-> An RPG Maker MV game by @/{{Wax}}, in DevelopmentHell.
-> In a lab hidden in the Topland Harbor, [[SuperSoldier Sidney]] is created by Austin. On instinct, she goes out and picks fights. She saves Cassidy, CEO of Topland's biggest MegaCorp, from the grasp of the Church of Light, and dedicates herself to fighting them more.
!Tropes associated with the game:
* BossBonanza: Kevin's EliteFour force one on you at the end of the game.
* BrokenBridge: Clear pillars, until you do get Clear.
* TheCameo: A lot. Some are from MV's package characters, some are from @/{{Wax}}'s other games that didn't make it past development.
* CerebusCallback: Unlike most characters from ''DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection'', Athor doesn't make a cameo. Instead, his tombstone is seen at the Foreigners' Castle Throne Room.
* ContinuityNod: To ''DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection''. The Church of Light is Kevin's new (and last) attempt to grab at godhood after getting his ass kicked in ''DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection''.
** CreatorCameo: Description-only, as [[AuthorAvatar Max]] is only talked about in passing mentions.
* CriticalHit: They don't only deal double damage, but tack on extra defense-ignoring damage based on the Luck stat.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The main characters, by comparison to ''DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection'' and the SpinOff ''The W-Team in Patina Castle''. Sidney is a SuperSoldier who is borderline MadeOfEvil and Austin is a hostile youth bent on revenge.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The main characters all get called evil, but aren't quite as evil as branded.
* EasingIntoTheAdventure: The roadblocks in the Topland Harbor shoehorn you into a fixed path that leads from fighting [[TheRival Rock]] to leaving the Harbor, including saving Cassidy and learning your first Map Skill courtesy of [[TheCameo Eisele]].
* ExponentialPotential: Defied: Each character has eight skills, plus passives.
* FighterMageThief: Sidney and Austin are fighters, Edna and Uriah are mages, and Cassidy and Lex, despite being gun users, have mechanics reminiscent of thieves. Lucion fills the role of a healer, Marie, much less so.
* InsurmountableWaistHighFence: Averted with ''Clear'' pillars, as they're over ''Jump'' height.
** Enforced however for the side of the mall building, where you can't jump over a barrier that isn't even waist-high, for the sake of averting TrespassingHero.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Every character have one, and all must be obtained in pretty painful ways, especially the T.O.P. Landowner Mk.III, which requires you to fund research towards it.
* ItemCrafting: The Map Skill ''Synthesis''.
* JustForPun: The names of the three [[ArcVillain villainous leaders]] are '''K'''ennedy, '''K'''ing and '''K'''evin for AddedAlliterativeAppeal.
* LastDiscMagic: The Ultimate passives, and everyone's last natural skill.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The main characters have a specific theme music by pairs. Some other characters have specific battle themes too, such as [[BonusBoss some bonus bosses]].
* LightIsNotGood: The Church of Light, since they're a cult devoted to [[AGodAmI Kevin]].
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Averted: they all share the same number of skills, and the stat scaling favors Cassidy and Lex, none of them warriors or wizards.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: One of Uriah's spells is mentioned to create an electric link between the target's brain and that of the rest of their team. Noone dies as a result of this skill which would normally fry the targets' brains.
* MagikarpPower: Cassidy. She starts out weak, but by end-game she becomes extremely fast '''and''' damaging.
* MassOhCrap: [[spoiler:Rock causes one on the Church of Light when he appears to blindside and kill Kevin. It forces Rawpower to cameo and regroup the Church of Light's remaining forces.]]
* TheMaze: Lost Forest is a small one, and the only one in the game.
* MegaCorp: [[FunWithAcronyms T.O.P.]] It's not known what the letters stand for.
* NPCRoadblock: Used to force boss fights, notably the first encounter with the Church of Light and Cassidy's rescue. Since you can't ''Jump'' over them, they are used more frequently than other roadblocks, especially after you can ''Clear'' pillars of light.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Inverted by the end bosses, none other than Fae, Vanessa and Kevin from DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection.
** Played straight, however, by their EliteFour's leader [[NonIndicativeName Raw]][[TheStrategist power]].
* NominalImportance: Double-subverted with King and Queen: King and Queen are actually their names.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Church of Light comes from another world, which causes Edna, Lucion and Uriah to be this by proxy.
* PartyInMyPocket
* PocketDimension: The four Star Chambers.
* PointOfNoReturn: Not implemented yet, but Judgement Tower becomes this, as the door closes after you enter.
* RPGsEqualCombat: Justified as Sidney can't help but pick fights where she sees them, and additionally where she doesn't.
* RescueArc: You rescue most of your party members.
** Sidney and Austin rescue Cassidy from the Church of Light.
** They also help Edna escape the Church of Light's hideout in the Party District.
** Lucion is the only one to avert this, as he turns coat on his {{Mook}}s when they betray him for using a BadassBoast.
** Lex is rescued from captivity in Old Topland.
** Uriah is unsealed from inside Goldburgh Mansion.
* SkillSlotSystem: The passives granted by the ''Support'' Map Skill.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Averted. The only sliding section is at Judgement Road, the penultimate dungeon.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Inverted: The earliest villain to appear is Rock, who is also [[spoiler:DragonAscendant to Kennedy and second-to-last major villain]]. The second enemies are the Church of Light, [[spoiler:directed by [[FinalBoss Kevin]]]].
* ThrivingGhostTown: The towns are much smaller than they should be.
* TookAShortcut: Rock and the Church of Light usually show up this way, except they're the ones setting up the obstacles.
* TrespassingHero: Defied to the point that the back door of the Shop at Topland's shopping district cannot be accessed and even the otherwise clear and easily accessible (by ''Jump'') space is classified as unwalkable terrain.
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: Judgement Tower, mostly identified by its name and how hidden it is.
* VideoGameGeography: You don't get enough leeway to actually skirt the edges of the map, even though it is true.
* WarpWhistle: The ''Teleport'' Map Skill can [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin teleport]] you in a set of locations.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Completely averted with all main characters but Uriah (white) and Edna (dark blue). The cameos have a lot of straight examples.

