History VideoGame / GridWarrior

''Grid Warrior'' is an upcoming game by Tropers/{{Ironcommando}} and his two friends, as another GaidenGame to ''{{Metaspace}}''.

** Drillium's a SandWorm whose weak spot is its tail, similar to the Moldorm bosses from ''TheLegendOfZelda''.

* XMeetsY: Kirby meets VideoGame/MegaMan meets TheLegendOfZelda. Or at least that's what Tropers/{{Ironcommando}}'s classmates have called it.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Stealth Sharks, Water/Corruptive enemies with stealth, a wide-area SpreadShot, and a [[StandardStatusEffects virus-inflicting bite]].
* FireIceLightning: There's a rare enemy that uses all three. First it starts out with fast homing ice missiles to slow you down. This makes it easier for it to target and stun you with a lock-on lightning attack. And when you're still stunned, it shoots damaging, homing fire missiles at you!

** The shark enemies being Water/Dark elemental could be one to [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Sharpedo]].

!!'''This upcoming game provides the following examples:'''

* CoolPlane: Air Raid and North Wind. Also doubles as RedOniBlueOni.

* AdaptiveAbility: In Endless mode, the Grid creatures start becoming stronger and develop ways to counter your weapons as the game progresses. Eventually, you will be overwhelmed by them.

** Also doubles as InvinciblMinorMinion- they're the only enemies that can't be damaged in any way, aside from being grabbed.

* EndlessGame: The endless mode.

** DualBoss: The twin submarines miniboss.

** RushBoss: Serial, who has low health, but is fast, can do heavy damage in short time and has the ability to poison you. The Apostles each have the lowest health for bosses and can be instantly killed by being pushed out, but their laser cannon attack can down you in ''at most'' three hits.

** [[SerialKiller Serial]]: Attempts to attack you from behind and slit your head off, which is a OneHitKill if it connects. You can avoid this by... shining a light at him, which forces him to back off.

*** Enemies that specialize in this: Black Blade, Bandit, Shadow, Silent Knight, Serial.

** [[spoiler: Holy > Darkness (Serial is WeakenedByTheLight as well as slowed by it, the Judgement Beam will rip off a massive chunk of his low health)]]

** For bosses, [[ShockAndAwe Raivolt]] and [[AnIcePerson Crystaleyes]]. Raivolt has one of the lowest amounts of health, but he's fast and loves to dodge a lot. Crystaleyes's main section has even lower health, but it flies all over the screen spaming missiles and ice beams, while [[WrapAround wrapping around]] the battlefield.

** [[CastingAShadow Serial's]] a serial killer, and true to his name, can murder you in one hit if you're not careful.

** RushBoss: Serial, who has low health, but is fast, can do heavy damage in short time and has the ability to poison you.

** SpinAttack: Starfish and Snowflak enemies do this on you.

* DesperationAttack:

** You have to fight the eight bosses again in a BossRush during the endgame, not unlike most of the ''MegaMan'' series.

** The Jellyfish enemies are based off the Jellyfish Virus from ''MegaManBattleNetwork''.
** [[ShockAndAwe Raivolt's]] weakness to ice and freezing could be one to Spark Mandrill from ''MegaManX''.

* PunnyName: Silent Knight, Holy Knight... [[IncrediblyLaePun Groan]]...

** [[spoiler: Fire > Ice (Splash damage kills Crystaleyes easily)]]

* KungFuProofMook: Wind-elemental units produce a tornado that sucks in and destroys all your missile/rocket weapons.

* NotSoHarmless: Satellights are weak AirborneMooks who sport a slowing light as their only "attack", and are more of a nuisance than anything... Until you reach level 10, then they get the ability to fire a deadly WaveMotionGun.
