History Videogame / AvalonCode

* BroughtDownToNormal: After becoming the town hero through the power of the Book, your character is rudely brought down to normal after [[spoiler: the Book is stolen]], and must learn how to fistfight.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Sylphy, an elf girl who firmly believes that humans are worthless... until you start to get on her good side. The male version is Anwar, who's supposedly heartless but seems to remember where he's put the damn thing after you start chatting to him.
** If you talk to Sylphy in the last few chapters, [[spoiler: she breaks down crying and admits that she's honestly scared about the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt death of the world]] and asks for your help.]]

* DramaticWind: Whether you're running through a desert or just [[IdleAnimation standing around]] there is ''always'' some wind blowing your coat/jacket.

* EntitledBastard: [[spoiler: The entirety of Rhoan expects the PlayerCharacter to save them...after they all turned on him[=/=]her. Even the spirits think so. You can torment them over it by refusing to help at first.]]
* EveryoneIsSingle: Averted with Dorothea (though played straight with everyone else)- she loves Valdo. (Whether or not they actually ''had'' a relationship is unclear, though.) That doesn't exactly stop you from being able to date either of them...

* {{Filler}}: Chapters 7 through 10 involve [[spoiler: doing the ''exact same things'' that you did in Chapters 2 through 5, only in reverse order.]]

* HandWave / DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Valdo's postgame resurrection is explained by his soul being housed by his pet cat.]]

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Heath and Lauca. [[spoiler:Also applies to Heath and Tia if you pick him]].
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: From Kullervo's point of view. [[spoiler: [[HumansAreFlawed Even the player character may have the same view, but nevertheless decides against it in the ending]]]].

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Olly, played straight.]]

** Judgment Link tournaments are luck-based as well. You can play perfectly -- in fact, be the ''only participant'' to play perfectly -- and still lose because of the poorly designed scoring system.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: This is pretty much the only way to defeat [[spoiler: Kullervo]]

** Even worse if you're playing a male character, or a female one that didn't [[spoiler:choose Rex as a suitor. In this case, your love interest isn't just "in dire straits"; they get ''sucked into the Book and have the page about them mangled beyond repair''. Naturally, when it comes to the book, nothing stays "damaged" forever.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Rex, we're looking at you.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler: Kullervo]] claims this is true for him and the Main Character. [[spoiler: He was the previous holder of the Book of Prophecy and the one who created the current world. His StartOfDarkness began when he was attacked and sealed away by those who feared him because of the Book's power; an eerie parallel to the Main Character's recent imprisonment at the hands of paranoid and ungrateful townsfolk.]]
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: King Xenonbart [[spoiler:merrily carts you off to jail without giving you a shot at clearing your name]] the first time you meet him. And while (slightly) sympathetic, Georg admits that [[spoiler:he didn't cart you off to jail the second time because he believed you were guilty; he did it because the ''townspeople'' thought so.]]

** If you give up on the Judgment Link Tournaments ([[LuckBasedMission and you might]]), you won't get the Metalizes you would have won. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope That is, until the end of the game.]]]]

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Kullervo]] claims this is true for him and the Main Character. [[spoiler: He was the previous holder of the Book of Prophecy and the one who created the current world. His StartOfDarkness began when he was attacked and sealed away by those who feared him because of the Book's power; an eerie parallel to the Main Character's recent imprisonment at the hands of paranoid and ungrateful townsfolk.]]

* FunnyAfro: A thief living underneath the local castle's dungeon has one of these, and is named Fro... or Sponge. He's been down there so long, he can't even remember his own name. [[spoiler:(It's William "Fro" Jameson.)]]

A 2009 DS fantasy adventure game, created by the staff of Matrix Software, published by Marvelous Entertainment, and distributed by Creator/XSEEDGames.

* TheOjou: Dorothea.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Lauca Meia.
* OneHeadTaller: Nanai for Yumil.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Which leaves some gamers [[ScrewYouElves very satisfied]] by the end.

** There are exactly two things that can be permanently lost in this game, and both of them happen to be images of Olly. The viable time limit for said images? [[GuideDangIt The chapter in which you first meet her!]]

