Would anyone settle with playing a post apocalyptic Star Fox game?

The basic backstory here is that an unnamed war in the lylat system became so massive in scale that it reduced nearly all the planets into either desert wastelands or snowball planets (Sauria is reduced to an asteroid field because of the whole spellstone business.). The space between these planets are littered with wrecks of large spaceships and stations from that war. It's also rife with criminals, pirates and other undesirables that were formerly hunted down by the cornerian army. Gangs such as Star Wolf or Free as a Bird balloon into full factions in the time after the war. Fighting over what little remained of the lylat system. Although still reliant on technology, the survivors have begun to grow dependent on a practice believed to be nonexistent: Magic and spiritualism.

Since they were widely viewed and glorified as saviors of lylat, the Star Fox team's legacy is passed down in stories, reaching a mythical status at a certain amount of time. The elders describe them as being celestial warriors who fought for a righteous cause and brought about peace an harmony over warring the space tribes. Descending in wings of blue and shooting arrows of green light it those who seek injustice. The most popular and founding myth was the legendary epic of their plight against the evil sorceror Andross. A cargo cult formed around their legends, in which pray that this legendary team of mercenaries return in their time of need and restore lylat to it's former glory. This went so far as to having relics, ranging from a blaster, an arwing's wreck, and even wreckage believed to have come from the great fox, becoming sacred artifacts.

The Cornerian race is severely downgraded and lack the necessities to move to another system as all roder has gone and cornerian rule is in decline. Everyone flies in small or medium sized spacecraft that are either old ships or hobbled together from parts of other ships. The cornerian population is practically dwindling, the constant warring between individuals only worsens the decline. Hopelessness and fatalism, reign. If things continue the way they are, Cornerians will go extinct.

You would play as an unnamed protagonist (later revealed to be a descendant of Fox McCloud) prophesized by legend who would be fighting for survival while seeking a way to bring about peace and hope to rebuild Lylat and save the Cornerian race while at the same time embarking on a quest to rediscover his or her connection with the famous mercenary. But he won't be fighting along, the prophecy of Star Fox's return slowly falls into place as other members of your merry band of heroes, also prophesized by the legends, join him/her in this quest of salvation.

Basically Mad Max/Nausicaa and the valley of the wind/ LoZ: Breath of the wild, but in space

 

At the same time there have been legends of a mythical planet that had been banished into the otherworld by the dark sorceror Andross (that's what i reckon these post apocalypse folk would call him), The planet's name is Cerinia and it may hold the key in finding the identity of this particular protagonist as well as a way to restore lylat to it's former glory.

So what do you think? would you play a post apocalyptic star fox game?

I actually love the concept. I don't feel too hot about the mythical status that the StarFox team would receive because, well, they're mercenaries for crying out loud. 

In fact, I don't like the idea of any of the mythical treatment. I dunno why, it just doesn't seem right to me.

Aside from that, I do like the idea of playing as a protagonist other than Fox and the idea of a team forming that will essentially be StarFox 3.0.

As for Cerinia,  if it is added, it must be executed vvvvveeeeerrrrryyyy carefully, at least in my opinion, as to not let the fanbase or first time players down.

All in all, I would play it. Probably gloss over the mythology but would definitely play it.

well i gave them a mythical status because if you give a developing civilization enough time, truth blends into myth and it becomes an integral part of their culture, like other cultures in real life. And yes as time passes myth and fact blend to the point where it's hard to discern which is which. I'm also taking into consideration the way the Cornerian public adores star fox more than their own military to the point where they start coming up with tall tales about them. Heck they admire them to the point of exhibiting xenophobic tension on the last known cerinian survivor.

I'd play in a post apocalyptic setting, but I'd prefer it to be an extra part of a bigger game.

For example(and I may get some flak for using this specific example, but it holds true), the Black Ops games have a story mode and a multiplayer, which feel like normal Call of Duty stuff, but then they also have the post apocalyptic zombies mode.

I'd be interested in something like that in Star Fox, but not necessarily Zombies.

The thing about including Cerinia, though (other than the fact that Cerinia was destroyed), is the fact that it isn't in the Lylat system, and seems to have had very minimal contact with Corneria at best.

So I would play something like that, although maybe not the specific idea you put forth.

it's something along the lines of a cross between Mad Max, Nausicaa, and Atlantis but in space.

 

And this is set in zero's timeline where many people think cerinia was actually banished into another dimension like some space going atlantis
