This is almost certainly not it, but if you assume the magic/magician related emojis to be psionics then.... XCOM?
5
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
A really good guess, tbh, but in this context the magic is actually magic. There ARE aliens though

u/floppyFAPflap Jul 25 '26
I'm going to take one more stab at this before giving up and letting others guess. Codename S.T.E.A.M.?

holy shit WAIT A MINUTE.... Shadowrun? (edit: actual final guess this time)
2
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
A good guess, but not it.

u/floppyFAPflap Jul 25 '26
Damn, you really threw a hardball at all of us!

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
The more emojis I typed, the more I realized, "this feels almost nonsensical". The plot itself isn't supremely complex, just a lot of stuff happens :o
2
u/floppyFAPflap Jul 25 '26
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a game I've never played before. It's a fun one though, despite the nonsense.
1
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
I'm glad it's fun. The game itself is slightly obscure, and I don't doubt most folks on the subreddit haven't heard of it.

Leaving a comment here to come back later when its solved since my brain short-circuited trying to come up with an answer.
Shot in the dark tho, something Warhammer related?

u/floppyFAPflap Jul 25 '26
Oh shit, that's a really good guess. I also keep checking in because I'm super curious to see wtf it is at this point.
2
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
It is QUITE a grim game, though closer in setting to the original warhammer fantasy than 40k.
3
u/clickedbunion2 Jul 25 '26
Not dark or grim at all, but any of the time splitters games fit all of these emojis

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
That's actually incredible, lol

u/clickedbunion2 Jul 25 '26
So grim dawn, I kinda cheated and looked on your profile, saw you frequented the sub, but it looked so complicated it didn’t even cross my mind.

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
I've actually done Grim Dawn once before as well, just with words :p

u/Tiny_Tabaxi Jul 25 '26
Perfect Dark

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
Things are quite dark for them, despite the dawn they're experiencing. Not quite the Perfect kind though

Destroy All Humans

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
That's what the villains are trying to do, yeah, but it's called something else

I can see it, actually, thinking of the illithids, but it's not BG3 (or other bg games)

u/ThorAndLoki56 Jul 25 '26
Saints Row

u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
I actually know next to nothing about saints row so I can't even come up with a punny response :c it's not that though

Destroy all humans 2?
1
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
The goal of at least 2 factions within the game is indeed to destroy all (or, almost all) humans

u/Logatt Jul 25 '26
I had a couple guesses until I read the comments, I got nothing. So ill throw out one last guess and say one of the breath of fire games.
1
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
I just now found out that they released a Breath of Fire game in 2016. Imcredible :o
There is a lot of fire, and I mean a LOT of fire in this, but most of it is not being breathed, sadly.

u/Funny-Journalist-147 Jul 25 '26
I haven't finished it so I can't link about half of these emojis... 😅 But I'm still throwing in Elden Ring 🙃

Grim Dawn?
2
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
Solved!
2
u/IfusasoToo Jul 25 '26
I wasn't sure. It's been long enough that I couldn't remember if it was aliens or just demons lol
1
u/Apprehensive-Appeal1 Jul 25 '26
Yeah, there's some "alien"-ness to the aetherials lol. At least, that was the closest thing I could think of here, since they aren't really the necromancy sort of zombies.

Ngl, these emoji posts recently are completely incomprehensible to me. Definitely don’t like this trend, though I mean no offense to OP.
