| ''Monster Girl Quest'' (aka ''Monmusu Quest: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
| |
| Lose and the Girls Rape You]]'') is an {{eroge}} created by a small
| |
| doujin group, inspired by ''TheMonsterGirlEncyclopedia''. So far, only
| |
| the first two chapters have been released and only a fan-translation
| |
| (albeit a high-quality one) is available. All in all three chapters are
| |
| currently planned.
| |
| | |
| Set InAWorld where {{Cute Monster Girl}}s abound, the story follows
| |
| [[CuteShotaroBoy Luka]], a boy with aspirations of becoming a hero. On
| |
| the day of his baptism as a Hero, his village is attacked by a slime
| |
| girl. After defeating her and thus missing out on his baptism, Luka
| |
| stumbles upon Alice, a lamia who apparently fell from the sky. After
| |
| receiving a vision from the goddess Ilias, Luka resolves to set out on a
| |
| quest to confront the [[BigBad Monster Lord]] in the hope of creating a
| |
| world where humans and monsters can live together in harmony. Alice,
| |
| seeing something special in Luka, decides to tag along under the
| |
| pretense of seeing the world [[BigEater and all its delicacies]].
| |
| | |
| Oh yeah, did we mention that the monster girls feed on and procreate
| |
| with the semen of human males, usually against the man's will? To say
| |
| that this game is explicit is to say that the Atlantic Ocean is damp.
| |
| Just a heads up for anyone thinking of downloading it.
| |
| | |
| Progress on the English fan-translation can be followed at
| |
| [[http://roguetranslations.wordpress.com/ RogueTranslator's blog]] where
| |
| you can get complete translations of the first 2 chapters.

| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| !! Tropes appearing in this series:
| |
| | |
| * AfterCombatRecovery: Somewhat justified since almost all monsters use
| |
| only pleasure attacks and any "recovery" is merely relaxing until the
| |
| boner goes away. Turns out Luka can also recover from real wounds this way.
| |
| -->'''Alice:''' What the hell is wrong with your body??
| |
| * {{Ahoge}}: Sylph has it, [[TheDitz no surprise.]]
| |
| * AliceAllusion: There seem to be no connection between Alice and
| |
| [[AliceInWonderLand Alice]] at first. But in second chapter, reveal that
| |
| each Monster Lord take the name ''Alice'' after first one. Then you see
| |
| ''Black Alice'', a blond girl in blue dress, an earlier Monster Lord,
| |
| [[spoiler:and she's working for Ilias]].
| |
| * AllWomenAreLustful: At least all the monster women are (Justfied since
| |
| their sustenance is male semen)
| |
| * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Deconstructed. The human population as a whole
| |
| firmly believes that all monsters are evil, but they're as much victim
| |
| as villain, and while they're most certainly rapists, they literally
| |
| feed on sex, and the Church has decreed that any consenting partner is a
| |
| heretic. Other than the rape part, monsters' alignment spans the gamut,
| |
| with many vile monsters, many kind-hearted ones, and many in the middle,
| |
| and many monsters (especially [[HornyDevils succubi]]) are quite happy
| |
| to find compromises that allow them to meet consenting partners.
| |
| * AManIsNotAVirgin: Subverted. Luka's first real intercourse (that
| |
| doesn't result in a GameOver) is near the end of Part 2.
| |
| * ArtShift: Most of the major characters and some of the standard
| |
| monsters have much more impressive artwork than most due to differing
| |
| artists. Sometimes this is themed; the enemies in the haunted mansion
| |
| appear to be watercolours or something.
| |
| ** ArtEvolution: Judging from demo, Part 2 has much better art than Part
| |
| 1. Luka's character portrait even looks {{Badass}}.
| |
| * AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The Monster Lord is chosen by taking all
| |
| the applicants and having them fight each other. Explicitly justified
| |
| since there are powerful monsters out there, and if the Monster Lord
| |
| wasn't the strongest, there would be no way to keep them in line. It is
| |
| also noted that the daughter of every Monster Lord since the first has
| |
| come out on top, a fact Alice takes great pride in.
| |
| * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: A giant sandworm girl. She rapes Luka by
| |
| simply picking him up and sucking on him like a lollipop.
| |
| ** Also the Koryuu, a giant dragon turtle which likewise takes Luka in
| |
| her mouth and sucks on him.
