History YMMV / Elona

* {{Squick}}: You can get pregnant [[PurelyAestheticGender even if your character is male]]. On top of that, you actually give birth to aliens, which are hostile [=NPCs=]. If your character is pregnant, you can cure it easily though, drinking poisonous potions (like the cheap dye) or vomiting will get rid of the nasty chest burster.

** In Elona+, the "Knowledge of Magical Plants" feat grants you the "Violent Garden" ability, which inflicts strong poison damage to every enemy you can see. It can easily clear rooms full of enemies with a few uses.

** Once you get a deed of shop and high enough tailoring to mass-produce panties with a sewing kit, be prepared to increase your gold gain by several orders of magnitude. A small pile of panties will bring in around a million gold, while getting 100k before that was a struggle. This was severely nerfed in an Elona+ patch.

* ScrappyMechanic: Food has a random chance of being cursed, which causes you to vomit and become hungrier when eaten. Having to waste money and time on identifying your food to just so you can know it'll work as intended is quite annoying.

** Your assortment of weapon is mostly standard firearms: pistols, revolvers, grenade launchers. And then you have the Gravity Gun (which shoots an energy ball of hurt accross the screen) and the various bows, crossbows and bowguns.

** With sufficient amounts of hunting or luck, you can acquire a Rod of Domination. Use that to dominate a Gold or Silver (Platina in Elona+)) Bell. Genetically modify it to boost its level and give it extra limbs, then give it a shuriken (one that preferably nullifies poison). Pick a fight with a monster that's stronger than you. Laugh when your new best friend cuts it to shreds.... Or just give one Lulwy's gift weapon, The Wind Bow. The ether won't affect it, no modification required, same results.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Most Japanese Elona players loathe Elona+ and its creator, just mentioning it is a FandomBerserkButton in many Japanese Elona communities. It mainly has to do with the excessive anti SaveScumming measures and the story for acts 2 and 3 not being up to snuff and being even more ReferenceOverdosed than vanilla Elona. Despite the new content never receiving a full official translation (or perhaps because of this), this is not the case with western Elona players, who enjoy most of the new content from a gameplay perspective, and it's more popular than vanilla or omake Elona. It helps that the FanTranslation removes some of the gameplay features that were disliked by the Japanese community, and most [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory don't care about the story and dialog all that much to begin with]], and most of it wasn't translated for a long time.

If your character is pregnant, you can cure it easily though, you just have to eat rotten food or a corpse and puke up the baby instead.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A middle-aged man wedding and impregnating a prepubescent youth? Typical. ''A farm dedicated to breeding and slaughtering purchased slaves for meat? ''Nobody will bat an eye. Committing casual murder will range from being given no response at all if a lowly beggar to being given a few wary glances at worst if you kill somebody important (like say, the ''King of Palima''), but get caught pickpocketing and it's warrant enough for you to be ''killed on sight''. And you're free to repeatedly kill the King of Palmia... until you kill him too many times, and then the guards get angry.

* GameBreaker: Gravity Gun, Gravity Gun, Gravity Gun. This Ball-Of-Death[[{{Tradesnark}} ™]] shooter is indispensable to getting the Chosen One medal The change in difficulty once you get this is so big, you go from struggling on the previous days to breezing through the following levels. A lesser extent is the Crossbow that could shoot through mobs, hitting multiple times on big targets, making Hunters a solid choice from start to beginning.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Putits.
** Especially the Military Putits added by Elona+, who sport tiny hats.

** Playing the [[BettingMiniGame blackjack]] games enough times will net you enough potions of cure corruption to trade/sell for anything a wandering adventurer might have. And then you can steal them back on top of that. (however, you'll need new potions as their base value changes once given the stolen flag.)
