8 | !!Monkey King: Hero Is Back provides examples of: |
9 | * BigBrotherMentor: Liur looks up to Wukong almost like a kid asking his brother asking him to play with him. When he saw Wukong fight monsters, he asks him if he could teach him. |
10 | -->'''Wukong:''' You don't ''learn'' martial arts. You ''steal'' them. \ |
11 | '''Liur:''' Oh, oh, I see...so I should just watch you fight, should I? \ |
12 | '''Wukong:''' Do what you want. \ |
13 | '''Liur:''' Yay! |
14 | * ChargedAttack: The typical beat-em-up strong attack. However, it is pulled off faster when at the end of a combo of weaker attacks. |
15 | * CounterAttack: Unusually, it is possible to counter-attack with both a weak and a strong attack, which will have different effects. The former doesn't just hit the enemy, but also locks Sun Wukong into a QTE stand-off; the latter just hits them really hard and knocks them way back, but isn't guaranteed to defeat them on its own. |
16 | * ExpositoryGameplayLimitation: The player is often forced walk slowly while the exposition occurs. |
17 | * {{Golem}}: There's a rock golem boss. After defeating it, you have to fight its variations three more times. |
18 | * InvisibleWall: These are present in pretty much every level, to much chagrin from the players. |
19 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: One of the spells briefly summons a bench that acts as a shield. |
20 | * MirrorMatch: [[spoiler: There's a battle against the shadow Sun Wukong.]] |
21 | * OptionalStealth: Downplayed. It is possible to sneak up on some enemies in order to ambush them with more effective attacks. |
22 | * PaletteSwap: Most of the enemies are various reskins of the mountain trolls. |
23 | * SpikeShooter: One of Sun Wukong's spells allows him to shoot needles. |
24 | * TalkingAnimal: Sun Wukong, the titular Monkey King, and Zhu Baijie, a talking pig. |
25 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Wukong and Zhu Baijie get on each other's nerves a lot, but they still make a good team. |
26 | -->'''Liur:''' Nice to see you two getting on. \ |
27 | '''Both Wukong and Zhu:''' We're not. |
