3	-->-- '''Nanus''' explaining the premise of the game.
4
5	In the world of Mamatoto, all countries have moving castles. Because their fortresses can move the countries constantly grapple for territory. Mamatoto is the last castle of Nanus' nation, and all his life they have been fleeing from bigger countries. Nanus dreams of a world where all the countries would be united, with an end to the constant fighting.
6
7	To this end, he uses the evil-looking Mamatoto castle, as well as his inventions, to conquer the world. To do this he invented a device that will allow him to summon soldiers from another dimension by utilizing summon ore. Because he seeks to unite the world as quickly and with the least killing possible, he aims to improve his army to the point where he has such overpowering numbers that his enemies would be forced to surrender. The game follows him building up his army by venturing through the Cross Cave seeking the summon ore that will fuel his machine and summon great heroes from other dimensions.

9	''Widenyo'' is a [[VideoGameRemake widescreen remake]] of ''Mamanyonyo'', a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover StrategyRPG game featuring characters from past Creator/{{Alicesoft}} games including the ''Rance'', ''Toushin Toshi'' and ''Dai'' series. The game is part of the Alicesoft 2010 collection and it has received a [[FanTranslation fan-translation]] which can be found [[http://www.mediafire.com/download/zk53qqissu7137c/widenyo_eng_v1.1.7z here]].

12
13	!!Widenyo provides examples of:
14
15	* AlternateContinuity: Shows up with the summoned characters from the Rance series. Most of them, Rance, Sill, Kanami, Shizuka etc, are from their appearances in the "What-if" game Kichikuou Rance, while some of the newer characters, like Kenshin and Senhime, are from the mainline game, Sengoku Rance, which is in a completely different continuity. It all fits though, since the Idenyon summons from all of the three canon continuities.
16	* AngelFaceDemonFace: King Kakaro has a docile face and a SlasherSmile face, which he generally only puts on when being a DirtyOldMan.
17	* AssistCharacter: A good few of the playable characters have no combat ability whatsoever and instead give bonuses to the rest of the units on the map when fielded.
18	* BitchInSheepsClothing: King Kakaro seems like a ReasonableAuthorityFigure for the most part, but reveals himself to be a sadistic womanizer in private. Given the tame nature of the game, we rarely get to see his more vicious side.
19	* BloodKnight: Senhime of Sengoku Rance makes an appearance. She isn't as inconvenienced by being summoned as some of the other characters are.
20	* BoysLoveGenre: A couple of characters from Creator/AliceSoft's lesser know Alice Blue games also make an appearance.
21	* ChainmailBikini: With the sheer amount of female fighters, from an HGame company no less, it is to be expected that some show up, the most prominent examples being Milli and Leila from the Rance series.
22	* ChasteHero: Unlike every other Alicesoft protagonist, Nanus is incredibly chaste, a virgin and completely embarrassed by anything sexual. [[DirtyOldMan His father]], on the other hand, more than makes up for this.
23	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A large chunk of Mamatoto's male cast is completely absent from the game. Strangely enough, Tammochi, a relatively minor supporting character from the same game, is upgraded to be fully playable from the beginning.
24	* ContinuityNod: The game's opening is more or less identical to Mamatoto's up until Nanus introduces Idenyon rather than the Kids System. Even the narration is identical.
25	* ContinuityPorn: Practically everything featured in the game is a direct reference to one of the earlier Alicesoft games, right down to the dialogue and {{Mooks}}.
26	* CriticalHit: There's not just one, but ''five'' different kinds of crits in the game with every character having a different percentage for each to activate. The five kinds are:
27	** The standard critical hit, which just boost damage.
28	** Dual Action, which gives the unit another turn.
29	** Relocation, that let's you place the enemy in a new location after the attack.
30	** Area, which expands the attack to a blast allowing you to hit multiple enemies.
31	** And lastly there's Counter, which makes the unit counterattack upon being hit and while it isn't technically a crit it's still counted in the same category
32	* CrutchCharacter: Rick is easily the strongest member of your team initially, and while there are better characters later, his availability will also make him one of your primary fighters throughout.
33	* [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Monster Girls]]: As in most Alicesoft games, Gal Monster are present and are actually recruitable for once.
34	* DemotedToExtra: Everyone besides Nanus and Kakaro only ever speaks outside of gameplay in their introductory scene.
35	* DiscOneNuke: The summoning crystals can summon one of any of the non-special requirement characters, meaning you could end up getting [[LightningBruiser Rance]] within the first few minutes. On the other hand, you have just as much of a chance of getting mediocre or outright useless characters as well.
36	* EndlessGame: The ride never ends!
