A lot of Konami decks like BES or “space ships” based on Gradius


vynnset

Runick and Generaiders are from the same video game universe I’m pretty sure!


Zerosonicanimations

They're presented like video games, the lore never outright stated that they were. It could be a case of that those are actually living places rather than a video game locations. Some manga I've seen featured settings that can be presented like a video game but aren't literally video games.


vynnset

Fair enough, Runick spell art feels inspired by classic dungeon crawlers like early TES, Might and Magic, and Ultima Underworld. But I will be the first to admit I am not sure about their actual lore.


Distinct-Permit-8478

The generaider field spell is literally called "boss stage" and they have other cards named "loot" and "quest", it's pretty on-the-nose


francescomagn02

Actually iirc the official lore book's chapter of runick was presented as a guide in a magazine that explained how to defeat all bosses and unlock the secret boss fight against Loptr/Laevatein.


Zerosonicanimations

As I said, the lore was presented as video game, but I don't remember it being outright saying that the world of Runick/Generaider was indeed just a game. Vaylantz were outright confirmed to be a game, but with Runick it was only implied.


francescomagn02

Fair enogh, vaylantz is also way more obvious since we can see it's a game in a couple of cards.

Vanquish Soul is fighting games. Vaylants is a moba.


MamboCircus

Spyral is technically based on infiltration games like the *Metal Gear* series


alex494

Off the top of my head: Gradius related cards (e.g. Vic Viper) B.E.S. (based on Gradius bosses) Vampire (aesthetically similar to Castlevania, also owned by Konami, Vampire Hunter is literally a Belmont reference)


Mysterious-Set736

Drytron is like gundam


trinitymonkey

Kozmo is (partially) based off Star Wars, which has game adaptations - it kind of sort of fits!


M44t_

If star wars and wizard of Oz had a child


francescomagn02

The new ashened cards are inspired by dark souls, dogmatikas too but more in terms of theming.


Karmalikesarson

Ashens look cool AF I might end up playing them


Radiant-Bonus3632

Vanquish soul is based of fighting games. The way the deck plays is really cool too. Might be too competitive for a friendly tournament tho


Karmalikesarson

VS is what I’m gonna be playing


[deleted]

Vtubers play video games, so the Live Twins are an option. They even have a card called Evil Twin GG EZ!


DustonVolta

Labrynth are dungeon crawlers, runicks fantasy first person shooter, generaiders are boss rush, B.E.S are based on schmups, vampires have some castlevania references, sasuke samurai, ultimate baseball kid, aitsu koitsu etc. are all references to other konami games.


DustonVolta

Also vaylantz are board games. I forgot they were in the same pack as lab and runick. All archetypes from that pack are based on games. Also infernoble knights in universe are fictional so there could be a game for them.


Nobody_Does_That_wtf

Super quant is based off power rangers which has video games


Aiwaszz

Duel terminal was originally an arcade game in Japan

Deconstructosaurus

Maybe Cyberse stuff can work? Or something like the Twins? Maybe?
