So, I'm using a basic turn based battle system for my game, but I want the battles to feel different than a normal turn based game.
I've come up with a couple of "Add-On" ideas, and was hoping the community could come up with more cool ways to change up the battle system. Here are the ones I've come up with to get things rolling!

3 Platforms
After you've made your selection (attack, use a skill, etc), the game requires you to move to 1 of 3 platforms.
The enemy has an attack that hits 2 out of the 3 platforms, and during the battle, you need to figure out what rules their attacks follow to choose the right platform, and stay alive.

Changing Elements
At the start of each turn, a random element is decided. The player takes and receives double damage from this element during their turn, and the enemy's turn.

Burden of Health/Burden of Mana
Using Basic Attacks and Skills drains health, and more mana respectively, causing you to be extra cautious when choosing which abilities to use.

I'm eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions! What add on would you like to see change up the battle system?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