| |
| * AuthorAppeal: Obviously for {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, but special
| |
| mention should go to the sheer amount of tentacles and [[SwallowedWhole
| |
| soft core vore]].
| |
| * AwesomeButImpractical: Quadruple Giga. Could OHKO any monster you meet
| |
| till the end of Part 2, but takes 4 rounds to charge and fails if you're
| |
| attacked in that time.
| |
| * BabiesEverAfter: With the harpies, the kitsunes and the slug girl if
| |
| you lose to them-- among many others. Luka even remarks in one case that
| |
| it isn't so bad.
| |
| * BadassAbnormal: Luka is far more powerful than any human [[spoiler:due
| |
| to his implied angel heritage]], letting him take on monsters that would
| |
| require armies of normal humans to defeat.
| |
| * BattleCouple: The ending of Part 2 implies that [[spoiler: Luka and
| |
| Alice will be this in Part 3.]]
| |
| * BattleStrip, OneWingedAngel: When Lamia in the first chapter, Alma
| |
| Elma and Tamamo in the second, go all-out in their final battles against
| |
| Luka, they strip down to the nude. It's probably symbolic of them
| |
| shedding everything tying them down and showing Luka what they really
| |
| are capable of...[[SarcasmMode although there]] ''[[SarcasmMode might
| |
| be]]'' [[FanService other]] [[DistractedByTheSexy reasons.]] Tamamo puts
| |
| them on again before using her final attack, though.
| |
| * BetterThanABareBulb: There is a lot of LampshadeHanging about [=RPGs=].
| |
| * BigBad: The Monster Lord. [[spoiler: [[DarkIsNotEvil Or so]]
| |
| [[LightIsNotGood Luka thinks]] [[BiggerBad at first]]]].
| |
| * BigEater: Alice.
| |
| * BiTheWay: The Scorpion Girl seems just as content with raping girls as
| |
| she is with raping guys.
| |
| ** Sara's in love with Granberia, but doesn't seem to have a problem
| |
| giving Luka a blowjob as a reward for his help.
| |
| * BloodKnight: Granberia. She is of the WouldNotShootACivilian variety
| |
| and doesn't actually kill anyone. She is also one of the few enemies
| |
| that doesn't use "pleasure" attacks against Luka and actually fights him.
| |
| * BloodSplatteredWarrior: Alice's state after fighting and killing
| |
| dozens if not hundreds of chimera monsters. She even notes none of the
| |
| blood on her is her own.
| |
| * BodyHorror: The Chimera monsters.
| |
| ** The Suck Vore is created from a human woman. We get to see the
| |
| process in the recent patch.
| |
| * [[spoiler:BolivianArmyCliffhanger: In Part 2.]]
| |
| * BonusBoss: The Doppelganger, added in an update to the English version
| |
| of the game and unlocked by completing the Monsterpedia
| |
| * BoringButPractical: Plot-wise. The Enrikan Shirt looks like a mundane
| |
| shirt, but is really the best piece of protection gear in Iliasburg
| |
| weapon shop. Most heroes (Including Luka, at first) ignore it in favor
| |
| of something cooler.
| |
| * BossRush: [[spoiler:Against the four knights at the end of the sequel,
| |
| and this time, they're not holding back.]]
| |
| * BreakingTheFourthWall: All the time.
| |
| * BreakTheCutie: Luka, consider what he goes and went through. However,
| |
| [[SubvertedTrope no]], he's not so bad yet, but who knows.
| |
| * BrutalHonesty: Many examples, both straight and [[CassandraTruth
| |
| subverted]].
| |
| ** In a [[spoiler: succubus]] village:
| |
| --> '''Soldier A''': [[BlatantLies I came to defend this village!]] Even
| |
| if I'm left completely exhausted, I won't regret it!
| |
| --> '''Alice''': ...Damn pervert.
| |
| --> '''Soldier B''': I came here to have sex with a Succubus! If I'm
| |
| left completely exhausted, that will be my reward!
| |
| --> '''Alice''': ...Damn honest.
| |
| * CallingYourAttacks
| |
| * CallingYourOrgasms
| |
| * TheCameo: Patch 2.05 adds [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Ika Musume]]. While
| |
| she's a complete pushover, she does have higher quality art and more
| |
| rape scenes than most monsters.
| |
| * {{Cap}}: Fight with cursed book pages consists of Page 17, Page 257
| |
| and Page 65537. They are all common powers of two, plus one.
