Koei Tecmo Warriors Crossover Ideas

I’ve been thinking a lot about the potential for new Koei Tecmo Warriors crossover games recently. We’ve seen adaptations with franchises like Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage, One Piece: Pirate Warriors, Dragon Quest Heroes, Hyrule Warriors, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, Persona 5 Strikers, Touken Ranbu Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors. What other IPs would you like to see melded with the fast-paced, large-scale battles from the Warriors series?

Soul Calibur Warriors, Final Fantasy Warriors, and Pokemon Warriors would be cool.
 
Ultra Warriors (Ultraman)
Ultra Warriors: Players could take on the role of various Ultramen from across the franchise’s long history. Each Ultraman character could have a unique set of abilities and special attacks, mirroring their powers in the series.

Enemies could consist of various kaiju that have appeared throughout the series. These kaiju could serve as regular enemies, more powerful sub-bosses, or as large bosses that require more strategy and effort to defeat.

Battles could take place in various city environments, with the landscape being destructible due to the large-scale fights common in the series. There could also be missions where the goal is to minimize city damage while fighting off kaiju to simulate the balancing act that often occurs in Ultraman shows, where the heroes need to protect the city but also fight off massive threats.
 
Soul Calibur Warriors: Players could take on the roles of various characters from the Soul Calibur series, each with their own unique weapon styles and special moves. This could include iconic characters like Siegfried with his giant sword, Taki with her dual kodachi, and Voldo with his unique, eerie fighting style.

The game’s enemies could consist of soldiers, monsters, and other adversaries drawn from the lore of Soul Calibur. Key antagonists from the series, like Nightmare, could serve as boss characters in certain stages, requiring strategic play to defeat.

Stages could be inspired by various locations found in the Soul Calibur games, providing a sense of familiarity for series fans. Special gameplay mechanics like Ring Outs, which are a key part of the original series, could also be incorporated in a fun way.

In terms of a storyline, the game could center around the battle for the Soul Edge, with the various characters coming together to prevent its misuse. This could serve as an opportunity to further explore the rich lore of the Soul Calibur universe.

Final Fantasy Warriors: While Dissidia is primarily a one-on-one fighting game, a Warriors game would allow players to face hordes of enemies simultaneously, which could capture the feel of facing off against large groups of enemies in Final Fantasy’s random encounters.

Players could take control of various heroes from across the Final Fantasy franchise. Each character could have a unique moveset based on their abilities in their original games. For example, Cloud Strife could use his Limit Break abilities, while Terra Branford could transform into her Esper form for powerful magic attacks.

Enemies could be a variety of monsters from the Final Fantasy bestiary, ranging from common foes like Goblins and Bombs to more powerful enemies like Behemoths and Malboros. Iconic bosses and antagonists, such as Sephiroth or Kefka, could serve as challenging boss fights.

Locations for battles could range across the many worlds of Final Fantasy, from the streets of Midgar to the plains of Spira. Special mechanics could also be included, such as summoning Espers or Aeons for powerful attacks or support.

Pokémon Warriors: Players could step into the shoes of Pokémon trainers, partnering with their Pokémon in real-time combat against waves of wild Pokémon. Rather than the turn-based combat of the mainline Pokémon games, this would focus on real-time action in line with the Warriors series.

Each trainer could have a team of Pokémon that they can switch between on the fly, with each Pokémon having its own unique set of moves and abilities based on its type and evolutionary stage. This could include ranged attacks, area of effect attacks, status effects, and more, bringing the strategic depth of Pokémon battles into the Warriors format.

The enemies would primarily be wild Pokémon, with larger, more powerful Pokémon acting as mini-bosses or bosses. There could also be other trainers to battle against, or even teams like Team Rocket causing trouble.

The game could feature various regions from the Pokémon world as its battlefields, each with its own selection of wild Pokémon. The objective of each stage could range from defeating a certain number of enemies, to protecting a location, to capturing specific Pokémon.

Incorporating elements like type advantages, evolution, and maybe even Mega Evolution or Dynamaxing could further deepen the gameplay, offering a new way to experience the Pokémon universe. The Pokémon’s level and stats could grow as they gain experience, just like in the main series.
 
Transformers Warriors: Players could control a variety of Autobots and Decepticons from across the Transformers multiverse, such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Each character could have unique abilities based on their transformations and weapons. For instance, Optimus Prime could use his semi-truck form for fast travel and powerful charges, while Starscream could use his jet form for aerial attacks.

Enemies could consist of a wide range of Decepticons or Autobots, depending on the player’s chosen faction, with the possibility of including other entities such as the Quintessons, Predacons, or Vehicons. Iconic foes like Unicron or the combined form of Devastator could serve as epic boss battles.

Battles could take place across various locations from the Transformers universe, such as Cybertron, Earth, and possibly other planets like Velocitron or Junkion.

The game’s storyline could revolve around a multiverse-spanning conflict, bringing together Transformers from different continuities to face a common threat. This would allow characters from different series, like G1, Beast Wars, or the live-action films, to interact and team up.

Incorporating transformation into the gameplay could offer a unique twist on the Warriors formula, allowing for more versatile movement and combat options. Additionally, combiner characters could serve as special power-ups or abilities, allowing several characters to combine into a much more powerful form for a limited time.
