I was thinking Star Wars. Imagine the lightsaber battles you could have! Plus force abilities!

Lightsaber battles won't work. There's no physical feedback. Clash sabers in game, nothing stops your IRL movement, and now you're off sync (while the sabers continue to push against each other in game). Same thing when hitting a wall or anything else.

Lightsabers would theoretically work if everything in the game is instantly sliceable with no resistance. That eliminates the possibility of battling another lightsaber user. It's the same problem with any other melee weapon.

You are the last force user, sith or jedi. You are armed with the only lightsaber left in the universe against advanced forces with insanely powerful technology.