| |
| * CapeWings: The loli Vampire Girl has them, although she isn't
| |
| particularly {{badass}}.
| |
| * ChandlersLaw: Most of the conversations end with "and then a monster
| |
| appeared."
| |
| * ChekhovsGun: Many.
| |
| ** The massacre at Remina, apparently perpetrated by monsters against
| |
| humans. Alice later reveals that [[spoiler:the monsters cohabiting the
| |
| town were also killed]], leaving the exact details of the event a
| |
| mystery. In second chapter, Luka can visit the ruin of Remina and
| |
| [[spoiler:find some angel's feathers there, along with few Chimera
| |
| Beasts.]] If there's any doubt,[[spoiler:if Luka doesn't kill Alice,
| |
| Ilias will say she have to do it again. Then angelic attack on Monster
| |
| Lord castle start, and it's clear no ordinary monsters stand a chance
| |
| against angels.]]
| |
| ** Luka's mother's ring, which is brought up multiple times and from
| |
| which Alice feels no magic whatsoever. Tamamo points out in the second
| |
| chapter that this kind of ring always emits some magic power, so it's
| |
| actually odd that it ''doesn't''.
| |
| ** The mystery behind Luka's powers that he can only use while unconscious.
| |
| ** The orbs, two of which can be found during the first chapter. Alice
| |
| reacts to the discovery of the first with some concern, but says it's OK
| |
| so long as there's only one. It may be fortunate for Luka that she isn't
| |
| with him when he receives the second. Their actual function involves
| |
| some kind of "Holy Wings." In second chapter, [[spoiler:they're used to
| |
| summon Garuda.]]
| |
| ** The scientist who comes to visit Chrome at the haunted mansion and
| |
| Lily at the witch mansion. In second chapter, [[spoiler:she's
| |
| Promesthein, TheDragon to Ilias.]]
| |
| * ChronicHeroSyndrome
| |
| * ContractualGenreBlindness: Luka is more often this than
| |
| DangerouslyGenreSavvy. He knows that acting like an IdiotHero is well
| |
| ... idiotic, but it's often the right thing to do!
| |
| * ControllableHelplessness: Take hit from certain moves, and you can't
| |
| get free no matter how many times you tell Luka to struggle.
| |
| * CorruptTheCutie: Many, many Monsters do this to Luka if they get their
| |
| hands on him.
| |
| ** Can even happen to the PLAYER.
| |
| ** [[spoiler: Sara in part 2]]
| |
| * CrapsackWorld: Nevermind monster girls raping every man in their
| |
| sight, morals and racism are getting more and more rotten in this game.
| |
| [[SarcasmMode Gee, thanks a lot,]] [[KnightOfCerebus Ilias Kreuz!]]
| |
| * CreepyChild: The first impression you will get from Chrome, and
| |
| ItGotWorse. [[spoiler:Black Alice]] is as bad.
| |
| * CreepyDoll: The Cursed Doll in haunted house. As well as Gnome's Mud
| |
| Dolls.
| |
| * CrucifiedHeroShot: One of the preview [=CGs=] for part 3 shows Luka
| |
| being held in such a pose by [[spoiler:angels]] while being raped.
| |
| * CrystalDragonJesus: The religion that worships Ilias.
| |
| * CurbStompBattle: Monsters often tend to underestimate Luka.
| |
| [[spoiler:Especially when he's [[LimitBreak asleep]].]]
| |
| ** Picking a fight with Alice or Tamamo will grant Luka a quick defeat.
| |
| * CuteAndPsycho: [[spoiler:Cupid]] from the end of second chapter, has a
| |
| full dose of {{moe}}, a playful smile, and has way too much fun killing
| |
| monsters.
| |
| * CuteMonsterGirl: The entire game revolves around them.
| |
| ** [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] on the "cute" part for many of them. Some
| |
| are [[{{Moe}} cute]], some are [[HotAsHell sexy]], some are so-so and
| |
| some are downright NightmareFuel.
| |
| * {{Deconstruction}}: Takes every cliche about role playing games and
| |
| their hentai variants, lampshades and mocks every one of them, and then
| |
| takes them apart and shows how it would really work if those cliches
| |
| were actually played for story drama, all the time being very aware of
| |
| how it still plays those cliches straight and often pokes fun at itself.