* MegaManning: It's mentioned that she learned her ultimate skills from watching [[AuthorAvatar Max]], referencing DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Marie has this going on, remembering the events of DarthWiki/MaxsRecollection and a would-be sequel.

* SpinToDeflectStuff: ''Fallen Storm Dance'' is portrayed as such with its tornado icon and guaranteed dodge on all physical attacks it grants her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rock and Kennedy]]

* BigBadWannabe: He tries to TakeOverTheWorld, but he is killed in Topland.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Church of Light]]
!!!Sunray
* EarlyBirdCameo: His appearance in the game counts as this, since you're not seeing him again until Judgement Tower.
* FlunkyBoss: Sunray subverts it. He just sends out his two minions to do the fighting for him, and leaves when they lose.
!!!Dharma
* CatchPhrase: "I'm so nice."
* DeusExMachina: Made one to create Goldburgh Mansion, which somehow doesn't come up in Kennedy's archives (according to Austin) despite supposedly being there since over 5000 years.
* FailedASpotCheck: She fails to recognize when she is using her disguise.
* RecurringBoss: She is seen far more often than Nathea, Sunray and Rawpower.
!!!Nathea
* NonStandardGameOver: Causes one by catching you.
* ReplacementGoldfish / SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[spoiler:She is Kevin's replacement for Marie. The big differences between them are that Nathea is an EvilRedhead instead of being blonde, and she's [[QuirkyMinibossSquad lower on the hierarchy scale]] than Marie [[TheDragon used to be]].]]

