History Videogame / Clonk

A pack in a classical WildWest setting, featuring cowboys, settlers, bandits, sheriffs, cavalry, trappers, indians and so on.

* MagicalNativeAmerican: The indians have, among other things, a system of various magical amulets, each with a stat-enhancing effect and a few corresponding spells.

* WesternCharacters:
** {{Cowboy}}: They're all TheGunslinger foremost though, and [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything there's no]] cattle, let alone cattlekeeping, in the game at all.
** TheSheriff
** {{Bandito}}
** HunterTrapper
** {{CavalryOfficer}}

* YeGoodeOldeDays

* SigilSpam: The Eke and I. S. I. emblems are put on everything. It was even more {{egregious}} in the 8 bit version.

* ShoutOut: One of the bosses is the [[CharlieTheUnicorn Banana King]].

The '''''[[http://clonk.de/?lng=en Clonk]]''''' titles are a series of SideView German PC games, that put you in command of one or more of the eponymous clonks. As a general rule, you'll need to use them to build a functioning settlement, harvest all the gold/oil/whatever in a map, or [[CompetitiveMultiplayer kill off all of someone else's clonks]]. But it might be a race. Or a [[TenLittleMurderVictims murder mystery in progress]]. Or a game of tag. Or maybe there'll be [[WideOpenSandbox no goal at all.]] It varies hugely between levels, since the engine is fairly versatile and players can easily develop their own objects and scenarios.

* {{Badass}}: The Special Force Trooper is a deliberate parody of this. He '''''kicks down trees'''''.

* StopHelpingMe: With its strong knockback/pull and returning properties, the Bouncing Spear is a powerful ranged weapon for the strength class, but inconsiderate use of it can screw up allies' targeting by knocking enemies out of close combat or a spell's area of effect.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Iceblast spell looks cool and deals high damage, but with the preparation time, enemies will usually interrupt your channeling or jump out of range... unless you combine it with stun, the Spider Web spell or the like, in which case it becomes AwesomeYetPractical.

* {{Religion}}: The FantasyPantheon consists of two opposing deities called Sawelô and Teiwaz [[note]]which are names of [[NorseMythology norse runes]][[/note]]. The Order of Sawelô seems to be light-oriented and has powers like a [[EnergyBall lightning ball]] [[HolyHandGrenade attack]], while the Legion of Teiwaz is portrayed as darker and more sinister, with powers like [[LifeDrain a bloodsucking ray]]. Though LightIsNotGood and DarkIsNotEvil here; it more seems like GreyAndGreyMorality. Both factions fight each other with the same fanaticism, not to speak of their shared hatred for the atheistic mages and kanderians.

* SummonMagic: You can summon flaming snakes to attack an enemy, and [[GoshHornet zaps]] that defend you and aid you in melee.

* GoshHornet: What happens when you break a [[CallARabbitASmeerp zap]] nest.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Throw a strong flint into a gold vein and stand too close, [[TooDumbToLive fire a cannon upwards]], or drop a zap nest next to yourself.

* SomeDexterityRequired: For not falling off an edge with classic controls activated.

[[AC:Codename Modern Combat]]
A shooter pack based on Hazard systems, with intricate mechanics and a lot of decoration. Inspired primarily by the {{VideoGame/Battlefield|Battlefield}} series.

* CombatMedic: The medics can hold their own in a fight quite well. The medic's submachine gun had to be nerfed more than any other weapon in this pack.
* ExplosionPropulsion: Explosions have large shockwaves that can knock clonks outside the damage radius off their feet.
* FlashOfPain
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Antiskill's riot shield eats up bullets
* MagicalDefibrillator: Zap a dying ally with it and they'll reliably get back on their feet and regain their health over a short time.
* PistolWhip: Pressing the fire button near an enemy causes this.
* ShieldBash: Another ability of the riot shield. It seems to have more knockback than the PistolWhip.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The riot shield stops bullets. Explosives ignore the shield. Bullets can shoot down explosives.

Clonk Rage is {{Shareware}}, of the limited-content demo variety, while all the older games are available for [[http://www.clonk.de/ce.php?lng=en free]].

* {{Abandonware}}: Sort of. Pre-''Clonk Endeavour'' titles, which used to be shareware, are fully available for free.

* ExplosionPropulsion: Introduced into the game by the fan scenario "Pressurewavefight" (the title is an [[TranslationTrainwreck incomprehensibly]] [[BlindIdiotTranslation broken translation]] of the German "Druckwellenkampf". What is meant is something in the lines of "Blastwave Battle".), and officially inserted as a general gameplay element with Clonk Rage.