| |
| * [[DiscOneFinalDungeon Game Two Final Dungeon]]: You reach the monster
| |
| lord castle at the end of the second game in the trilogy.
| |
| * TheDitz: The Kraken at the bottom of the Sea Temple. Unlike most sea
| |
| creatures she's pretty friendly, but has a tendency to jump to
| |
| conclusions, leading to a boss battle. Later hinted that [[spoiler:she
| |
| might not be [[ObfuscatingStupidity so ditzy after all.]]]]
| |
| ** [[StealthPun Sylph is quite an airhead too.]]
| |
| * DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: It is all too easy for Illias to
| |
| accidentally squish your level one arse into paste with her little
| |
| finger in the tutorial if you don't tell her not to.
| |
| * DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: You wouldn't be playing it otherwise.
| |
| In the first chapter alone, Alice forces herself on Luka three times
| |
| (each increasingly intimate), although whether Luka actually has a
| |
| problem with it remains to be seen.
| |
| ** Near the end of Part 2 [[spoiler: they finally have sex. It's still
| |
| presented as rape.]]
| |
| * ElementalPowers: The elemental spirits and the [[FourIsDeath Four
| |
| Heavenly Knights]]. The bandits go for the theme, but don't quite pull
| |
| it off.
| |
| ** BlowYouAway: [[DoubleEntendre Hee.]] Sylph, the great spirit of wind
| |
| and Alma Elma, the [[HornyDevil Succubus]] of the Heavenly Knights.
| |
| ** DishingOutDirt: Gnome, the great spirit of earth and Tamamo, the
| |
| {{Kitsune}} of the Heavenly Knights.
| |
| ** MakingASplash: Undine, the great spirit of water and Erubetie, the
| |
| [[spoiler:[[BlobMonster Slime]]]] of the Heavenly Knights.
| |
| ** PlayingWithFire: Salamander, the great spirit of fire and Granberia,
| |
| the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]] of the Heavenly Knights.
| |
| * EngagementChallenge: Many monster races have some sort of requirement
| |
| before marriage can happen. Luka actually ends up assisting in two
| |
| different ones.
| |
| ** Alice will only marry [[AllAmazonsWantHercules a man stronger than
| |
| her]]. [[spoiler:So Luka qualifies now.]]
| |
| * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Granberia, unbeknownst to her.
| |
| * [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Everything Trying to Rape You]]: Except
| |
| Granberia, as long as you don't lose to her.
| |
| ** The Dragon Pup is also an exception unless you lose, as well - this
| |
| may be the case for all dragons, as they are warriors at heart.
| |
| * ExplosiveBreeder: Harpies are explicitly stated to be an example.
| |
| ** But they got nothing on [[spoiler:the Beelzebubs. If the 3 sealed on
| |
| Selene's ship had broken free, they apparently would have overrun ''the
| |
| entire world'' in short order.]]
| |
| * FakeDifficulty: Prominent in the first game, ''irritatingly'' common
| |
| in the second. Notably, in some battles of Part 2, no matter how
| |
| cautious the player plays, your survival hinges on Sylph's dodge buff -
| |
| [[LuckBasedMission which triggers completely at random]].
| |
| * FakeUltimateHero: Many baptized heroes are in for profit and not being
| |
| so brave. Many characters acknowledge this.
| |
| ** Luka's repeatly called this by Alice. Ironically, he's more heroic
| |
| than any H-Game hero can be.
| |
| * FanNickname: Some have taken to call Luka
| |
| "Luka[[spoiler:[[SuperpoweredEvilSide fer]]]]".
| |
| * FanTranslation: Could almost be considered an adaptation, as the
| |
| translator also tried his best to fix issues with saving the game on
| |
| non-japanese systems.
| |
| * {{Foreshadowing}}: Fairies can only been seen by those with weak faith
| |
| in Illias. [[spoiler: Luka meets several, though there may be
| |
| [[BadassAbnormal other forces at play]].]]
| |
| * FourIsDeath: The Four Heavenly Knights or the Shitennō.
| |
| * FourthWallObserver: A few members of the main cast and recurring
| |
| characters.
| |
| ** Amira the Unfortunate Lamia, and by extension Luka.
| |
| --> '''Luka''': Why is she posing like that?
| |
| --> '''Amira''': I don't have a choice. I only have this one picture.
| |
| Also, in this position, I can keep my eye on the 'skip' button.
| |
| --> '''Luka''': Hey! Don't talk about your own CG!
