Fishy's project sounds like the Gauntlet-esque game I'd like. Gauntlet but with end of level bosses and more immersive character interactions and building co-op strategy.
I like the idea of magic-user spell combos, up,up,left,right = maga-fireball or something.
Levitation/teleportation spells to jump walls. Casting enhancement spells on other player characters.
Fighters could have attack/critical hit combos too: like the decapitation move in barbarian.
Backstab attack for thief.
