History VideoGame / EverOasis

* DropTheHammer: The Serkah all wield hammers, useful for pounding switches, raising and lowering certain platforms and breaking boulders.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler: The Ghostly Reaper, Nightmare Kelp, and Crimson Horror, found within the labyrinths.]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Subverted. After Esna's HeroicSacrifice, the main character goes to her shine. Briefly, they see her reaching out to them and are overjoyed, thinking she survived... but it turns out to just be a hallucination, and she's actually gone.]]

** TheEvilGenius: [[spoiler: Saluru, the Chaos corrupted Serkah, who is revealed to have helped destroy the Ocean Necropolis. Also counts as TheBrute due to wielding a hammer in combat.]]
** TheDragon: [[spoiler: Although he shares just as much screen-time as the other Chaos possessed members, Aronbesh is notably more competent and serious than the LaughablyEvil and clumsy Saluru when it comes to trying to eliminate the heroes in the Forgotten Forest. His dedication to Sheut's EvilPlan as shown in his final pre-battle speech definitely gives the impression that out of all of the minions, Aronbesh is Sheut's right-hand man. Near the end of the game, he shares the role with Saluru after Seipha's death, making them CoDragons.]]
** DarkChick: [[spoiler: Seipha's love of fighting and desire to get stronger seems to be her main motivation for following Sheut and Chaos. Being able to crush her older sister Miura in combat is also a good bonus.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The birdlike Noots are a cross between a penguin and an owl.

Published by Creator/{{Nintendo}} and available exclusively on the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, it released on June 23, 2017.

* CantCatchUp: Will inevitably happen with the fact that [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters just about everyone who moves into your oasis can become playable]], and you CantDropTheHero, so you can only take two people with you. Fortunately you can send the non-seedlings on supply runs, and doing quests for shopkeepers gives them a free level-up.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Literally everyone but two characters (Shakuro and Jamileh) who move into your oasis can be made a party member.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Drauk are an [[TheAmazon all-female]] race of proud warrior lizard people. However, they also [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak really like pretty clothes and accessories as well as fashion festivals.]]

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: The Drauk are an entire race of girly tomboys. They're a ProudWarriorRace who are constantly training to be stronger, but they also put a lot of emphasis on personal appearance, meaning the Drauk are generally fashion-conscious and enjoy pretty clothes and accessories.

* ArabianNightsDays: The general setting of the game is this.

* StandardStatusEffects: Poison, Paralyze, Stun, Slow, and Confusion.
* StatusBuff: The player character's other special ability is to throw attack, defence, and magic-up onto the party at a time.

* BadassBolas: Bolas are one of the weapons that Seedlings can use. They have a long range and deal magical damage.

* BuildLikeAnEgyptian: There are lots of heiroglyphics everywhere and even a giant obelisk.

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Male and female Seedlings are sexually dimorphic. Male Seedlings have woodier, more branchlike horns, female Seedlings have split-down-the-middle horns that resemble seed pods.

* CantCatchUp: Will inevitably happen with the fact that [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters just about everyone who moves into your oasis can become playable]], and you CantDropTheHero, so you can only take two people with you. Fortunately you can send the non-seedlings on supply runs, and doing quests for shopkeepers gives them a free level-up. Seedlings however...
** ChangingGameplayPriorities: As mentioned under EarlyGameHell, you can often get more residents in your oasis than you can build shops for them, and the game pulls a Bait-and-switch to you. Once your oasis starts hitting around thirty or so residents, managing your Oasis turns into a SpaceManagementGame.

* TerribleTrio: Saluru, Aronbesh, and Seipha serve as Sheut's main minions and do their best to impede your journey. [[spoiler: After Seipha is killed, Aronbesh and Saluru get regulated to ThoseTwoBadGuys.]]

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: Seipha becomes the Cain to Miura's Abel.]]

* CallARabbitASmeerp: One of the races seen in game are called Lagora and look similar to squirrels and rabbits.

* FiveRaces:
** The Serkah and the Drauk are the Stout.
** The Lagora and the Noots are the cute
** The Seedlings are the Mundane.

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[spoiler: Sheut/Chaos implies this is the case with its eventual return: as long as there are negative emotions (grief, anger, greed, racism), darkness/Chaos will eventually return. Hopefully this will be mitigates since due to Esna's HeroicSacrifice the desert turned into one large oasis, where no one will have to suffer again.]]

** As your oasis grows and gets bigger main street and back roads, you unlock the "Mass Restock" feature so you don't have to run to every single store to restock them one by one. You can also send your non-seedling residents out on supply runs to keep getting the basic items, and they will get quite a lot of them, too!