| |
| ** Alice riducules the character for maintaining a useless technique on
| |
| his skill bar.
| |
| ** There's a scholar in San Illia who mentions that he's found a passage
| |
| in a book stating that anyone who annoys Illias with repeated 'Evalution
| |
| Meetings' will be punished. Of course, he has no idea what that means,
| |
| so it's more like he's just noticed the Fourth Wall.
| |
| ** Ilias is also aware of the Fourth Wall.
| |
| --> '''Ilias''': Remember Luka, I am always watching over you, even on
| |
| the Status Screen!
| |
| * GodOfEvil: The first Monster Lord, whose Alice mention during the
| |
| ''Haunted House'' quest. [[spoiler:Ilias as well.]]
| |
| * GoodIsNotDumb: Luka, in spite of Alice's [[WideEyedIdealist first
| |
| impression]].
| |
| * GoodThingYouCanHeal: The skill you use most throughout the game is
| |
| Meditation, which regenerates half your health.
| |
| * GreyAndGrayMorality: On the one hand, many of the monsters really are
| |
| dangerous, ranging from the simply jerkass to AlwaysChaoticEvil beings
| |
| like the Ropers. On the other, Ilias's religion is driving many species
| |
| to extinction, and even docile monsters like Mermaids are the target of
| |
| pro-Ilias terrorists.
| |
| * GuideDangIt: Some of the fights are ridiculously difficult, or even
| |
| luck-based on the higher difficulties. This is especially frustrating
| |
| with certain enemies who have instant-win attacks that you barely get a
| |
| warning for.
| |
| ** The second Granberia fight. To win, you have to use three out of five
| |
| currently available special attacks, and you have just about enough time
| |
| to build up enough SP to use them. And it's not entirely clear which
| |
| ones you are meant to use. (To be honest, though, moderately obvious
| |
| which specials you are supposed to use, since the three you're supposed
| |
| to use are the only ones that actually cause damage).
| |
| ** Any bind of the "attack to escape" variety. There's little to no
| |
| indication that it will be different than the regular "struggle to break
| |
| free" kind, unless you pay incredible attention to detail (either the
| |
| monster's body type or the text itself).
| |
| ** Then again, Ilias provides a pretty good guide after you lose any
| |
| battle for the first time.
| |
| * HGamePOVCharacter: Type I for Luka.
| |
| ** [[spoiler:Descends into a Type II in the sequel.]]
| |
| * HalfHumanHybrid: Averted. Most children between monster girls and
| |
| human males are monster girls, though a human male may rarely be born.
| |
| There is also a chance that the human male may inherit his mother's
| |
| ability to use magic.
| |
| ** The royal family of Sabasa are descendants of [[spoiler: the Sphinx]].
| |
| ** [[spoiler:Alice can't detect any monster powers in Luka... because
| |
| it's implied he's descended from a fallen angel, not a monster.]]
| |
| * HarderThanHard: Hell difficulty. Only accessible through the
| |
| Encyclopedia, [[FakeDifficulty and the outcome is mostly based on pure
| |
| luck]].
| |
| ** The Mimic, fortunately an optional encounter.
| |
| * HaveANiceDeath: Ilias will always provide helpful advice whenever you
| |
| get a bad end, but, humorously, as time goes on she becomes more and
| |
| more suspicious that you're losing on purpose, and her comments only get
| |
| funnier.
| |
| * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Alice's mother, the previous Monster Lord.
| |
| When heroes approached the castle, she went out alone to meet them
| |
| knowing that they would kill her, but hoping that they'd spread her
| |
| final message of peace to the world. It almost worked.]]
| |
| ** Again with [[spoiler:Alice herself in a deliberate reenactment at the
| |
| end of Part 2, this time with Luka as the hero. More of a
| |
| SelfSacrificeScheme when it's revealed that she's been carrying the
| |
| baggage of her mother's death with her all along. Luka points out that
| |
| it's more of a SenselessSacrifice, since during their travels together,
| |
| they've seen plenty of evidence that the killing will only increase
| |
| afterward.]]
| |
| ** Played straight by the pirate queen Selene. After opening a certain
| |
| box and [[spoiler:unleashing a trio of voracious fly-demons, she threw
| |
| up a barrier around her ship, sealing herself, her crew, and the demons
| |
| within]]. Alice remarks that [[spoiler:given the Beelzebub monster's
| |
| [[ExplosiveBreeder high reproduction rate]]]], this act in all
| |
| likelihood saved the world.
