History VideoGame / EscapeDungeon

* ClothingDamage: The lower a protagonist's health drops, the more ragged her clothing. Protagonists on the brink of defeat are completely nude, and in most cases, even if they recover their hitpoints, the clothing does not regenerate (though sometimes a chest will contain a change of clothes)).

* TacticalWithdrawal: [[spoiler:Upon learning that Qaron [[spoiler:has ResurrectiveImmortality]], Shunral recognizes that the situation has gone '''way''' above her pay grade and decides instead to BringNewsBack to the Resistance. She still fully intends to kill him, but she needs to make that possible first.]]

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Shunral overhears several conversations between goblins, [[RatMen rats]], etc., which are just as puerile and cruel as you would expect.
** It's subverted with the orcs (who Shunral thought might choose to fight for good) and the mummies (who aren't in control of their actions). Which is not to say they're ''sympathetic'', given how openly evil their chosen master is.
* AmazonBrigade: The protagonists are powerful women, including CourtMage Shalith and dreaded assassin Shunral. All of them are capable of killing dozens of {{mooks}}.

* BishonenLine: [[spoiler:For someone who is the BigBad, Qaron is quite the {{Hunk}}.]] [[spoiler:Gets inverted in the second game, where Qaron is a hulking giant who progressively looks more and more monstrous every time he dies.]]

* DontGoInTheWoods: The Misty Forest, where demonkind first originated and the third game is set. It rapidly proves itself to be as dangerous as typical in a hentai setting.
* DoWellButNotPerfect: Unlocking the Qaron Escape scene in the second game is arguably harder than the Beast Qaron Escape scene as it requires killing Qaron no more than five times (two of which are mandatory) over ten floors and it's easier and more consistent to set up a build that can quickly burst Qaron down in a turn or two than it is to set one up that can stall him and knock him back without killing him while still defeating the other various threats and make an escape without just killing him on each floor.

* GroundhogDayLoop: How the games' heroines [[JustifiedTrope justify]] coming back from [[GirlsBehindBars their]] [[PrisonRape defeats]], being a power of Queen Illy. See SexMagic for more details.

* ResurrectiveImmortality: In the first game, Shalith has to kill Qaron in order to escape. Not only is he back none the worse for the wear in the second game when Shunral infiltrates the Demon City to assassinate him, but once she does, he gets back up as Shunral is leaving the floor and pursues her for the next ten floors even if he is killed every time, with killing him one more time being mandatory to escape the final floor. If he's killed at least five times, he becomes Beast Qaron, losing his pretty {{Bishonen}} appearance and much of his mental faculties in favor of raw bulk and strength.

* SkewedPriorities: During the true ending of the second game, a group of rats who know they're no match for Shunral start talking about how they're really more about money than loyalty to Qaron and seem like they're going to be willing to change sides, possibly for money. Shunral gives them a minute to explain themselves and they start going on about how much money Shunral (and the rats) could make if she sold her body. Disgusted at them and disappeared in herself for thinking it might go differently, Shunral puts the rats down and gets back to putting distance between herself and Beast Qaron.
* TacticalWithdrawal: Upon learning that Qaron [[spoiler:has ResurrectiveImmortality]], Shunral recognizes that the situation has gone '''way''' above her pay grade and decides instead to BringNewsBack to the Resistance. She still fully intends to kill him, but she needs to make that possible first.

* ClothingDamage: The lower a protagonist's health is, the more ragged her clothing. Protagonists on the brink of death are completely nude, not that the player will have much time to enjoy that.

* LockedInTheDungeon: What Shalith finds herself in for the first game; [[GreatEscape subverting this is her objective and the point of the series' title.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: The elf Illy married the human Raleven, knowing he would die long before her. Even Shunral, who admires her greatly, wonders what she was thinking.

* ProudMerchantRace: The [[RatMen talking bipedal rats]].

* TheMagnificent: Parodied. Shunral (the Silver Wolf) knows that the first part of her epithet is because of her hair colour. She doesn't know [[RuleOfCool why they added the "Wolf" part]].

* CastFromSanity: [[spoiler:As discovered in ''2'', Qaron's ResurrectiveImmortality takes a toll on his mind that Shunral's repeated kills turn him into a hulking AxCrazy berserker lusting after the elf.]]
* ClothingDamage: In gameplay, the heroines of both games get their clothing torn from attacks until they're rags depending on the amount of health they have.

* LaughablyEvil: A lot of the minions you find are ChaoticStupid as much as they AlwaysChaoticEvil, goblins and cyclops being the stand-outs.

* PointBuildSystem: In all games, you are given a currency to collect (Crystals for Shalith, Memory Fragments for Shunral) that stays with you even after a failed run. This is used to upgrade your characters' stats--and unlock new skills in ''2'''s case--making you stronger for the deeper parts of the dungeon you might (and likely expected to) have failed previously.

* RunOrDie: In the first game, archer enemies ''cannot'' be killed unless Shalith possesses long-range magic scrolls or can back them into a corner. The only thing keeping them from making the game unwinnable is their lack of aggro- a sufficiently healthy Shalith can run past them, taking their hits, if she needs to.

* BishonenLine: [[spoiler:For someone who is the BigBad, Qaron is quite the {{Hunk}}.]] [[spoiler:Gets inverted in the second game, where Qaron is a giant in armor who progressively looks more and more monstrous every time he dies.]]
* BittersweetEnding: In ''2''. [[spoiler:Shunral has escaped, killing over a hundred soldiers on her way out, and discovered information vital to ending the war. But she's in for a long, grueling search for Iily, wasn't able to kill Qaron, and there's a non-zero chance he's following her right to LaResistance's hideout.]]

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Shalith's imprisoners did not confiscate her MagicStaff, or notice that the cell she was locked in had an escape tunnel dug by a previous inhabitant. Somewhat justified in that the goblin species is canonically ''very'' stupid, and the prison they were guarding nullified that staff's magic.

''Escape Dungeon'' is a series of {{Hentai}} roguelites by Hide Games, the first of which was released in 2020. Its plot follows the fall of Sundista, a kingdom with a statistically improbable amount of young, attractive women. As the demon lord Qaron enjoys the fruits of his conquest, LaResistance fights against his army of monsters, losing [[SexSlave in the fashion you might expect]].

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The protagonists overhear several conversations between goblins, [[RatMen rats]], etc., which are just as puerile and cruel as you would expect.

* KleptomaniacHero: Shalith's [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration automatic pickup]] of anything she finds is justified (one, she's a prisoner who needs every advantage she can get, and two, the enemies' loot is entirely ill-gained), but she's unnervingly gleeful about it given her grim situation.

* SexMagic: Queen Iily possesses magic that lets her reverse time whenever she gets an orgasm. This power was vital to the war effort, so the untimely death of her husband, Raleven, caused quite a bit of trouble.

* AmazonBrigade: The protagonists are powerful women, including CourtMage Shalith and dreaded assassin Shumiral. All of them are capable of killing dozens of {{mooks}}.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Qaron's origins and species are a mystery, although ''Escape Dungeon 2'' [[spoiler:depicts him with the purple skin, pale hair, and pointy ears of a dark elf]].

* HitmanWithAHeart: Shumiral assassinates exclusively [[AlwaysChaoticEvil evil]] targets, of which there are ''a lot'' in the setting. Her personality is very [[SmitingEvilFeelsGood preoccupied with killing]] as a result, but firmly heroic.