!!!Jack
* EliteMook: To King and Queen.
* TheUnfought: You fight him once, even though you see him [[NPCRoadblock blocking roads]] for long.
!!!Knave
* ItsAllAboutMe: She's set off by insults to herself only, only respects those stronger than herself, and plots for her own gain. She even betrays King and Queen in T.O.P. when she sees that the Church of Light and Kennedy are just as capable.
!!!Queen
* AxCrazy
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Jumps off her castle in a manner similar to ''The W-Team in Patina Castle''. She survives, and before long she's at the top of Topland.
!!!King
* AffablyEvil: By contrast to Queen and the rest of the villains, he's a stoic person who tries to be as pragmatic as possible.
* BigBadWannabe: He just doesn't have the presence to succeed.
* OneSceneWonder
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Until Queen is driven off her castle again.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Others]]

* TheCameo: Only appears in the game to teach you ''Jump''.
!!!Hayatemaru
* {{Invisibility}}: He's a master of ''Stealth'', which he teaches (and leaves with).
* {{Ninja}}
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Sidney understands him just fine. His speech is written in parentheses to evocate this.
!!!Yaichi
* FlashStep: Dashes out extremely fast after teaching you ''Clear''.
!!!Gustaf
* LargeHam
* ShoutOut: He references Terry Crews' Old Spice ads (and goes out exploding), and accompanies his AntiquatedLinguistics with "layeth the smacketh down".
* SuperStrength: He teaches ''Strength''.
!!!Dilara
* ItemCrafting: Her specialty and what she teaches.
!!!Aldo
* {{Troll}}: Looks like one at his first line, when he's saying the team doesn't look like they're doing too well. He drops the act quickly though.
!!!Nina
* TheCameo: Only appears to teach you ''Teleport''.
* WarpWhistle: She demonstrates ''Teleport'' by using it right before your eyes after teaching you.
!!!Rob
* ShoutOut: Goes out with "ZA WARUDO!"

* FlunkyBoss: Sunray subverts it. He just sends out his two minions to do the fighting for him, and leaves when they lose.
!!!Dharma
* CatchPhrase: "I'm so nice."
* DeusExMachina: Made one to create Goldburgh Mansion, which somehow doesn't come up in Kennedy's archives (according to Austin) despite supposedly being there since over 5000 years.
* FailedASpotCheck: She fails to recognize when she is using her disguise.
* RecurringBoss: She is seen far more often than Nathea, Sunray and Rawpower.
!!!Nathea
* NonStandardGameOver: Causes one by catching you.
* ReplacementGoldfish / SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[spoiler:She is Kevin's replacement for Marie. The big differences between them are that Nathea is an EvilRedhead instead of being blonde, and she's [[QuirkyMinibossSquad lower on the hierarchy scale]] than Marie [[TheDragon used to be]].]]
!!!Fae
* OlderThanTheyLook: Fae still looks 10, but she rejected Uriah "thousands of years ago".
!!!Vanessa
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: She thinks of herself as absolutely right.
* LightIsNotGood: She claims to be all-loving but wants to end all fighting by subjugating everyone.
!!!Kevin
* BigBadWannabe: He succeeds in being the final BigBad, but still loses.
* FinalBoss
* MadGod: He even reprises his gimmick of spinning around when in line for the final battle.

[[folder:New Topland Kingdom]]
!!!Jack
* EliteMook: To King and Queen.
* TheUnfought: You fight him once, even though you see him [[NPCRoadblock blocking roads]] for long.
!!!Knave
* ItsAllAboutMe: She's set off by insults to herself only, only respects those stronger than herself, and plots for her own gain. She even betrays King and Queen in T.O.P. when she sees that the Church of Light and Kennedy are just as capable.
!!!Queen
* AxCrazy
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Jumps off her castle in a manner similar to ''The W-Team in Patina Castle''. She survives, and before long she's at the top of Topland.
!!!King
* AffablyEvil: By contrast to Queen and the rest of the villains, he's a stoic person who tries to be as pragmatic as possible.
* BigBadWannabe: He just doesn't have the presence to succeed.
* OneSceneWonder
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Until Queen is driven off her castle again.
