I'm pretty sure you just described Palworld.

Hey, if I can combine Stellaris and Jupiter Hell, I'm sure there's something we can do with that pair.

Oh hey, I thought I was the only one playing Herald of Havoc! It's pretty fun but seems to be basically unknown lol.

Yeah. It's a pretty small game. I went from episode one to the final boss in under three hours, and I'm pretty slow. After five hours and change, I have about seventy percent of the Achievements. Don't think I'll go for 100, that's not usually my thing.
...eh, you have a point. 🤷♂️
Anyway, Herald of Havoc crossed with SMAC. You're an elite soldier in the United Nations Peacekeeping Corps battling, say, the Spartans, the Hive, or the Pirates. You've got some extra special augmentations and a prototype battlesuit to help you out, which explains why you can blast through entire companies of guys and carry an entire armory on your person. I'd think you'd start with an Impact Rifle as your reliable mainstay, upgrade to a Plasma Shard Launcher as your rocket launcher equivalent, step up with a Graviton Gun as your plasma rifle equivalent, and finish off with a String Disruptor as the BFG. You'd have to invent one or two shotguns to fill out the armory, but that shouldn't be too hard. A variant of the Fusion Laser to make a meltagun, anyone? And a flamethrower, of course.
The fight starts with you blasting through common grunts in body armour, escalates with hard-fighting elites in power suits, then they start bringing in choppers or hovertanks as minibosses, mind worms and psychics as a more exotic threat, teleporting ninjas with guns sneaking around taking potshots at you, the Locusts of Chiron as a setpiece boss fight, Gravships as late game threats, and storming the enemy's headquarters and blowing up their primary command center as the climax.
Alternatively, reveal that the only reason you're fighting is that the Manifold Usurpers want to rule Chiron and pitted you against each other, and have the final boss be Judah Marr in an up-gunned Battle Ogre mk3, and once it breaks down he jumps out of the wreckage to take you on himself. Actually, that sounds kind of rad. You know what, maybe it could work.

Rain World + Helldivers 2 = A nice reprieve from the awful, perpetual struggle... of Rain World.
Look at them, they're having such a great time. There's so much food, and hardly any bone-crushing torrential downpour!

Hellmire is less dangerous than the torrential downpour.
You can avoid the fire tornadoes.

Sending a replacement helldiver after they turn to ash is not "avoiding" a fire tornada

I guess maybe they should try being covered in slime.
No for real though if that was a booster I'd buy it.
Helldivers, please stop lighting like matches because you touched a piece of grass that was on fire. :[
pls

Given the method of insertion and it's frequent consequences, one might even say they've progressed from avoiding the bone-crushing torrential downpour... to becoming the bone-crushing torrential downpour.

Helldivers + Cyberpunk 2077.
With access to a cyberdeck, I can hack my Guard Dog Rover to be actually friendly instead of shooting me in the fucking head while aiming at the ground near a terminid.
Alternatively, unleashing a high-speed airdash sword combo on enemy infantry, causing their jetpack to explode and kill me instantly.

Fire Emblem 7 and Stellaris. Ngl, I can totally see a FE-style SRPG set in the Stellaris universe happening. Just from my last campaign, I would love to see a recreation of the Siege of New Kurdistan with the Free Solar Confederation defending against the Highborn Dominion.
