What are some games that combine multiple disparate genres and/or defy genre altogether?
Examples in pic:
Shenmue (a nonlinear life-sim adventure with RPG and beat-em-up elements)
Actraiser (sidescrolling action game + city builder)
Culdcept (board game RPG with card collecting)
Baroque (first-person action roguelite with a vaguely survival horror atmosphere)

the deception series is a bit peculiar. set traps and activate them in a combo to kill your enemies. real-time for the most part.

Shame they never evolved that concept, all sequels play exactly the same

Fighting game that's also a dungeon crawler with a ton of jrpg elements, including an elaborate potion crafting system, leveling up based on body parts and being able to catch enemies like if it was fucking Pokemon
