History VideoGame / Siralim

* BonusBoss: Sigils serve as this in a sense. Minor sigils are basically normal enemies with one extra-powerful named monster leading them. Major sigils are much unique encounters that are designed to be grueling. These are entirely replaced by Itherian Realms in Siralim 3, however.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Your main guide and assistant this time around is Evertt, who despite first appearing in this game, is stated to have been at the Siralim Monarch's side since the very beginning.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Caliban is defeated and peace between Siralim and Nex is restored, but the Siralim Monarch loses Hebron and Damaos, their retainers and childhood friends, due to Caliban's machinations.]]

* BubblyClouds: Life Realms take place on continents made up of semi-solid clouds, including trees with cloudy foliage! In later games, this turns out to be the Azure Dream, the realm controlled by Surathli, the goddess of light.

* KingMook: Certain Duties and scenarios within certain realms will pit you against a "Nether" version of a normal monster, which has considerably better stats than normal.

* FinalDeath: Hardcore mode is an option on starting a new game. If you lose all of your monsters, your character is deleted.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Having a TotalPartyKill causes your character to teleport home in a panic and the only penalty is a loss of power balance, easily regained with a few fights in a level 1 realm. That is, of course unless you elected to [[FinalDeath play in hardcore mode.]]

* [[CallAHitPointASmeerp Call A Skill Point a Royalty Point]]: They may be called something different, but they serve the same purpose as allotting skill points to perks in other games. They get renamed to Deity Points from Siralim 2 onwards.

* [[InstantWinCondition Instant-Lose Condition]]: Even if the enemy party is dead too, if all of your monsters die, you still flee in a warding spell and take the wipe penalty.

* PreviousPlayerCameo: Lucius is all but stated to be the player character from ''3'', presumably having remained alive for the past hundred years through the power of the Nether Orbs he collected while fighting the Siralim Monarch's villainous grandfather.

* ContinuitySnarl: Its unclear whether or not this is a full sequel to ''3'' or a SoftReboot of the series, since the entirety of Siralim's staff and citizenry are the same as they were in ''1'' and ''2'' despite most of them serving as bosses in ''3''.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:With the exception of Hebron and Damaos, Siralim's staff all survive the events of the story and don't become monsters.]]

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: A few classes completely change how the game plays.

** The Cultivator also focuses around a single monster, but in a way that's very different from the Animator in that they grow more powerful the more buffs and stat boosts they receive from their allies.
