video game idea

genre: action adventure with strategy and RPG elements

main features: combat emphasizes on realistic fighting, including hand to hand, hand to weapon, and weapon to weapon with real physical damage, real model of physic. 4 characters to choose from, bushi, xiake, shushi, heshang. platforming incorporated into fighting. There are magic in the game. Shushi would be the hardest character to play, but will be the most easy to play in the end of the game. magic and melee have two different controls. bushi would be more like a big brute, specialized in wrestling and long weapon, bow and arrow, and horseback riding. xiake specialized in sneaking, free running, and sword fight. shushi specialized in magic, medicine, and alchemy, very weak in melee. Heshang has no specialization, average at everything, no magic though.

story: backdrop around 4\500 AD China.

notes:

bushi will be a brute. he is able to break wall down in some cases. but he is able to jump and run as physically possible. but there are many places he is not able to access without tools wherer xiake could easily get to. he runs much slower than xiake on foot. his bare hand combat style is wrestling since he could easily overpower most of his foes. his weapon of choice would be lance. he is able to use shield effectively with long weapons. he has better focus, so hard lock for him is a good idea.


xiake can do sneak kills. xiake is used at best in soft lock because he is not as powerful as bushi. he can wall run easily, parkour is his style. he could out run, out jump, most of people in the game. his bare hand style is striking style. his weapon of choice is swords. he is very street savvy.

shushi is the weakest person in the beginning. playing him should be more like an adventure game. while other characters could solve many problems by confronting their enemies, shushi on the other hand has to find other solutions. his bare hand combat preference is running. the weapon of choice would be sword and fucheng. he will be able to forge the best weapons in the game, make healing potion, enhancing potion, and other things.

heshang is the most average of them all. he is stronger than xiake, but weaker than bushi. he is able to wall run more than bushi, just a little more. he knew some medicine other people did not know, but not by a lot. he doesn't know metal working. his bare hand combat choice is striking. his weapon of choice is staff.
