History VideoGame / Deepwoken

** The Mudwoken event had a horde of Mudskippers take over Deepwoken and its companion Discord server, turning all players and most [=NPCs=] into Mudskippers.

* BadLuckMitigationMechanic: Aces are able to Freeze valuable Talent Cards if your build relies on certain cards that are useful but have two on them in the same hand, increasing the chance that card will appear in a later hand, and also Burning unnecessary Talent Cards ensuring that they will never appear in any hand again unless you brought them back through the Shrine of Conceit.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Infamous Baz was created solely to invoke this trope.
--> '''baz''': "The lore is a straight line and Infamous Baz is a bump."

** Using the Moonseye Tome in the Voidsea produces a unique mural that can only be found through this interaction.

--> '''Description of The 72 Seasons''': ''Music permeates the halls of this inn between space and time.''

* Golem: Both Duke Erisia and the Hive employ these creations in large, almost excessive, amounts.

''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/4111023553/Deepwoken-Verse-2 Deepwoken]]'' is an ActionRPG {{Roguelike}} made in ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' by Vows by the Sea, a subdivision of Monad Studios.

* PlanetHeck: The third layer of the Depths is said to be this.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Canor were this before their eventual "domestication" at the hands of the Adret.
* RandomLootExchanger:
** Jeremiah takes Deep Gems in exchange for a chest of random items.
** The Golden Bouncer takes five Golden Plates in exchange for a chest of random items.
** Three NPCs around the world take 350 Notes in exchange for......... a chest of random items.
* RisingWaterRisingTension: Happening to the entire world. Slowly but surely, all falls into the Depths.

* Permadeath: Once you die in the Depths, it's completely over for you. You're sent to the Fragments of Self and have to make a new character.

* PortalNetwok: Using Stardust, Linkstriders can teleport between various meteors.

* AnimeHair: The coloring of the hair one can wear is already strange, but the sheer amount of possible hairstyles, as they are all taken from the Roblox catalogue, can pretty much include anything, even Yakult bottles that cover the entire body, Moai statues that do the same and the head of [[/Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Frederick von Fazbearington]] are on the table if you can find someone who uploaded it.

* AntiHoarding: Their is a cap on the amount of weight a player can carry. Most equipment pieces have at least two weight, so around 100 can be carried

* BackStab: It's possible to sneak up on humanoid enemies and assassinate them, ragdolling them in the process. Certain talents increase the assassination damage and distance which you can assassinate them, but doing this on players will only deal miniscule damage but leaves them open to combos.

* BraggingRightsReward: The Dawnwalker Oath is the most powerful Oath in the game, with the only requirements that you need 30 Kyrsan Medallions to access it and 60 more to get the rest of the Mantras and Talents. However, the only reliable ways to get them is to go down to New Kyrsa and defeat the boss and escape without dying, meaning by the time you get out assuming you have the required amount of Kyrsan Medallions, you've pretty much cleared the entire game as of March 01, 2023, and the only reason to progress this Oath is to use it in Chime of Conflict or PVP.

* DiscOneNuke: Fishing can rarely get you some valuable loot, but most dammingly, you can get some Master Outfit Schematics before you're supposed to even have them or even a high-end weapon such as the Hero Blades. The only restricting factor is that you still need to grind your stats to even equip them.

* GunsAreWorthless: While they can and are used as a powerful weapon, they can't mow down large hordes with efficiency and most people can take several shots to the stomach before falling down, and even then they can recover relatively quickly given the time. Lampshaded by the guns being reverse engineered from lost old blueprints, thus being far from their original efficient design, to the point of bullets being square cubes.

** While anything goes in PVP, in PVE, Heavy Weapons is by far the best stat. This is because Heavy Weapons have massive DPS output which is incredibly useful for dealing with monsters, since almost all of the fights involving them devolve into attacking before they kill you.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The databank of Mantras the NPCs use are seemingly separate from those used by the players. As a result, with a few exceptions, all of them use them as they were when first implemented into the game, ignoring any balance changes, reworks or adjustments to them that made them fair.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Aside from every NPC hunting you doing from a faction if you have low reputation with them, they'll also deny you services in their controlled areas and offer bounties for them, meaning that unless you're skilled at PVP, you will likely get ganked by other players and as such, it is heavily advised to raise your reputation with them to prevent such situations.

* WhamShot: In New Kyrsa, you can find [=NPCs=] who are stuck in there. However, going around a certain area will cause players, especially the ones that started with an Castaway Origin, to be quite shocked — [[spoiler:they can find Orlandeau who is surprisingly intact and alive!]]

* AnachronismStew: A world that has yet to devise firearms more efficient than matchlock rifles using square bullets or fully harness the potential of electricity despite having people who can generate and manipulate it at will have somehow built reactors and [[Franchise/Gundam bionic Gundams]].

** You automatically regain a life in the overworld when your Power increases, unlike Monad Studios' previous game ''Rogue Lineage''.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Much like ''Rogue Lineage'', resetting doesn't kill your character, it merely respawns you at your boat, Guild Base or the inn you stayed at. This is important when you get stuck in a place.

* MythologyGag: There are few references to Monad Studios' previous game ''Rogue Lineage'':

* NintendoHard: While easier compared to ''Rogue Lineage'', make no mistake- it still retains the brutal difficulty curve, and wiping is still a present threat throughout the game.
