Ideas for a Star Wars Survival Horror game.
With all the amazing star Wars games over the years I’m pretty surprised that we’ve yet to see a Star Wars game done as a Survival Horror type game especially when there’s a lot of scary elements and characters from SW lore both from Legends and Canon to pull from to make it possible. Sure Jedi Fallen Order technically has horror elements to it and that some parts of it is compared to a horror movie but even then it plays more like one would expect from a SW game but in a good way. So should we finally get one I’d like to see some of these happen.
1. A horror game where you try to evade Darth Vader’s wrath. Not the most original idea true but it’s nonetheless a very effective one as both Rouge One and Jedi Fallen Order have demonstrated that it can work. The story can be about where you play as either a surviving Jedi from Order 66, A Bounty Hunter, or a Rebel soldier/spy that tries to avoid Vader as he tries to end your life. He can basically act as the Mr X/Nemesis of the game showing up where you least expect it to use a Resident Evil reference.
2. A game where it adapts the Blackwing Virus story into Canon. If there was a perfect time to reintroduce the Blackwing Virus into the current Canon universe that was first introduced in the Legends story Death Troopers a horror game would be more then perfect for it. Think about it, you can take inspiration from horror games like Resident Evil where you have to use resources to fight off against undead Stormtroopers and such while avoiding being one yourself.
3. A game where you explore the darker side of the Force. Again you can take inspiration from games like Silent Hill along with using scary force elements from both Legends and Canon to give us a game where you fight off enemies that you can’t just kill with a gun or a lightsaber. Something that scenes like Luke’s cave scene and Yoda’s journey in The Clone Wars proved. If that doesn’t make for some trippy nightmare fuel I don’t know what does.
Anyone else have any ideas for a Star Wars Horror game? Let me know!
