It can be a bit too repettetive with just locking on to people and holding the mouse down then letting it go.
How about throwing a robotic ninja dart?
Robotic grenades?
Electro-sapper?
Just add something, not nesseceraly these, but something to have a bit of skill to kill.
And also if possible have different robot models to choose from.
Hmm,
Personally I like the simplicity of the pick up and go combat with the swords (it is about ninja robots) but it might be cool to have “specials” that could be picked up like the stars.
Some sort of distraction item or EMP grenade (think flashbang / stun) or a non/less lethal attack (bringing back the old energy stealing) while retaining the charge, sword kills to keep the gameplay fast.
As they say in batman, smokebombs for missdirection, say if you deploy them you get a puff a smoke and a dummy(with your trail) you carries on going in the direction you were travelling in while you can charge off in another direction also breaking anyone’s lock on.
It would be a very good last resort to get someone off your tail.
Well to go with the Robot theme I was thinking an ability that lets you take a point (or some variable amount) of energy from someone. For example if you have your shield up and you block someone - a “Robot” might be able to steal energy through that shield.
Seriously, something else. Because right now, it’s down to whoever has the better internet connection and lets their attack command go to the server first.
Name: Ki Blast
Description: An Energy ball projectile that shoots out as the ninjas current color
How it works:
To Fire Lock on and then press a button to activate the blast. as you continue to charge the energy sphere gets more bright until max level where it shines like your robot (white). When you release the charge instead of dashing forward you fire the energy ball at your lock instead of you. When the ball hits it explodes letting out a spherical wave of energy. The amount of charge you have when you release it increases the force of the explosion and kick back. The force of releasing the ball should have some kick back to send you flying away from it, it just seems logical and fun to include that.
Also, Current energy levels could have an affect on the ball as well. My thought would be it increases the size of the blast and ball (similar to how it affects the robot).
Energy could emit from the ball Like solar flares on a sun to help people notice it.
Also if it is to strong you could have only a percentage of the energy killed return to the attacker.
You press E to detonate, your body breaks into individual pieces, (i.e. legs, arms, torso), those pieces spread out in a circle around your starting suicide position, and each one explodes individually to cover a differently shaped or sized area. Maybe even add options for the formation your body pieces form before detonation.
