I want a game that takes place far after the end of humanity, when other sentient races have arisen. There are no humans, no United Federation, no brave Terran colonists, no "human but with ____" species, just a mysterious dead world that you only see halfway through the game with some distinctive continents and no explanation offered.

I had a similar idea, where the humans were actually the "precursors" who uplifted all the races you see in the game. The player, however, is not actually one of these uplifted aliens, but the trans-human AI that actually killed all the humans and cut off the communications between the uplifted species. Essentially a reversed AI War:Fleet Command.

I also thought that a reverse tower defense would be kind of cool. One where you see the towers the enemy has set up, and you have to try to make your attack squad to specifically make it through.

That's kinda what Clash of Clans and its clones are like, until you get to the point where pay2win impregnable defenses can only be defeated by pay2win monsters with huge health that instantly destroy structures.

Gratuitous tank battles do it in attack mode

Defenders of Ardania is a mix of this and classic tower defence. both you and your enemy build towers and send waves to the enemy base

I've played a flash game like that, waaaaaaay back.

Wow. That is almost exactly what I wanted

You mean a Man After Man game? Sounds rather horrible.

The Majesty IP has really been put through the ringer.

There's also one on armor games literally called "reverse tower defense"

That one was really easy and boring, though.

I had an idea about a video game that might be cool, let me lay down the setting first or nothing makes sense: It would occur in a Dark Souls-esque post-apocalyptic setting, where nothing can die. The canonical explanation would be that something literally destroyed the afterlife, so the living world is 'dead' in the sense that nothing can die, and nothing can be born either, so everything that remained tore themselves to pieces over untold millions of years.

You the player would be placed into a suddenly sentient human homunculus, with the ability take the souls of defeated foes and implant them into other bodies and objects. No enemy can remain defeated if you don't capture it's soul, and one of the primary mechanics would be amassing a collection of other bodies, empty living vessels, and implanting the defeated foes into them so they can be pacified with a new purpose and lease on life. So, doing that, little by little you gather a community of these defeated enemies implanted into empty bodies, and you form a community that acts as your hub, ala Dark Cloud.

I'm thinking there'd be a secondary mechanic in picking and choosing which souls go into which bodies based on personalities, as some would be far more or far less competent at certain jobs, which is weighed against how happy some souls are in a given body and job. Example: One soul would be extremely competent at being a shopkeeper, but he'd hate doing it, and he may never improve at it over time, or you could place him into the body of a dog and he just loves it completely.

I'm thinking the object of the game would be to explore the post-death world, collect those few souls still sane enough to rehabilitate, slowly rebuild a functioning society, and uncover the truth about what caused the disaster in the first place. *idea in progress

Soulémon! Gotta stab 'em all!

[Sirus]

Sounds like something I'd play, tbh.