37	* ExcusePlot: While the original plot from Mamatoto gets hinted at, it doesn't really play a large role.
38	* {{Expy}}: Rick, Stolin, and Patton from Mamatoto are the expies of Rick Addison, Sanada Tourin, and Patton Misnarge from the Rance series, respectively. Stolin's fairly unique in how the Mamatoto version came first.
39	* ForcedLevelGrinding: The core gameplay element.
40	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Story wise all characters are summoned during their own respective adventures, yet they all join you at level 1.
41	* GreenAesop: Tiger Joe joins your company to teach you not to waste your resources. [[GameplayAndStorysegregation Not that he actually does anything about it.]]
42	* GridInventory: Every character gets a small one.
43	* HybridMonster: One of the usable characters is a half-Hanny.
44	* IdiotHair: Rizna shows up again and is immediately afraid that the residents of Mamatoto are tricking her.
45	* JokeCharacter: Gou from Daibanchou continues to live up to his title of weakest man in the world, as his attack and defense stats are ''awful'' and he has a unique ability to ''attract attacks from enemies''.
46	* LargeHam: Tiger Joe is outrageously over the top. Zanma Gou and Ricardo Greyzen are also ''very'' hammy.
47	* LeakedExperience: Although every character joins [[GameplayAndStorySegregation at level 1]] it's still present. XP, like in many other Alicesoft games, is an actual thing and [[JustifiedTrope because of a device]] [[TeenGenius the protagonist created]], no matter who defeats the {{Mooks}} all of the experience gets collected and can then be distributed at your leisure. This makes all the grinding a lot more manageable.
48	* LighterAndSofter: This is easily one of the tamest Alicesoft games of all time. While there's occasionally risque dialogue, everything is squeaky clean and incredibly adorable with even characters like Rance getting reduced to a mere LovableSexManiac.
49	* MightyGlacier: Characters like Red Death have incredibly high attack power, but have fewer move spaces than most of the other fighters as well as needing ''very'' high amounts of experience points to level up.
50	* [[{{Mook}} Mooks]]: Haniwa, Alicesoft's iconic mooks, appear as enemies.
51	* NonActionGuy: Despite his technological prowess, Nanus doesn't fight at all, and instead sits around summoning characters from Idenyon. It's suggested that you're controlling him when you distribute experience and deploy units, making him TheStrategist.
52	* NoAntagonist: Other than random monsters and a handful of bosses, there is no villain. Mamatoto's rival nations are alluded to but never appear, and while Kakaro could arguable called a villain, he doesn't get up to much in this game.
53	%%* PantheraAwesome: Tiger Joe.
54	* PrettyBoy: Nanus is described as girly looking multiple times, to the point where Akuji almost ''rapes'' him. Other characters include the entire cast from the [[BoysLove Alice Blue]] series, Rick, Tsubasa and Ragou.
55	* PurposelyOverpowered: Rance is an absolute beast and is one of the only characters that have a S-rank in Talent. Given that he is the protagonist of Creator/{{AliceSoft}}'s flagship series and one of the most popular characters in eroge history, this makes sense.
56	** Not to mention the fact that this is Rance from the WhatIf continuity where he ''takes over the world''.
57	* RandomNumberGod: In full display here. Character and enemy stats are completely randomly generated, making one floor be surprisingly easy only for the next to be brutally difficult.
58	* RedBaron: There're two versions of Rick in the game. One is the alternate Mamatoto version of him and the other is the original Rick from the Rance World with his iconic red armor on, known just as "Red Death" in the game.
59	* RuleOfCute: Every character, no matter what they looked like in their original game, looks adorable in Widenyo.
60	* SelfCensoredRelease: Unlike the original ''Mamanyonyo'', ''Widenyo'' has no H-scenes.
61	* SmallGirlBigGun: Satsu, the heroine of Daiakuji, is a tiny schoolgirl who uses a multishot rocket launcher in battle.
62	%%* SuperDeformed: The main art style.
63	* TakeYourTime: ''The entire game''. The reason you're exploring the caves is to harvest summoning crystals to obtain more commanders for Mamatoto's army, which is about to be attacked by a rival country. Despite the several hours you'll spend playing the game, the enemy nation seems no closer to attacking than from the beginning.
64	* VerbalTic: Multiple examples, but the most obvious one is Arietta's "Nyo" which the game uses in its title.
65	* TheWisePrince: Nanus, in rare Alicesoft form, is presented as a kindhearted, mature and intelligent young man who wants the best for his kingdom. His father, King Kakaro, is [[DirtyOldMan far more depraved and unruly]].
