Well I've been bouncing an idea of a fantasy RPG/Adventure/Tactical dungeon crawler based on a few of my favorite old 2D games. The basic idea would be a tower that players ascend or descend. You'd have to make it to the top or bottom level in one run without any teleports back to town to buy health pots or new items.
Its based off of this little known game from PS1 called Azure Dreams. You basically spent the whole game making it as far into this tower with 100 floors until you had strong enough weapons (and pokemon type pets that you level up) to make it to the top floor and fight the final boss. The player character's experience was reset to level 1 every time you reenter the tower so it was a pretty challenging game. Not only that but you were limited to carrying only 5 items going into the tower which included everything from your healing herbs to your sword, shield and pokemon dudes. The game play itself was like a turn based version of zelda where each action you make is a turn and the enemies move or attack with each move you make. Its hard to explain exactly haha. Id recommend checking it out.
I have a lot of other ideas but my basic idea is to rip off Azure Dreams :D