** GoodOldFisticuffs / [[KiAttacks Plana Attacks]]: The origin school.

* EvilAlbino: Subverted. The albino Prince Valdo isn't actually evil, as he is [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by BigBad Kullervo.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avalon_code_uk.jpg]]

* YouCantThwartStageOne / DefeatingTheUndefeatable: The spirits repeatedly say that if [[spoiler:Kullervo repossesses his body]], the BigBad will become unstoppable, and you have to stop him before that happens. Naturally, it ''does'' happen, and of course the PlayerCharacter still wins handily.

One bright, cheerful day, your PurelyAestheticGender main character decides to take a nap on a hill in the nearby meadow. When they wake up, you find out that the world around you is going to be utterly obliterated by the PowersThatBe, and the only way you can save everything you care about is by [[ThrowTheBookAtThem hitting them with a magic book.]] But, of course, that's just the opening cutscene. The story in this game is rather fleshed-out and detailed; wars are fought, loved ones are lost, and the mysteries of the world become unraveled as you try to write the story of the new world.

* GoodBadTranslation: If you were to translate Dorothea's character page, it will say: 'They named a cat muzzles that she ate.' What.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avalon2_8892.png]]

* CuteClumsyGirl: Mieli; [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that her legs have been magically [[PowerLimiter bound.]]

Each and every character, whether they be just a regular NPC or one of the story's main characters, has a rich backstory that affects who they are and what they do. As the main character travels across the world, looking for things to scan and the missing pages of the magic book, the player will find out more about the people living in the world. If the character progresses far enough, they might even get into a relationship with one of the many people they meet on their travels.

So, whether it's the ''[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]''-esque gameplay, the fascinating plot, the developed characters, the beautiful music, or the fact that you just have a thing for manipulating anything you can get your hands on, this game is truly a diamond in the rough.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: There are three witches in this game: [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121103022539/avaloncode/images/thumb/1/11/Olly.png/180px-Olly.png Olly,]] [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121106212513/avaloncode/images/6/63/Elliepage.png Ellie,]] and [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120910024402/avaloncode/images/thumb/1/1f/Nanai.jpg/288px-Nanai.jpg Nanai,]] Guess which one is a WickedWitch, which one is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, and which one is a LoveInterest.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: King Xenonbart of Kaleila, and Mayor Georg.
** "Reasonable" is a stretch here. Xenonbart [[spoiler:merrily carts you off to jail without giving you a shot at clearing your name]] the first time you meet him. And while (slightly) sympathetic, Georg admits that [[spoiler:he din't cart you off to jail the second time because he believed you were guilty; he did it because the ''townspeople'' thought so.]]

* {{Dojikko}}: Mieli; [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that her legs have been magically [[PowerLimiter bound.]]

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: One of the main character's friends is Fana, a girl who's had an [[IllGirl uncurable illness]] since she was born and has lost both of her parents. The male version is Rex, who's lived in poverty all of his life, [[spoiler:and watched his little sister, Meenya get killed]].
** VictoriousChildhoodFriend: On the other hand, if you pick Fana or Rex, they become this.

* TheWikiRule: An in-game example, as the Book of Prophecy basically acts as a full-fledged wiki.

* LostForever: If you give up on the Judgment Link Tournaments ([[LuckBasedMission and you might]]), you won't get the Metalizes you would have won. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope That is, until the end of the game.]]]]
** There are exactly two things that can be permanently lost in this game, and both of them happen to be images of Olly. The viable time limit for said images? [[GuideDangIt The chapter in which you first meet her!]]

* OurElvesAreBetter
** Which leaves some gamers [[ScrewYouElves very satisfied]] by the end.

* LuckBasedMission: Zeno-9

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Getting killed will let you continue from the entrance of the area where you died, with half your maximum HP, the same MP you had when entering, and retain any items or Codes you acquired or sorted within the area.

* ShoutOut: [[{{Franchise/Terminator}} "Come with me... if you want to live."]]
** -->'''Fro:'''[[TheFly Be afraid! Be very afraid!!]]

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Dorothea's profile still states she's in love with Prince Valdo even when she's in love with *you*. Also, manipulating characters' codes and titles doesn't actually change their personality.

* BilingualBonus: One of the bosses is named [[spoiler: Perkele.]] For those of you who know Finnish, that is definitely a [[ForeignCussWord less than savory word]]

-->''The world is ending. You must create a new one.''
