History VideoGame / EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest

* BigApplesauce

* CursedWithAwesome: Despite being, you know, a restraining bolt, the headband does offer a great deal of utility to Monkey, allowing him a HUD, communicator, and AugmentedReality in general.

The main character of the game, [[IWorkAlone Monkey]], is a lone wolf who's spent his entire life running from the machines. Eventually, Monkey is captured by the death machines, where he is placed on an [[CoolAirship airship]] for transport to the city of Pyramid. It is there that he meets a technologically adept woman named [[WrenchWench Trip]]. Trip manages to escape, freeing Monkey in the process, who goes after her in an effort to get to an escape pod. He ends up trying to hijack hers, and is knocked unconscious in the landing. When he comes to, Monkey finds that Trip has placed a [[RestrainingBolt slaver's headband]] on him in order to compel him to help her get home. She explains that she has hacked the headband so she can give him jolts of pain at will; and further that if Trip's heart ever stops then the headband will kill Monkey outright. As they try to make their way back to Trip's village they must fight robots that have been lying dormant for years. The two of them have a strained relationship but in order to survive this perilous world they need each other's help.

* SupportingProtagonist: Monkey....the entire story really revolves around Trip.

The storyline is loosely based on the ancient Chinese novel ''{{Journey to the West}}''.

* Badass: Monkey extremely, taking on legions of killer mechs and even mechs the size of skyscrapers.

* AcroFatic: Pigsy; never has a fat man been so agile, although the grappling gun probably helps.

* BadAss: Monkey extremely, taking on legions of killer mechs and even mechs the size of skyscrapers.

** Monkey is supposed to be Sun Wukong.
** Trip is supposed to be Xuanzang (also known as Tripitaka).
** Pigsy is supposed to be Zhu Bajie.
** [[spoiler: Leviathan]] is possibly Sha Wujing, due to his links with water and sand, (key features of the levels featuring [[spoiler: Leviathan]] - an [[spoiler: underwater base]] and a [[spoiler: giant desert]]). It could also be a reference to the Dragon Prince / Horse.

* TedBaxter: Pigsy sure doesn't stop reminding everyone how great he is. This is much to Monkey's annoyance.
-->'''Monkey''': Pigsy, if you don't shut up I'm switching sides!

* HeyItsThatVoice: The main characters are [[{{Film/TheLordOfTheRings}} Gollum]] and-wait, ''[[NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide Moze]]''? ([[YourMileageMayVary However]], Monkey sounds nothing like Gollum. Andy Serkis is a pretty versatile voice actor.)

* BabyGotBack: Trip
** Monkey as well. You don't get that fit and toned (and wear pants that tight) without giving the female a run for her money.
*** Which sort of qualifies him for [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} Butt Monkey]] status.

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Monkey. And ''how''. A tall, gruff savage with six-pack abs, decorative scars, warpaint and acrobatic skills topped off with pretty blue eyes. Sign me up.

* CoveredWithScars: Monkey, of the decorative and generic kind. Although not explained in-game, Nina Kristenson of Ninja Theory elaborates that the swirling designs on his torso [[{{Every Scar Has A Story}} are war scars he drew on himself after major battles.]] Considering the sheer amount he has, your mileage may vary as to [[{{Badass}} whether]] [[{{Sexy Back}} that's]] [[{{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} awesome]] [[{{Ax Crazy}} or]] [[{{Iron Woobie}} not.]]

--> '''Monkey''': "You mean like me?"
--> '''Trip''': "As well as strong and resourceful individuals."
--> '''Monkey''': "Sure."

* MissFanservice: Trip.

** Monkey is suppose to be Sun Wukong
** Trip is supposed to be Xuanzang (also known as Tripitaka)
** Pigsy is supposed to be Zhu Bajie
** [[spoiler: Leviathan]] is the Horse. [[spoiler: Remember, after all, that in the source material, the horse was actually dragon who transformed into a horse. An a leviathan is, sorta, a dragon-ish creature.]]
** Now where the hell is Sha Wujing?
*** Maybe they're saving for the sequel?
*** Actually, [[spoiler: Leviathan]] could very well ''be'' Sha Wujing. Sha Wujing is chiefly identified with water and sand, and the two main levels featuring [[spoiler: Leviathan]] are an [[spoiler: underwater base]] and a [[spoiler: giant desert]]. I took the Horse/Dragon to be the, well, ''Dragon''fly, not only because of the name, but because the order of the characters' appearances in ''Enslaved'' matches the order in ''Journey to the West''.

* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Xuanzang was probably not an attractive red head WrenchWench. Or female. Having said that, though, not female, the original novel stressed that Xuanzang was a very [[{{Bishonen}} attractive young man]] - to the extent that in plays of the novel, the role of Xuanzang is often PLAYED by a woman.

* InspiredBy: The novel JourneyToTheWest which in turn is InspiredBy the historical journey of Xuanzang to India

* HeyItsThatVoice: The main characters are [[{{Film/TheLordOfTheRings}} Gollum]] and-wait, ''[[NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide Moze]]''?
** Except Monkey sounds nothing like Gollum. Andy Serkis is a pretty versatile voice actor.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Xuanzang was probably not an attractive red head WrenchWench. Or female.
** Though not female the original novel stressed that Xuanzang was a very attractive young man.
*** And in such an [[{{Bishonen}} effeminate] way that in plays of the novel, the role of Xuanzang is often PLAYED by a woman.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: More like downgrade since the original character was not as sociopathic as Monkey.
** You're kidding, right? Go look up the massive list of pranks, bullying, trolling and generally socially unacceptable things Sun Wukong pulled on the Gods purely for the hell of it. There's a reason why they asked Buddha to deal with him on their behalf - he trolled them into near-insanity and they could do nothing to stop him. Monkey is well-adjusted and mild-mannered in comparison.
*** The Monkey in ''Enslaved'', while certainly a tough guy, isn't [[BeyondtheImpossible immortal a thousand times over]], with the strength to [[BoisterousBruiser single-handedly fight - and defeat - the combined armies of Heaven]], so it could be more a case of [[AdaptationDecay Adaptation Decay]]. Or it's just a [[DramaPreservingHandicap Drama Preserving Handicap]] on the ''player character'' to give the [[MechaMooks Mecha-Mooks]] you fight the slightest chance of success. Seriously, the [[JourneytotheWest old Monkey]] would rip those Dogs apart.

* HairDecorations: After reprogramming the robotic dragonfly, Trip usually wears it in her hair where it looks like feathers.
