History VideoGame / EiyuuSenkiTheWorldConquest

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Apart from the main character, there are only a handful of male characters who ever appear during the course of the story, all of which being [=NPCs=], and most are only mentioned in passing, while every other character, ranging from the playable heroines down to the common soldiers, are all female. It gets to ridiculous degrees when even the random monsters you fight all speak with distinctively feminine voices (well, those who speaks coherently, anyway), [[WorldOfActionGirls yet no male enemies can be found throughout the entire game]]. [[spoiler:Granted, this eventually gets explained in the story, but still...]]

* CriticalExistenceFailure: The Ancient Heroes, who remains perfectly combat capable and fight at their full strength even if they only have 1 remaining HP. Averted by the regular characters, whose strength scales with their current HP.

* ArtShift: A few of Lancelot and Palamedes' events suddenly treat the player to a more cartoony style of CG, instead of the usual computer-rendered artwork.

* BleachedUnderpants: The [=PS3=] and [=PSV=] ports removed all of the sex scenes from the original in order to be an all age game, however it's still rated M in the US.

* CombatExclusiveHealing: Various healing skills are available, but they can only be used in battle. Outside of battle, wounded characters must [[RestingRecovery rest and let their Troop Strength/HP recover naturally in between turns]]. The only two ways to speed up the process are to either equip items that accelerate healing, or spend money to heal instantly. (Neither option work on characters who have just participated in a battle, meaning you still have to wait an entire turn, and the latter is expensive, not to mention unavailable for the HP-based Ancient Heroes). This is particularly egregious as [[WhiteMage Himiko]] is [[GameplayAndStorySegregation constantly shown to be healing people with her power in the story, yet you can't use a healing skill in gameplay once the battle has ended.]]

** Oddly enough, the final boss [[spoiler: Nyarlathotep herself. She only has two skills: "Charge", which gives her 2 [[{{Mana}} Brave Orbs]], but has a charge-up time and can be easily interrupted, and [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos "Creeping Chaos"]], which is a terrifying OneHitKill attack [[LimitBreak costing 10 Brave Orbs]]. This setup makes her pretty much an "all or nothing" unit, meaning that she will either [[CurbStompBattle annihilates your party with ease]], or gets perpetually stuck with a unfilled [[ManaMeter Brave Meter]] and [[CycleOfHurting unable to fight back]] because your character with the ManaDrain skill is constantly sucking her dry.]]

* RuleSixtyThree: ''The Game''. Not counting the main character, everyone in this 70+ character roster is a gender flipped historical/mythological figure, with Himiko being the sole exception.

** Sir Bedivere can [[RocketPunch fire her rocket glove]] over a long distance. She even [[IncrediblyLamePun shouts out]] "[[Anime/ShinMazinger ROKETTO]] [[GratuitousEnglish PANCHI!"]] as it fires.

%%This page is for the all-ages [=PS3=] version. The original PC version's page was removed due to its sexual content. No explicit examples

Due to the success of the original version, a GOLD version was released in 2014 with more added heroines, revamp of many heroes' skills as well as a change of the storyline.

* LadyNotAppearingInThisGame: [[spoiler: Musashi Miyamoto]]. She's mentioned in conjunction with [[spoiler: Sasaki Kojiro]] and Chihaya even hopes she'll join the Zipang army, but she doesn't actually appear in the game at all. In the Gold Version, she finally made an appearance.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Apart from collecting bonus items for conquering one region ahead of another, most character interactions and conversations will adjust themselves accordingly as well.

** Sir Bedivere can [[RocketPunch fire her rocket glove]] over a long distance ForMassiveDamage. She even [[IncrediblyLamePun shouts out]] "[[Anime/ShinMazinger ROKETTO]] [[GratuitousEnglish PANCHI!"]] as it fires.

* ArtifactOfDoom: The Staff of Narayana.

* LadyNotAppearingInThisGame: [[spoiler: Musashi Miyamoto]]. She's mentioned in conjunction with [[spoiler: Sasaki Kojiro]] and Chihaya even hopes she'll join the Zipang army, but she doesn't actually appear in the game at all.

* AccidentalHero: The Zipang army indirectly saves Qin Shi Huang's life by spreading rumors that she is on her death bed, prompting Sun Tzu to rush back to the palace. She ends up breaking Qin Shi Huang's medicine bottle by mistake when she was about to take a larger dose than normal. Given said "medicine" was actually liquid mercury, that extra dose could have easily killed her.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Aside from many historical figures becoming women, numerous people and countries all exist together within the game world when, in reality, they were actually hundreds of years apart. [[spoiler:Nyarlathotep intentionally created it that way just for fun.]]
* ArtShift: A few of Lancelot and Palamedes' events suddenly treat the player to a more cartoony style of CG rather than the usual computer-rendered artwork.

* BleachedUnderpants: The [=PS3=] port removed all of the sex scenes from the original, but it's still rated M in the US.

* BookEnds: The game ends on the same hill where Chihaya first appeared.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: The Game. Every opposing hero will join Zipang's army at some point when defeated. Either right away or after their capitol city is taken.

** Every battle in Shambhala begins with a warning that the player cannot save the game until all of the battles in the layer are complete followed by, "Battle will begin after the following message." And the following message is, "Battle will begin after this message."

* LadyNotAppearingInThisGame: Musashi Miyamoto. She's mentioned in conjunction with Sasaki Kojiro and Chihaya even hopes she'll join the Zipang army, but she doesn't actually appear in the game at all.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The first time bandits attack if the player continually ends turns without doing anything, they mention that the Zipang army isn't using their action points and must be hoarding the funds they're earning between turns.

