An RPG developed by Creator/{{Imageepoch}} for the Platform/PlayStationPortable, released in Japan in October 2012.

It tells the story of the eponymous Sol Trigger, LaResistance to the [[CorruptChurch Machine Church]] which rules the dystopian city of Kaiserhald. The Machine Church is using a [[GreenRocks miraculous energy source]] known as "Sol" to raise the city to even greater heights, but Sol Trigger know that [[HumanResources Sol is secretly made from people]], and that the Church intends to ramp up their production with a [[ScienceIsBad new form of twisted technology]].

A key feature of the gameplay is the "Sol System", where a character can expend additional Sol ({{Mana}}) to increase the power of their skills, or even trade away Sol to revive fallen team-mates.

!!This game provides examples of:

%%* ActionMom: [[spoiler:Fran in her own route.]]
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler:Finishing Farel's arc (the "Canon" route) opens up Lars' arc ("Apocryphal" route).]]
%%* BigBad: Istvan is the face of the Machine Church. [[spoiler:As it turns out, the real BigBad is Littler.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Sol Trigger finally won the battle and the Machine Church is destroyed. In the final screen after finishing the two story arcs, it also shown that 100 years after the final battle, Kaiserhald is still standing prosperously. But not without sacrifices from most of Sol Trigger's members, especially Farel. It's worse if you didn't choose the Fran route, as Fran dies in the final battle.]]
%%* CatGirl: Fran.
* ChildhoodFriend: Farel, Ema and Gustaf are childhood friends.
%%* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Farel and Ema. The victorious kind if you choose Ema's route, unlucky if you don't.
%%* CuteBruiser: Cyril. Emphasis on ''[[BadassAdorable cute]]''.
%%* EyepatchOfPower: Istvan's.
* {{Fanservice}}: From bouncing chests on Ema and Sophie [[spoiler:as well as Wilma and some from post-timeskip Cyril]] to Fran and Sophie's [[spoiler:as well as Wilma]] {{Stripperific}} choice of clothing to shots of half-naked characters being revived in the Sol pool.
%%* ForScience: Littler.
%%* FourEyesZeroSoul: Littler.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Ema and Valter usually get to act before anyone else. Which is a good thing, since Ema is a healer and Valter has a skill that guarantees escape from battle.
* GenderBlenderName: Seriously, ''Cyril''? It's most likely meant to be ''Sheryl''. Also, [[spoiler:''Klotho'' is more associated with one of the three ''moirae'', Greek goddesses who weave the lifespan of a human (Clotho represents life), not a lovable buffoon]].
%%* HealingShiv: Ema's Sol-bullets.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Fran]].
%%* HeroicSacrifice: Will. [[SacrificialLion It happens right at the beginning of the story]], no spoiler needed.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Godsword Xanadu, which allows Farel to use Starry Blast. [[spoiler:Given by a gravely wounded Noi.]]
* LaResistance: The eponymous group. They fight to save "Seeds of Light", people who possess great quantity of Sol.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:In Lars' route, Lars, Klotho and Wilma fill in the combat styles of Farel, Gustaf and Sophie, respectively (though Klotho now has Ema's healing spells). Cyril remains the same, Valter now fills in Ema's gunslinger style, and his old swift-combat style is now inherited by Fran.]]
%%* MacGuffin: The Golden Sol.
* {{Mana}}: Sol. Every organic being possess it, and it's used practically for everything. In-game, it's used to power your special attack, and the more Sol you put into it, the more awesome your attack become.
* MightyGlacier: Gustaf has the lowest Agility of all characters, but when he finally gets to attack, the enemies are going to feel it.
* OfficialCouple: You can pair Farel with one of three female choices. Surprisingly, [[spoiler:the one with a happy ending is not Ema and Sophy, but [[AntiVillain Fran]]. After the time skip, Lars and Cyril also becomes this.]]
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: It's closer to life force.
%%* PermanentlyMissableContent: [[spoiler:If you miss something in Ros-Kuril, then too bad for you!]]
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Since Sol can only be extracted from organic beings, this is inevitable. The main characters fight to stop it.
* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:Nahatgal, UsefulNotes/ThePope of the Machine Church, is revealed to be nothing more but a robotic construct created by Littler to serve as distraction.]]
%%* ScienceIsBad
%%* ShesAllGrownUp: [[spoiler:Cyril after the time skip.]]
* ShopFodder: Softlight, Hardlight, Healight etc. can be sold to Chinami, which she uses to create new equipment.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Perhaps what they really meant was '''Sheryl''' not Cyril, '''Gustav''' instead of Gustaf, '''Walter''' rather than Valter, '''Emma''' rather than Ema, and [[spoiler:'''Clotho''' for Klotho]].
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Fran may look cold at first glance, but is actually very kind and gentle. As shown when she helped some kids during the burning of Kaiserhald. This is even more evident during her own route, when she fell in love with Farel. [[spoiler:Her love for their son Lars is also very clear even though they were separated for many years.]]
* TakeYourTime: Kaiserhald might be burning and Machinas run rampant in the streets, but you can level grind as much as you want in preparation for the boss fight.
* ThemeNaming: The chapter names are taken from SevenDeadlySins. Interestingly, the name of the final stage is not Wrath or something similarly menacing, but ''Lust''.
** The name of the characters' skills reflect their personality. Gustaf's begin with "We Are ___" (''ore-tachi ___''), Valter's ends in faux-Latin such as "Gloria" and "Credo", while Cyril's sounds cutesy and are {{Lucky Charms Title}}s, such as "Candy☆Crash".
%% It is bad example-writing to subbullet tropes. Please split them off and add context before removing comment markup.
%%** Axes: Gustaf and [[spoiler:Klotho]]. Since he possesses both anti-Clone and anti-Machina skills, that axe is going to see a lot of action.
%%** ArmedLegs: Fran.
%%** {{BFG}}: Sophie and [[spoiler:Wilma]]. It also doubles as a flamethrower, machine gun and life-draining vacuum cleaner.
%%*** SmallGirlBigGun
%%** {{BFS}}: Istvan.
%%** BladeBelowTheShoulder: Fran, who [[DualWielding dual wields]] katars.
%%** HeroesPreferSwords: Farel and [[spoiler:his son Lars]].
%%** GirlsWithGuns: Ema, Sophie and [[spoiler:Wilma]].
%%** TheGunslinger: Ema and [[spoiler:post-timeskip Valter]].
%%*** GunFu
%%*** ImprobableAimingSkills
%%** LaserBlade: ''Everyone'' who isn't using a gun.
%%** SinisterScythe: Valter's. The scythe is sinister, but the person wielding it is the most considerate guy in the group.
%%* WhamEpisode
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Being a human-machine hybrid is a big issue for Fran, but Farel assures her that she's human because she has warm Sol inside her. [[spoiler:Her newfound sense of humanity is what allows her to live on in her own route in Lars' arc.]]
* ZenSurvivor: [[spoiler:Of the original team, only Cyril and Valter would make it to Lars' route.]]
