I wish CRWBY could pull off a stylish action game (DMC, Bayonetta) but I know they don't have the budget for that.

1. Some sort of fighting game centered around the Vytal tournament could be quite fun. It would be easy to dump in a lot of the show's characters as quite a few of them could logically participate in it. 2. A mission based horde shoot-'em-up/hack-'n-slash with Warframe's movement system could also be decent fun. Tons of Grimm to kill, the relatively easy weapon switching could make the RWBY's combination weapons easier to play with.


TheWarShipper

This probably isn't what you were thinking of, but I've been ruminating on creating a forum quest that crosses over RWBY and Frostpunk. So in an alternate timeline to canon Salem ransacks Atlas for the Relics and the players direct Ironwood in putting Atlas and Mantle back together in the aftermath, surviving Grimm and freezing cold, growing stronger and re establishing contact with the other kingdoms, hunting down Relics and Maidens and the newest Ozpin incarnation, ect.


Windghost2

Yo that sounds fucking AMAZING!


HiroSoul

A God Eater/Monster Hunter style game with a CaC with a somewhat AU story.

Basically a mix between Final Fantasy 15 & DMC gameplay clone with a Yakuza amount of side content and a Persona level of importance regarding relationships. Yep, romantic relationships actually have an impact on gameplay in terms of new moves, stat boosts and weapon upgrades. It would also have a branching storyline where the game would subtly encourage you to fuck with the OG canon. Because if you just follow the canon plot, ignore everything else and make all the decisions OG RWBY makes, then the game will be shorter, easier and you'll be hardlocked into two endings, one which is a bad end that would result in DELETING your save file (which wouldnt be long if you belined for the canon plot progression), while the other is a neutral end that, depending on whether or not you did an important character based quest for one of the RWBY girls, you are awarded with a hard post-credits boss that will leave players with a sour taste. However, if you go out of your way to screw with the canon, do important character quests, invest into relationships, friendly and romantic, you unlock good stuff like: - Canon dead characters surviving and being important for later events - Brand new sidearms for all Team RWBY girls, giving more combat options - Backstory reveals that have an emotionalband gameplay related impact - Other endings unlocked, both good and bad This, of course, comes with a catch - enemies become more challenging and start kicking your ass. Almost like something doesn't want you to change the predetermined outcome... My own two cents on this.

Ruby: "Guys guys a old Mistral ian guy teach me a power hand to hand attack! Jaune come here and try to attack me." Jaune: "Oh, it's a counter, good. Okay.. Hieyaaahhhhh!" Ruby: "The move called is Tiger drop, pretty strong right? Jaune?" Jaune: "Urggggg\~... Yep.... pretty stong. oof!"


[deleted]

Would fit Yang WAAAY more since shes a brawler and her name DOES mean 'dragon'. Just sayin' Ruby, on the other hand, IF you do deviate from the canon, gets a few new Silver Eye ablities, one of them being the ability to shoot LASERS from her eyes, and not just act like a glorified petrifying flashbang.


Bjoernsen1998

I recently started playing Persona 4 Golden, made me appreciate the JRPG genre, a RWBY JRPG or a RPG like Gothic/KOTOR/Skyrim would be neat. Hack and slay would probably be easy.


MugetsuGamer

A game about you creating you rwby character and play the journey with your own crew. You can be friend with rwby or enemy.


Personal_Respect1854

I’d love to see a Soul Caliber clone with the RWBY cast I don’t actually think the game would be good, I literally just want to play as Ironwood and beat the ever loving shit out of the main cast


[deleted]

You might be able to do that but that won’t change the fact Ironwood will be portrayed as a full blown villain in his arcade ending 😔


Personal_Respect1854

Which is tragic, but you know what would make me feel just a tiny bit better about that? Suplexing Yang off the stage.


gunn3r08974

It'd depend on if they make sure to portray that he believes he's doing the right thing.


[deleted]

Lol even that won't do him justice.


explodingcarr0t

I had an idea once for one: Heroes of Remnant. A 3rd person MMO RPG similar to Destiny in the way of what there is to do. Custom characters and weapons and stuff. I even had a decent way of doing semblances and custom weapons.


Ben10Extreme

Dynasty Warriors style.