* [[PlanetOfHats Nation Of Hats]]: Everyone in Russia except for Ivan the Terrible is an enormous masochist, and the latter, naturally, takes the role of the sadist.

* PronounTrouble: While the general quality of the localization is pretty good across the board, sometimes the translation will forget that most characters in the game are female and refers to them as "him" in the dialogue. This is more forgivable for [=NPCs=] who are not voiced therefore ambiguous in gender, but much less so for the heroines who speaks and shows their character portraits during events.

!!This game provides examples of:

** PublicDomainCharacter: The Ancient Heroes consist of characters from various mythologies - Yamato Takeru from the Japanese mythology, Hercules from the Greek mythology, etc. The only except being Tai Gong Wang, who was a real person. They have of course, [[RuleSixtyThree also been gender-flipped]].

* CombatExclusiveHealing: Various healing skills are available, but they can only be used in battle. Outside of battle, wounded characters must [[RestingRecovery rest and let their Troop Strength/HP recover naturally in between turns]]. The only two ways to speed up the process are to either equip items that accelerate healing, or spend money to heal instantly. (Neither option work on characters who have just participated in a battle, meaning you still have to wait an entire turn, and the latter is expensive, not mention unavailable for the HP-based Ancient Heroes). This is particularly egregious as [[WhiteMage Himiko]] is [[GameplayAndStorySegregation constantly shown to be healing people with her power in the story, yet you can't use a healing skill in gameplay once the battle has ended.]]

** Nyarlathotep is obviously taken from [[Creator/HPLovecraft the Lovecraftian Mythology]], which becomes even more egregious once she transforms into her OneWingedAngel form.

* CombatExclusiveHealing: Various healing skills are available, but they can only be used in battles. Outside of battles, wounded characters must [[RestingRecovery rest and let their Troop Strength/HP recover naturally in between turns]]. The only two ways to speed up the process are to either equip items that accelerate healing, or spend money to heal instantly. (Neither options work on characters who have just participated in a battle, meaning you still have to wait an entire turn, and the latter is expensive and isn't available for the HP-based Ancient Heroes). This is particularly egregious as [[WhiteMage Himiko]] is [[GameplayAndStorySegregation constantly shown to be healing people with her power in the story, yet you can't use a healing skill in gameplay once the battle has ended.]]

* ShoutOut: Numerous references to VisualNovel/FateStayNight, which is not surprising since both games overlap in terms of the gender-flipped historical/mythological figures they feature.
** For starters, Queen Arthur fights more like a Caster from ''Fate'', but wields what looks like a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsabre]] that fires a SwordBeam. This move is named "Excalibur", much like the other Arthur's signature move.
** Joan, conversely, does not resemble her ''Fate'' counterpart much, but instead looks suspiciously similar to Saber, down to the hairstyle and dress. Possibly a nod to the instance in ''Fate/Zero'' where Gilles de Rais mistook the latter for Joan.

* SelfImposedChallenge: The game encourages them: Trophies for a winning battle with just Chihaya and winning a battle without taking any damage, rewards for conquering harder regions ahead of schedule, and numerous possibilities the player could come up with.

* ArtShift: A few of Lancelot and Palamedes' events suddenly treat the player to a more cartoony style of C rather than the usual computer-rendered artwork.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Apart from collecting bonus items for conquering one region ahead of another, but character interactions and conversations will adjust accordingly as well.

* [[PlanetOfHats Nation Of Hats]]: Everyone in Russia except for Ivan the Terrible is an enormous masochist.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: A few of the characters designed by different artists have conspicuously different art styles from the rest of the cast. The most obvious examples are Sasaki Kojiro and Michelangelo from the Vita version.

* RocketTagGameplay: The late game tends to turn into this as both sides up the ante with their attacks, resulting in character getting downed by just a couple of hits.

''Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest'' is a hybrid VisualNovel/StrategyRPG initially released on PC in 2013 and received a [=PS3=] and a [[=PS Vita=]] port, the former of which was localized for the United States in late 2015. It takes place in an alternate earth wherein every single one of the historical heroes represented throughout the story that was a man is now a woman. Himiko, the Queen of the Yamatai province in Zipang, has had a vision heralding TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and realized that the only way to face the oncoming darkness is to TakeOverTheWorld and unite the world's heroes behind her cause.

* OneManArmy: The ancient heroes are each regarded as one since they have actual HP meters instead of troop counts.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The people of Egypt- every single individual- declare war on Zipang in response to one of Tutankhamun's servants finding her passed out with Zipang's declaration in her hand and put up a ''massive'' resistance when invading them.
* RuleSixtyThree: ''The Game''. Not counting the main character, everyone in this 70+ character cast is a gender flipped historical/mythological figure, with Himiko being the sole exception.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: ''Over half of the character outfits.'' Unsurprising since this is originally an eroge. RuleOfSexy runs abound as characters don armor pieces with low-cut fronts and missing lower parts.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Many talented [=VAs=] lent their voice to this game under a different pseudonym. One of the most noticeable being [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Kaori]] [[Creator/KaoriMizuhashi Mizuhashi]], who voiced Achilles.

* MoodWhiplash: The goofy world conquest tour quickly turns dark once players encounter [[Evil Takeru]] and begin to uncover the truth behind the chaos, but most side missions remain light-hearted as ever.
