YMMV / Annventure

• Awesome Ego: Ego is indeed awesome, pun intended. Nearly all her lines are about how amazing she is, and she does it in such a hilarious and charismatic manner that it makes her charming. She's also one of the more difficult bosses in the first game and is quite persistent. Goes into Evil Is Hammy territory as well when she does a Face–Heel Turn in the sequel and is an entertaining villainess. All of this combined makes her into perhaps the most popular character in the series who gets the majority of fanart, exactly as she would want it.
• Awesome Music: Along with being catchy, the soundtrack has great songs.
  • "Annventure", the title screen track, sets a mysterious mood for the game with it's instruments.
  • The game's recurring motif, a steady but slow acoustic melody (which is first played on the naming screen before appearing at many moments during the game), is beautiful in a simplistic way. The short reprise of it on the title call at the end of Ghostly Waters, which is composed of a clarinet and an eerie choir, and the remix that plays in Fallside and Springside's sewers, which carries more of a EarthBound vibe, are also worthy of mention.
  • The town you start the game in (Nirvana Town) has a track with a pretty cheerful banjo with drums, strings and other instruments creating a friendly personality for the town.
  • "I'm Still Really Not Scared of You", the faster version of "I'm Still Not Scared of You" that works as the battle theme for her One-Winged Angel form, Inflated Ego, sounds like something coming out of the Sega Genesis.
• Complete Monster: Tyrannia was once a mortal witch who terrorized the village of Heirloom with famines before turning herself into a demon. In the first game, Tyrannia possesses the titular Ann and goes on a killing spree throughout Blackwater Country, unleashing her demon followers on the populace and turning many of them into zombies and other monsters. Tyrannia also subjects Alvin and Emmet to psychological torment via illusions and tries to get the player to give up their soul so she can leave the game and wreak havoc in the real world. Though defeated, Tyrannia returns in the sequel possessing Emmet and corrupting Emily "Ego" Koibito, who summoned her, into becoming her servant. Using Ego, Tyrannia builds the floating city of Tokego and forces much of the populace into poverty, then has Ego build a robot army to go on a second rampage, eventually killing Ego when she is of no more use. Finally, Tyrannia hacks into the code of Annventure and begins destroying the entire Yoobiiverse with glitches in another attempt to escape into the real world.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Ego, natch. Her ability to inflate is what brought a lot of people to Annventure.
• Fridge Brilliance: How does Ego transform into Inflated Ego during the third battle with her at Ghostly Water? When she realized Tyrannia possessing Ann was a murderer, she got a boost on her ego, believing that she is better than her. In other words, she inflated her ego.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • The Killer (aka, Tyrannia in Ann's body) massacring the Corn Fielf's Benevolent Boss and her clones after being called out on burning the rotten corn is a testament to how depraved they are. And if that's not enough yet, they then proceed to commit a massacre at all the towns of the game, leaving them all lifeless and, in Summerside's case, infested with monsters.
• That One Attack: The Kraken Of The Ocean's jump attack, which is an One-Hit KO at the level you are likely to be when you fight it.
• That One Boss: The Kraken Of The Ocean from the first game is a Flunky Boss flanked by a Squoot and Seaweed, two already tough enemies, but the Kraken also has relatively high defense, a lot of HP, and- most notably- That One Attack where it jumps on you, which will almost certainly be an One-Hit KO.
