JRPG" and the person below them says "dating sim", they could describe something similar to the Conception series.

 

I'll go first, with an easy one:

 

Turn-based RPG

Beat-em-up

 

This nod to arcade classics has rather formulaic beat-em-up gameplay (think Double Dragon) to start off a given level, but each level ends in a gun-toting motorcycle chase segment that takes heavy inspiration from early shoot-em-ups like Galaga, with powerups taking on a different use once you switch sections (eg, the metal pipe can be used to deflect projectiles).

What I've gathered again is that when you post a genre, you're then meant to combine it with the above posted genre. For example, I post:

 

Metroidvania

 

Metroidvania+Stealth

Ah, an entire secret weapons lab to explore, and yet if you get caught, you'll be arrested for life. No, you want your experimental weapons AND a clean slate.Not explosive or showy weapons, mind you, but deadly and effectives ones. This means you can't just walk into a testing site and kill everyone, sadly. Of course, you will need your weapons to take out every lab or so filled with guards, but not before you've rolled the coins, disabled the cameras, and done a bit of ventriloquism in order to take them out one by one.

 

Then the next person combines Metroidvania with a genre they post, and types the game as well. Rinse and repeat

Thank you, Dova. You seem to understand.

 

Real-time strategy

 

 

Metroidvania + RTS

The ultimate in speedrun-ready games, this game focuses on your adventures in saving other survivors of a space cruiser crash, using partners as they come to you to solve puzzles, accomplish neat tricks to get around the massive, mazelike corridors, and get everyone to the last remaining escape craft. A big part of the game revolves around using your map to pinpoint locations where you'll need a specific partner, and guide everyone to best help you fight through this alien environment.
