How about instead of a god of war clone the lords of shadows series was about a vampire hunter who fights using his bare hands and wrestling techniques? Like instead of whipping succubi he pulls a chokeslam on them, doing piledrivers on Death, German Suplex on Dracula, etc.
And instead of this absurdly depressing and retarded story the Lords of Shadow games had how about just have the dude go against dracula, cheesy promos optional.
Yes I'm still pissed off how Satan pumped iron and you don't get to fight him.
