today on "Surge's video game ideas that will never happen" I take a break from trying to make the Tecarians the good guys and make them the bad guys. A common theme in "you against the world" action games is a superior foe that you have to outsmart, and so I come to the concept of a Marrian soldier (the player) trapped in a city that is now behind Tecarian lines. The player's goal will be to disrupt Tecarian operations in any way possible while also seeking out gear left behind by his comrades when they were driven from the area. As the Marrians generally use teams of semi-autonomous drones to screen for infantry the player will be salvaging and repairing drones of varying purposes that will help him in combat not only as recon/gun platforms but also as AI squadmates, while he himself will be fairly lavishly equipped since he needs to survive in combat to direct the drones. Ambush tactics would play a heavy role in the gameplay, as well as knowing when to lay low and avoid a fight, and when to let your drones get killed so you can run away and try to grab some more. I'm not sure if it would work better as a sandbox or more linear game. linearity suits deeper progression better but the sandbox will suit the intended gameplay better.
Of course this is all mostly moot as the game will never exist, just a neat idea for a game I'm having fun exploring.
