History VideoGame / SaveTheLight

* AntiArmor: Besides Garnet's RocketPunch from [[VideoGame/AttackTheLight the first game]], which has her GroundPunch's shield-breaking effect since Amethyst lost her shield-breaking move [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/StevenUniverseS4E18TigerPhilanthropist following her retirement of Purple Puma]], Opal's Super Charge Shot breaks shields and lowers the enemy's defense. Pearl's Fireball attack can also be upgraded to break shields and also inflict [[DamageOverTime burns.]]

** In the overworld, Steven can roll into enemies to preemptively strike them. He can also squeeze into tight spaces this way.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The limit for the game's currency from [[VideoGame/AttackTheLight the first installment]] is removed, thus allowing you to carry as much money as you need from the beginning.

* VariableMix: Using Greg's abilities adds an electric guitar line to the various battle themes, and one of Steven's abilities adds a ukelele line likewise. Both can be active at once.

* NoItemUseForYou: There's an enemy in the Pyramid Temple that [[BanditMook steals the Cheeseburger Backpack from your party]], preventing you from using items until you defeat it. [[spoiler:Because during this stage, only Connie and Peridot can use the Backpack, Greg, Amethyst, and Pearl, are forced to go without items for their leg of the dungeon.]]

* DoorToBefore: After clearing "Hall to the Heart", the stairs past the final treasure rooms leads back to [[spoiler:outside Bismuth's Forge]]. However, due to the steep ledges, it's a one-way trip back down, so you have to take the Warp Pad and go through "Hall to the Heart" again to go back up.

* AntiArmor: Besides Garnet's RocketPunch from [[VideoGame/AttackTheLight the first game]], which was changed from a SplashDamage attack, Opal's Super Charge Shot breaks shields and lowers the enemy's defense. Pearl's Fireball attack can also be upgraded to break shields and also inflict [[DamageOverTime burns.]]

* ShootTheMedicFirst: There are mage-like enemies that cast a spell that heals their allies within range, so they should be defeated first.

* {{Kevlard}}: Smoky Quartz doesn't take damage when attacked.

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Your in-game party is [[CantDropTheHero Steven]] and three others. This limit clearly doesn't exist in-story, as one cutscene has the entire party show up in the middle of a dungeon.
* TheArtifact: In ''VideoGame/AttackTheLight'', Steven could project his bubble around other people, [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange even though he couldn't in the series]], because he was a purely SupportPartyMember that enemies never attacked. Steven is a full party member now, but his bubble works the same way, basically because it's a very useful move no wants him to lose.

* LeakedExperience: Party members waiting back in Steven's house still gain XP even when not battling. When you switch them in, they're around the same level as the team and have accumulated Skill Points for you to use on stat upgrades.

* BagOfSharing: Like in [[VideoGame/AttackTheLight the previous game]], everyone uses the same items from Steven's Cheeseburger Backpack. [[spoiler:This is {{subverted||Trope}} when the team is forcibly split in the Pyramid Temple: Connie picks up the Backpack, allowing her and Peridot to use it, while Greg, Amethyst, and Pearl are forced to go without items, but they can still collect them for later when the whole team reunites.]]

* NoobCave: You start the game in Beach City, which is overrun by Light Creatures. They're not exactly threatening, and the residents of the town think of them as annoyances at worst.
