History VideoGame / EryisAction

* GameBreakingBug: The Steam version's DRM prevents the game from starting if the game is launched directly by executing Eryi.exe--a dialogue box pops up asking you to start the game through Steam. This is par for the course for Steam {{DRM}}. However, if Steam is in Offline Mode, the same error pops up. In other words, to play the Steam version, you need to be connected to the Internet when the game starts. This does not apply if you purchased the game directly from Nyu Media's website, or are playing the original, non-English version.

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Eryi has several distinct death animations, including but not limited to: ClothingDamage, getting splashed with hot water, [[ATwinkleInTheSky getting propelled into the sky]], being turned into a snowman, and being frozen.

-> '''''WARNING!''' [[SchmuckBait Contains traps that will annoy the heck out of you!]] [[TrollingCreator The developers]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck takes no responsibility]] [[RageQuit for smashed controllers!]]''

* SchmuckBait: The Warp Pots. As the player will soon discover, [[spoiler: every single one of them, except for the exit of the water level, is a death trap]].

* XMeetsY: It's ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld'' meets ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' but with emphasis on puzzle-solving rather than action.

* OurTrollsAreDifferent: ''Very'' different - Farta the troll looks more like a fairy (she's even more fairy-like than Eyri, who actually ''is'' a fairy).

* BulletHell: One of the bosses is a [[UnexpectedShmupLevel SHMUP-style flight level]] with lots of bullets to avoid. [[spoiler:Two bosses, including the extra boss.]]

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Eryi has several distinct death animations, including but not limited to: ClothingDamage, getting splashed with hot water, [[ATwinkleInTheSky getting propelled into the sky]], being turned into a snowman, and being frozen.
* MultipleEndings: Depending on what difficulty you beat the boss on and [[spoiler: whether or not you grab the melon at the end]].
* NintendoHard: Expect to die and learn from your mistakes. A lot. The game's manual lampshades this, as it makes many references to smashing keyboards and controllers.
* OneHitPointWonder: Eryi. Even when the game goes into RPG-mode, she still only has 1 HP. Everyone else has HP in the thousands.
* PlatformHell: Though, the emphasis is more on figuring out how to get around the sadistic traps rather than pixel-perfect movements like in ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy''.
* PlayerNudge: There are several hint blocks that give an idea of what you need to do when the solution isn't obvious, or where there's a new gameplay mechanic coming up.
* PointAndClickMap: [[spoiler:And the game will try to kill you there, too!]]

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: You have infinite lives.

* BottomlessPits
* [[spoiler:BulletHell: Ex-Mode Farta and the UFO]]
* CheckPoint

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Eryi.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Just like in other PlatformHell games, you should NEVER trust anything in this game. That warp pot? Will most likely take you into a [[SpikesOfDoom spike pit]] to kill you. That innocent patch of ground? Probably has retractable spikes. The game even tries to kill you with falling pans ''inside Eryi's house!''

* OneHitPointWonder: Eryi.

* SpikesOfDoom: It wouldn't be PlatformHell without them.

* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Plenty of it in this game.

* [[spoiler:UnexpectedShmupLevel: The final battle with Farta is exactly this. Eryi gets a MechaExpansionPack specially for the occassion, too!]]
* XMeetsY: It's ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' meets ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' but with emphasis on puzzle-solving rather than action.

'''''Eryi's Action''''' is a [[NintendoHard devilishly hard]] platformer by the doujin circle of XTAL SWORD.

* NintendoHard: Expect to die and learn from your mistakes. A lot.

* PlatformHell

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Oh, so many.

* GameBreakingBug: The Steam version's DRM prevents the game from starting if the game is launched directly by executing Eryi.exe--a dialogue box pops up asking you to start the game through Steam. This is par for the course for Steam. However, if Steam is in Offline Mode, the same error pops up. Conclusion: The Steam version, by accident, has always-on {{DRM}}. This does not apply if you purchased the game directly from Nyu Media's website, or are playing the original, non-English version.

* MeaninglessLives: As if taking a page from ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'', the game starts with a 3-life counter that runs into the negatives.

** Alternatively, it's ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'' with a cutesy aesthetic. The name may even be a ShoutOut.

An English version of the game was released on {{DESURA}} on September 9th, 2012, by Nyu Media. A {{Steam}} release may be imminent if the game is voted to be greenlit [[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92915524 here]]. The English Web site for the game and the game's trial version can also be found [[http://eryisaction.com/ here]].

[[YouHaveBeenWarned Be warned]], [[JustOneMoreLevel this game can be addicting]], especially if you're a masochist.