* MixAndMatchCritters: A lot of the monsters in the game are these by looks and/or name. Such as the first monsters you cross paths with, Leapard and Sharkobra, are a rabbit or other rodentlike creature with the spots of a leopard and a snake with a shark fin respectively. And the Noots are penguins mixed with owls.
* MookMaker: The Chest enemies in the labyrinths constantly spawn enemies until they're destroyed. They do tend to wait for you to defeat the thing they spawned before making more, but then they don't even appear at all for you to attack! The Cuttleslug, Octocrast, Anemonest and Krafgufa enemies can also spawn one enemy, a Creeper or a Jackpine, by blowing a ball of sludge out from their trunk.

* NatureSpirit: In the form of the water spirit Esna, your ally who helps create your Oasis.

* NonMammalMammaries: Played with - the Drauk don't seem to have any ''visible'' mammaries, but some appear to have a BreastPlate that makes them look like they have mammaries. This was possibly done to emphasize their [[OneGenderRace female-only race]].

* TempleOfDoom: The dungeons of the game.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Sheut, aka Chaos, who currently possesses the main character's older brothers.]]

* BraggingRightsReward: Many pieces of lategame equipment are this. Several of them require you to beat the bonus bosses ''multiple times'' to get the equipment necessary to make them.

* CuteMute: The Noots never speak, and that makes them all the more endearing. A few of the more introvert Seedlings even like their silence, as it comforts them and makes them easy to do business with.

* EarlyGameHell: At Level 1, any enemy can kill you in one to three hits, forcing you to run away a lot. You're also starved for resources and Dewadems (Which you need to build shops and synthesize items) and you might get residents coming in quicker than you can build shops for them. To alleviate the first point somewhat, the very first resident you get, Lili, reduces damage taken from both beast and scale type monsters by 30% (who are both common early on), can heal 25% of the total HP for all party members at once and is a sword user, [[ElementalRockPaperScissors who are effective at taking down beast type monsters]].
* EndgamePlus: Beating the final boss puts you just before you explore the final area, but unlocks several new residents, two new festival types, new shops, new challenges, and more.

* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: When Chaos attacks the last oasis at the beginning of the game, Tethu's brother Nour uses his wind magic to launch Tethu into the air, telling him he has to create a new oasis.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Naturally, Tethi/Tethu starts off using sword. However, unlike other Seedlings, he/she can use any of the Seedling weapons (swords, bolas, wands, and bows) so long as you have one.

* {{Lilliputians}}: Judging by the giant pottery, shards, and how a line that a member of town might say involves an ancient race that must have been huge when compared to their seedling self, it seems to be implied.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Literally everyone but two characters who move into your oasis can be made a party member.

* MiniDungeon: Many of the cave areas have mini-dungeon aspects to them, but the most fitting candidate is probably the Sanctuary. Despite having keys, it doesn't have a true boss (just Chaos minibosses) and is MUCH shorter than the other dungeons.

* MookMaker: The Chest enemies in the labyrinths constantly spawn enemies until they're destroyed. They do tend to wait for you to defeat the thing they spawned before making more, but then they don't even appear at all for you to attack!

* VerbalTic: Yamorka, one of the Drauk, makes sure to throw in a "PWAH!" with every line she says. PWAH!

* EarlyGameHell: At Level 1, any enemy can kill you in one to three hits, forcing you to run away a lot. You're also starved for resources and Dewadems (Which you need to build shops and synthesize items) and you might get residents coming in quicker than you can build shops for them. To alleviate the first point somewhat, the very first resident you get, Lili, reduces damage taken from both beast and scale type monsters by 30% (who are both common early on), can heal 25% of your whole party's total HP at once and is a sword user, [[ElementalRockPaperScissors who are effective at taking down beast type monsters]].

* FaceDeathWithDignity: The QuirkyMinibossSquad of corrupted races, when you kill them are [[spoiler: perfectly okay with it all]]

* MundaneUtility: Some party member weapons fall into this. The Serkah's hammer is great in combat...and for hitting switches and breaking rocks. The Lagora's twin blades are great for DPS use...and for cutting open spider-webs. The Drauk's spear has a great reach...and is also used to open gates and tilting over giant fragments of urns.

-->'''Merodac''': Did you know that most Laora are male. It's really rare to see a female Lagora! But somehow we've survived.

* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: The Labyrinths have a different layout every time you enter.

* SuperDeformed: The game uses a chibi style for the characters.
