5	''Memoirs of a Battle Brothel'' is a narrative-driven, [[TurnBasedStrategy tactical turn-based RPG]], set in the {{CyberPunk}} setting of [=MoonFall=], where players assume the role of a Facilitator, an associate of the Courtesan’s Guild that provides much-needed services for guild members, including lodging and upkeep of facilities that attracts a wealthy clientele. Part manager-owner, steward and battle commander, your actions will impact the prosperity of your Guild Hall, as well as the fate of [=MoonFall=].
6	----
7	!''Memoirs of a Battle Brothel'' contains examples of the following tropes:
8	* CivilWar: The Courtesan's Guild devolves into one of these near the start of the game, between the Traditonalists, who want to keep the Guild the same to protect it, and the Progressives, who want to reduces restrictions on who can become a Courtesan, and regulate the entire sex industry, which would put the Guild at odds with [=MoonFall's=] crime syndicates.
9	* {{Cult}}: The Shaper cults worship magic, hoping to reclaim their homeland and to restore the waning power of magic, with the Three Moons being the largest of the shaper cults.
10	* {{Cyborg}}: Several, but Kore is the most extensive, having too many augmentations to be a proper Courtesan, [[spoiler:and has enough bionics that after [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe losing the lower half of her body to a bomb]] and dying from her wounds, she is still able to be brought BackFromTheDead]].
11	* {{Expy}}: The Traveller's Mandate is one of the WebSite/SCPFoundation.
12	* FacialMarkings: Dejah Mars has some, to honor her family and bloodline.
13	* FakinMacGuffin: Gray hands you one of these [[spoiler:to give to Iron Gregarion when the latter is looking for the Throne Relic, and implies he has pulled a SomebodySetUsUpTheBomb. Unfortunately for Gray, Gregarion swapped it for the real deal]].
14	* HelloInsertNameHere: You get to choose the first and last name of your character, as well as the name of your Guild Hall.
15	* HighClassCallGirl: Guild Courtesans are these, having been highly trained in social etiquette and sexual techniques (as well as combat), and have a level of prestige that other prostitutes don't have. The Guild Progressives want to get rid of these, opening the Guild open to anybody who want to be a Courtesan.
16	* HighCollarOfDoom: Thassia combines one of these with a catsuit with a NavelDeepNeckline, although it's subverted considering how she's not one of the bad guys.
17	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gray tries to pull [[spoiler:a FakinMacGuffin on Iron Gregarion when the latter wants the Throne Relic, and implies he has pulled a SomebodySetUsUpTheBomb. Unfortunately for Gray, Gregarion expected this and swapped the fake for the real relic at some point, meaning Gray gave Gregarion the key to being able to claim the throne]].
18	* MsFanservice: Any female with a full body talksprite is this to some degree.
19	* NavelDeepNeckline: Thassia sports a catsuit that combines this with HighCollarOfDoom.
20	* OneGenderSchool: Although the Courtesan's Guild isn't really a school, only females are allowed to become proper Courtesans. The Progressives want to get rid of this rule.
21	* PowerAtAPrice: Shapers are magic users, but lose a memory every time they use their powers.
22	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Stormbreaker Securities is one, and has been hired by some of the smaller crime syndicates to fight the Iron Cartel.
23	* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: When Iron Gregarion sends you to get the Throne Relic from Gray, he reveals that not only Gregarion descended from the Pirate Kings, but so is Thassia.
24	* SilkHidingSteel: Courtesans are trained in social etiquette (although some don't use what they've learnt) as well as sexual training, and have enough combat training that when the Guild's Civil War starts they use said training to fight more like soldiers.
25	* ShadyLadyOfTheNight: Combat training is part of the process of becoming a Courtesan, and when the Civil War starts, Courtesans engage in combat, bombings and other warlike actions.
26	* VigilanteMan: The Old Watch is a group of vigilantes.
