Surely the internet will not be weird about this. Surely no degeneracy will commence.

Reskin Overcooked so you’re a bunch of Hobbits getting food, beer, and pipeweed served to customers at The Green Dragon.

Then have a later level where you’re Sauron and his minions trying to crank out magical rings of various sorts.

Not sure if it qualifies as “genre defying,” but Princess 9 is a sports anime where some girls are assembled into a baseball team and have to overcome sexism and internal rivalries to become the best team they can. It’s all female-driven and there’s realistic personal issues for them to deal with, and I recommend it as often as I can.