* RocketJump: "Flint jumps".

* StylisticSuck: The community has spawned the phenomenon of "Niwoh" (a malapropism of the word "Niveau" meaning 'level' as sophistication) scenarios, which are a combination of this, purposely inserted bugs, in-jokes, non-sequiturs, bad puns and [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs general wackiness]].

* AnimateDead: Turns a deceased clonk into a [[ArtificialStupidity dumb]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Type V]] zombie.

* InASingleBound: With the "toad jump" spell, you can make huge leaps, and, when spamming it, practically fly.

* BoozeBasedBuff: Wompfberry whiskey is a healing item. To simulate inebriety, it [[InterfaceScrew wildly shakes the screen]] and randomly makes the clonk trip or change direction, though.

** {{Cowboy}}: Though they do way [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything less cattlekeeping]] than gunslinging - there ''isn't even cattle in the game''.

** {{Outlaw}}

* GlassCannon: The assassin. He takes double damage, but has powerful capabilities like OneHitKill via BackStab or [[BoomHeadShot headshots]] with the crossbow, or nigh invisibility.

* {{Religion}}: The FantasyPantheon consists of two opposing deities called Sawelô and Teiwaz [[note]]which are names of [[NorseMythology norse runes]][[/note]]. The Order of Sawelô seems to be light-oriented and has powers like a [[EnergyBall lightning ball]] [[HolyHandGrenade attack]], while the Legion of Teiwaz is portrayed as darker and more sinister, with powers like [[LifeDrain a bloodsucking ray]].

The Hazard pack is a CyberPunk shooter pack. The gameplay differs radically from standard Clonk gameplay.
* ActionBomb: Pyrocites.

* DoomDoors
* DoubleJump: The hazard clonk can do this, and with a (so-called) jetpack, he can extend this to a triple jump.

* InformalEulogy: If you get killed, the game snarkily comments your death, also depending on death cause.

* RayGun: The particle cannon is kind of a railgun, while the energy rifle is a rapid-fire gun firing energy charges.

* SpaceMarine: Hazard clonks when fighting aliens.

Eke Reloaded is an action shooter pack with a military setting. Though it deals with a civil war and an alien invasion, it has a tongue-in-cheek tone and parodies cliches of soldiers, military games and the Action genre in general. Unlike most other Clonk packs, it has an official backstory.

* DenialOfDiagonalAttack

* MadeOfExplodium: Airbikes.

* ScienceIsBad: Scientists are either portrayed as careless {{redshirt}}s or as just as careless experimentators (the Arso-Morf disaster was caused by experiments).

** The unmutated stippels are [[BlobMonster quite amorphous]] {{One Hitpoint Wonder}}s with {{Fan Nickname}}s like "mean meatballs". They tend to appear in large groups, biting you and [[{{Knockback}} knocking you around]].

** Moffs are spider-like stippels. They only appear when bred by muffuks and are very fast, quite sturdy and mobile and can kill you in three hits.

* StickyBomb: The omniblaster in a certain mode.
* TrickArrow: The harpoon can fire explosive arrows ''at machinegun rate'' and be immediately reloaded as long as you still ''have'' ammunition left.
* VideogameFlamethrowersSuck: Averted. Because Clonk fire (by default) does not extinguish over time, burning means certain death if there is no neohexine or water to extinguish you. The flamethrower is extremely efficient against stippels, because releasing a short flare only consumes a minimal amount of fuel.

* MirrorMatch: Both teams start out with the same map layout and ressources. This carries over to mods with a dynamic map generator.

* HatOfPower: The Hunting Hat is the branger's agility.

* MightyGlacier: The fighter can become this.

* NintendoHard: It is meant to be a challenge even for veteran players. Rooms challenge you by various means, such as head-tilting puzzles rivalling ''{{La-Mulana}}'', head-tilting puzzles with additional [[MoonLogicPuzzle outside-the-box thinking]], the application of typical SequenceBreaking techniques, the RocketJump being the easiest of which, [[PlatformHell unfair platform segments]], exploitation of [[GoodBadBugs traditional bugs]], {{Timed Mission}}s, MalevolentArchitecture [[AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair hidden stuff]], {{death trap}}s, {{fake trap}}s... or ''all of this'' combined.

* EdgeGravity: The game is fairly strict with this; a clonk tends to fall off a cliff if he's standing on the ground with less than half of his hitbox.
