I've sort of had an itch to make a 3D combat system which was very light, cinematic and bombastic like Kingdom Hearts. I was trying to think of what other games fit this bill though?

There are a lot of close games - God of War has a surprising number of similarities, and a lot of the hack-n-slash genre is in a similar category. But most demand you mostly master the same moves, wheras Kingdom Hearts sort of tries to make each enemy feel unique and (some) levels offer visual evolutions of your combat animations rather than damage boosts.

Also, I don't know how this'll be scoped. Ideally it'd be something that can be finished in ~6 months (so really should be planning for 2 months) which means that we might have to focus entirely on just getting fun mechanics. I'm dreamily thinking of going the route of something like Hyper Light Drifter, just focusing 110% on getting the core combat fun and whimsical.

Our art style would have to be super easy so we can pour all that extra effort into the animations.
