History VideoGame / VampireNight

** DishingOutDirt: Bathe'lemy, the Knight. His slashes are strong enough to create a shock wave that can move the earth. And in the final phase of the battle, he becomes a golem who can cut through stone pillars with relative ease.

* DreamLand: Where the second stage of the BossBattle against Raoul takes place.

** Doubles as MeaningfulName as "ignis" is Latin for "ignite".

* EvilOverlord: Count Auguste plays the trope straight as an arrow. Enormous Dark Powers? Check! Loyal vassals? Check! An evil looking BigFancyCastle? Check? Hordes of {{Mooks}} threatening the populations and corrupting the land? Bingo!

The game takes place in an alternate TimeTravel version of 2006 where everything looks like the 19th century. Two {{Dhampyr}}s named Light (or Michel) and Shadow (or Albert) are on a mission to kill the Vampire to end his reign of terror from a local village.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The heroes where created by the BigBad over three-hundred years ago.]]

* TagalongKid: Caroline, the little girl whom the heroes save at the beginning of the game.
* VampireMonarch: Count Auguste is a very powerful, centuries old vampire "living" in a BigFancyCastle and siring uber powerful vampires, each able to go OneWingedAngel.

* AlasPoorVillain: Diane and Raoul are the only villains played sympathically, with the former's genuine love for the BigBad and pretty sad death, and the latter DarkAndTroubledPast, who becomes human again and is the only villain to survive.

* BigBad: Count Auguste, the local VampireMonarch.

* CaptainErsatz: From the looks, the clothing, the SlouchOfVillainy, the LargeHam speech pattern, the gothing HauntedCastle, the OneWingedAngel demonic forms and the fighting style, pretty much every fibre of the BigBad screams Dracula from Franchise/{{Castlevania}}.

** It's implied that Auguste created Albert and Michel to end his existence as he was tired of his undead life.

** PlayingWithFire: Guillaume, the Genius. In his human form, he summons fireballs to distract the Vampire Hunters, and his true form has his body being engulfed in a flaming aura.
* EvilOverlord: Count Auguste plays it straight as an arrow.

* {{Homage}}: Raoul's design is reminiscent of a certain [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Balamb Garden student]].

** Auguste again, whose entire character screams {{Dracula}} from the classical movies, and especially from [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} another video game about vampire hunters...]]

* MindOverMatter: Raoul makes several things levitate during the BossBattle against him, for him to use as jumping ground.

* MoralityPet: Caroline, for both heroes.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Count Auguste spends the game in his castle, letting his forces do everything. Double subverted. Upon Raoul's defeat, he was about to stand up and face Albert and Michel alone, but was stopped by Diane, who reassured him that she'll deal with them.

-->'''Guillaume''': So...that's the way it is, is it? Me...defeated by humans? Never!

* DeathSeeker: It's implied that Auguste created Albert and Michel to end his existence as he was tired of his undead life. Bathe'lemy, who became a vampire, found no joy in being an immortal. This instead gave him an unquenchable thirst for death he had not known as a human.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Double subverted. Upon Raoul's defeat, Auguste was about to stand up and face Albert and Michel alone, but was stopped by Diane, who reassured him that she'll deal with them.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Diane initially rejected Caroline's plea for humans and vampires to co-exist. Upon defeat, however, she considered it a possibility right before her death.]]

-->'''Guillaume''': So...that's the way it is, is it? Me...defeated by humans? Never!

* BreathWeapon: The Votroche (Bathe'lemy's mooks) are specialists at this. They circle around you and spray toxic breath towards you when you're open.

* RingsOfDeath: The Cermitt (one of Raoul's mooks) wield a chakram [[DualWielding in each of their hands]].

* WasOnceAMan: The Hemavora (One of the mooks faced in Chapter 1) were originally humans, but became vampires after being infected by a vampire sarcoma.

* FiveBadBand:
** The BigBad: Count Auguste, the Vampire
** TheDragon / The DarkChick: Raoul (Dark Mind) and Diane (Ice Queen) alternate between these. While Raoul has quite versatile powers fit for a right-hand man, he is the only one who survive by being reverted into a human. Diane however serves as Auguste's real right-hand and lover.
** The EvilGenius: Guillaume, the Genius
** TheBrute: Bathe'lemy, the Knight
* FrenchJerk: Played straight with four of the FiveBadBand, but highly averted with some regular [=NPCs=] such as Caroline and the Shop Owner.

* {{Zeerust}}: While the game is set in the modern-day France, everything looks as though they were stuck in UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution period. This might have to do wuth BigBad's manipulating TimeTravel.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Vampire Hunters. Michel is the Red fueled by his hatred for vampires while Albert is the Blue capable of socializing. Justified by the crosshairs in the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]] port of the game.
