A shooter of some sorts where mechs are rare harbingers of death on a battlefield dominated by infantry, battle armor, and basic vehicles. Of course a game like that would be kind of underselling the entire point of the franchise, which is the Battlemechs.
Actually, no it wouldn't. Why? Because you play as or control squads of powered armor under a militia force. You can't afford battlemechs, what, you think random civvies are made of money? But guess what you're fightin? Mechs. "Well then how do you take down assault mechs?" By putting satchels or other shaped charges on their leg as they pass and blowing it out from beneath em, like completely, not just crippling it. Then blow the cockpit. Or dump a building on it. Guess what the game is glorifying? And that's why it would work.
May as well slap the "horror" genre on it.
