Basically dark souls/sekiro/bloodborne set in Cyberpunk like world ? But there's constant challenges of rythm game ?
Realistically, I dont think my reaction time would suffice to survive.
Not without any enhancement to my reaction time, which means i would need enhanced synthetic body, expensive surgery, and cyborg parts, or any cyberpunk buzzword technology.
To get Blade mode/Zandatsu that could slow down time temporarily like how Raiden from Metal Gear Revengeance does.
But the gauges or meter would run out, and it would not be as easy to fill up like in MGR, not unless i choose the right shop.
You got it. Of course I didn't mention the whole concept of this unique world mechanic of mine. Yes it is cyberpunk world so augmentations, and robotics are present but I have another surprise for my future readers about the musical androids so it also fits as fantasy sci Fi.
You actually "Source Code" from defeating them. The Source Codes contain a word that can be constructed to reality and has music presets.
Ex. You found Source Code with a word "Electric" inside, if you implant it to your body, you'll gain that ability. So if you found another that has a word "Guitar" you can combine a wide array of your own weapon techniques using an instrument.
Of course I also have my limiters to this powers.
As for the time slowdown, that's a huge advantage especially in this world so I've integrated it as what I call the Harmonic Equation and the Harmonious Reaction.
A phenomena in this world will not allow dissonance, so the moment you absorb Source Code, you must obey the rule of not falling dissonant or you'll be punished.
I said in the other comments that expelling your energy (kinetic) creates beats and your directions creates notes, mixing the two and you'll get simple melody.
In a fight, your melody must be more consistent than your opponent so they will fall to dissonance instead of you.
The more consistent your dodges and hits, following the pattern of your music and you will slowly fill up the meter of your Harmonic Equation, if it fills up, you'll be able to use different stages of Harmonius Reaction which gives buffs or debuffs to the enemies including immersion which is the time slow.
Parry mechanics of course I won't forget this to punish moves and combos.
And the rarity drops and class of the enemies that gives different tiers of Source Codes you can insert to your body.
I thought about this mechanics deeply that I know I'll have fun writing fight scenes when I reach that point of story.
Inevitably, someone will accidentally pick up a hammer and a sickle at the same time. Then hear trumpets in the background.
I cry at night, not for the fall of Roman Empire, but for the Motherland
so basically hi-fi rush with more rpg mechanics?
If the corporations are portrayed grittier and without a Irish baddie
. Yes.
