What is this blasted experiment that stole away that non-extant combat-centric Bastion and Transistor follow-up, then? It's sui generis sports á la ancient rite, baby! We've got a ball to grab, symmetrical courts you'll tour the land to play at, fire baskets to dunk or throw said ball into, players of defense and offense to eventually retire one by one in liberation rites, a mix of penalties and tackling in elimination of players from the court using offensive powers, league tables with playoffs for the final liberation match, little imp fans to impress, self-inflicted handicaps by the gods, and all the emotional turmoil of personal face-offs in friends, siblings and species you could desire. At least the involvement of the ancients probably cuts on costs somewhat. If the stakes were liberation from the underworld in a deity-deigned ancient rite, however, I might flip the channel from time to time. I think they're over-funded in the name of youth exercise, inherently repetitive and, for the most part, have rotten cultures.