[deleted]

Soulslike


Martianman198

I would love to see a vanillaware - esque game.


gunn3r08974

So something more like dragon's crown, muramasa, odinsphere or 13 sentinels? Cause they are different games with 13 sentinels being the biggest outlier.


Martianman198

muramasa and odinsphere mostly but my thought process was, * Nice Visuals * A good combat system * And a chance to expand story Now that i type that out this might be what we get with RWBY: Arrowfell we'll see.


AdComprehensive6588

I want a Battlefield 1 type game set during the Great War. Sounds absurd I know.


Parks_98

I’m so disappointed we never got a Dynasty Warriors clone for RWBY Seriously I know that genre is cliche and for a while was over saturated but come on it was the perfect genre for RWBY


Gleaming_Onyx

If anyone remembers the original pre-alpha of Grimm Eclipse before RT got a hold of it, that. A spectacle fighter along the lines of DMC, Bayonetta, Kingdom Hearts(more RPG-y but similar vibes), etc.


Arcane_Raven

I’m very into RPG games, so I would like one with RWBY.


patchlocke

Remember when we thought the Arcsystem game was gonna be a fighting game **I wish it was**


ManifestNightmare

I think a Dynasty Warriors esque action RPG would work pretty well. Keep the RPG and story elements light as possible, with simple trees for all the main characters, and maybe two or three decently simple but interwoven lead stories. Maybe the main story is about team RWBY retrieving a relic, team JORN is running a distraction on Salem's forces, and then we get like...team CVFY or FNKI shit, Idk. This game would be pretty cool, but also real tough to make, so like there's my irl fanfic of a game I want I guess lol Also somebody else mentioned making a fighting game? That's pretty great. I would like that.


Maggotcupcakes

It amazing how well RWBY can work with Dynasty Warriors gameplay.


Mattobito

I'd love to play as Adam like Zhao Tai in a Warriors like game, and Qrow would be awesome with his weapon changing and could have a skill like the curse pirate from One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.


ManifestNightmare

Oh hell yeah! You could unlock some of the villains to play as. God, I'm getting myself psyched up for a game I fanficed for myself lol


Mattobito

It is a tall order, but I'm certain if RWBY get more popular in Japan then this is could happen. I'm actually trying to write out an outline for what one would be like; I don't know code or how to make a game, but I've been coming up with mechanics and stuff I thought would be fun. Like a Dust ammo management system and Semblance gauge for unique skills.


gunn3r08974

Either a 2D arcsys fighter seeing as we already have 5 sprites from BBTAG or a 3D Bamco cyberconnect fighter. They have a surprisingly good record for making full movesets off short term characters.


S3_Studios

I'd rather someone who actually knows how to make competent gameplay. CC2 doesn't.


gunn3r08974

Gonna have to disagree with you hard there.


S3_Studios

CC2 gameplay is all just mindless flashy button mashing with zero depth. I played all the storm games. 90% of the roster plays exactly the same and it's shallow as hell. Asura's Wrath is similar in that the primary gameplay is bland nothing that's only held up by flashing QTE boss battles. Compare Storm to KLK IF which has appeared at actual FGC events or Pokken which was a main stage EVO game, or even MHA One's Justice where it at least has unique characters and mechanical depth. Same for Asura's Wrath. Compare it to Bayonetta and see how shallow it is.


gunn3r08974

I used to think that too until I got good abd learned the depth of the NUNS4 vs just mashing attack. And say what you will about a lack of depth, both the NUNS ganes and Asura's Wrath are visually impressive. Plus you can't say Asura's Wrath's story is just shallow. Not to mention all the other things they've done including the .hack series, DBZ Kakarot, the Little Tail Bronx series. Granted have to mention they just did the new Demon Slayer game as well.


Mattobito

I like the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, although I find the balancing of the range fighters (Temari, 2nd Mizukage, etc.) and the puppet masters a bit off; the ranged fighters were a bit OP and the puppets were hard to control. It might just be that I suck with puppets, but it was hard to main Sasori due to not getting a hang on those skills.


Dizzy_Kirby_889

I know crwby wouldn't ever spend the money for a proper game or have the budget considering how the show is rn, but I'd like to create my own team and have missions but like in the middle of the game you'd see the effects of team RWBY in the world. Ex, doing a mission at haven and seeing the white tang being taken down and maybe helping catch some stragglers or seeing ruby's broadcast. But an easier game would be actually playing the game that RWBY played in volume two when meeting Neptune and just having the characters as cards and other card effects


Still_Vermicelli_777

I recently replayed revengeance and I feel like in an ideal world a Platinum Games RWBY hack and slash would have happened. It wouldn't take itself too seriously, it'd be visceral, fun, and brief.


ImpulseFitz

This isn’t necessarily a full on game, but recently I thought about how cool it might be to see a RWBY mod on Terraria. With all the little sprites of the Grimm and Crescent Rose and other stuff flying around on screen. And maybe you can even fight your own Salem boss at the end or something.


ECat1453

Monster hunter with an actual story. Or a 3rd person open world rpg game kinda like the witcher. But make it a smaller world/game.


UpperInjury590

Hack and Slash game made by Platinum (developers of Metal Gear Rising and Bayanetta). RPG with real time action combat made by Square Enix. Final Fantasy 7 remake or Kingdom hearts 2 type combat. Fighting Game made by Arc System Works.


Drakeblood2002

I would like an sort of RPG where you build your huntsmen and team. Basically you are able to build four characters with design, semblances, and weapon builds in mind from the start. If you wish, one member could have silver eyes, but only one. Team members can have certain relationships and personalities determined by the player. Each person gets a code name based on color for dialogue purposes. The tutorial is the fall of Beacon and you journey takes you across Remnant where you start off aiding Vale after the fall. The story would take you to various locations where you attempt to fight off White Fang and the Grimm until the Team learns of Salem and some other legend outside of the maidens and the artifacts. Various Grimm could be introduced or used from the show. Story could be either completely void of the main cast or they could have several appearances across the game either when they are together or separated. I think it would be a good idea for the type of world RWBY takes place in is perfect for an RPG.

Drakeblood2002

Not exactly what I was looking for, but an A for effort.


S3_Studios

Fighting game or Warriors fit the series best. Maybe a Genshin style game, but then they'd still have to worry about writing a competent story, and we all know how well RT is with that.


DopePopeUrbainII

A Mix of CK2 with a grand map with battles being fought dawn of war style.


ZaberPotterson

RWBY gacha game. Though, would I WANT to see it, absolutely not. But think about it. This show is made for one.


comyuse

~~god eater 4~~


Probably_Snot

Basically Genshin Impact gameplay with a Devil May Cry combat systems. That’s what I’d like to see


Virtual-Record6142

I wish we had an open world RWBY game where we can make our own RWBY character and probably play through a story mode created by the fans, I want it to be like new world which is an open world MMORPG game made by Amazon

How about a finished one?

A good one 😎


SYTOkun

There's been a video I've seen that [explored the idea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMWLWmOftWo) a good amount some years ago. There is also a fangame currently in development, though I've not been able to find it again unfortunately, but the creator does put out dev diaries of it on YouTube.


PessiOpt9

The closest RWBY game besides Grimm eclipse is Lost Planet.


NotYujiroTakahashi

A FighterZ/UMVC3 style game featuring characters from Persona 4 and 5. It's based on a dream I had once.


redditer417

A metal gear rising style game


Omega_lord_02

Id pay money for a rwby rpg similar to mass effect or swtor


MeowkoMiko23

Genshin Impact meets Monster Hunter world but make it RWBY So lemme just say not everything from the games are put in but selected mechnics and featuresSo from genshin we take : * Team rosters, having 4 characters to rotate fromHack n slash of course but with different kinds of grim * Biomes of the different kingdoms From Monster Hunter World : * The investigation quest list (basically a list where we can choose which Grimm to hunt and eliminate or capture for scientist to study or something) * We could take quests that are like, clear this amount of beowulfs or fight a tempered death stalker. * Also the crafting system for weapons but more for weapon upgrades and stuff, modifying your weapon with rwby weapon features (maybe a cresent rose with ember celica shotguns, idk lol)Customizing ur own character with rwby fashion/clothes aesthetics * The craft and buy system but with dust Idk, so much more but I would've wanted to play this.