| |
| * HeyYou: Alice initially addresses Luka with [[JapanesePronouns
| |
| 'kisama']]. This is either archaic and very polite or incredibly
| |
| disrespectful and offensive. Given Alice's personality, it could be
| |
| either one (but more likely the latter).
| |
| * HopelessBossFight: Tamamo, and the Sphinx. Both are optional though.
| |
| Played with on numerous occasions when it's made clear that you can't
| |
| actually defeat the boss, you just have to wait out the fight until
| |
| something happens.
| |
| ** Both fights against [[spoiler:Alice]] are optional and unwinnable.
| |
| ** Fights against the four knights always seem hopeless and you usually
| |
| can't defeat them normally.
| |
| *** At the end of Part 2 Luka is finally strong enough to fight them.
| |
| * HowUnscientific: Alice repeatedly says that things like ghosts are
| |
| superstitions and not real. Hearing that from [[spoiler:the Monster
| |
| Lord]] makes it only more ridiculous. Then we find out she is strikingly
| |
| scared of ghosts.
| |
| * IdiotHero: Luka. It's mostly due to a lack of worldly knowledge, however.
| |
| ** HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Luka turns out to be more of a
| |
| KnightInSourArmor that is trying to atone for his father's creation of
| |
| the WellIntentionedExtremist Terrorist group Ilias Kreuz.]]
| |
| * ILoveTheDead: Not by choice. Lose to any of the undead enemies in the
| |
| game and you are (naturally) raped; lose to [[FrankensteinsMonster
| |
| Frederika]] and [[spoiler:you're locked in a dark room with her ''for a
| |
| full year'', being forcefully kept alive and raped every second of every
| |
| day for eternity.]]
| |
| ** Although with the Zombie girls, Luka quickly begins to enjoy the fact
| |
| there's many of them.
| |
| * InTheBlood: The {{Lilith}} sisters hint that Luka may be [[spoiler:a
| |
| descendant of Heinrich]].
| |
| * ItWasWithYouAllAlong: [[spoiler: The Monster Lord]] Though this is
| |
| revealed a lot earlier than one would expect.
| |
| ** [[spoiler: The princess of Sabasa]] as well.
| |
| ** Yet again in part 2 with [[spoiler:the ghost of Selene.]]
| |
| * KarmicDeath: Cassandra. [[spoiler: The monster who devoured hundreds
| |
| of men and even her own daughter is devoured by her own body when Alice
| |
| turns her attack against her. Luka is immobilized during this and thus
| |
| not able to use his usual merciful methods.]]
| |
| * KidHero: Luka. There are also kid ''villains'', the Four Bandits --
| |
| which are, of course, taken all but seriously.
| |
| * KleptomaniacHero: {{Discussed}}. One of the benefits of bring a hero
| |
| blessed by Illias is the ability to go into homes and take stuff.
| |
| --> '''Luka''': Being a Hero has a lot of perks, you know. You get the
| |
| respect of the people, cheap rates at inns, and you can even walk into
| |
| people's houses and take stuff!
| |
| --> '''Alice''': Walk into people's houses and take things...? Are you a
| |
| thief or something?
| |
| --> '''Luka''': [[TakeThatAudience There have been some who have abused
| |
| that privilege. I don't think someone like that is a true hero, though.]]
| |
| * LegalJailbait: Many of the monsters are very young-looking, but are
| |
| OlderThanTheyLook. Most prominently Tamamo.
| |
| * LevelDrain: The Lencubus from the sequel does this if she manages to
| |
| pin you down.
| |
| * LightIsNotGood / LightIsGood: Depends on your opinion of Ilias.
| |
| ** The end of Part 2 answers that question. [[spoiler: [[LightIsNotGood
| |
| It's definitely not good.]]]]
| |
| * LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler: Alice wanted to have sex would Luka, but
| |
| Luka forbade sex with monsters. Then Alice turned herself into a human
| |
| and raped him]].
| |
| ** Hinted in Chrome's profile. She promised Luka she wouldn't experiment
| |
| with corpses again, so she began researching ghosts instead.
| |
| * {{Magitek}}: Used in Grangold Castle. [[spoiler:Provided by Promestein.]]
| |
| * MadScientist: Chrome and Lily.
| |
| * TheManyDeathsOfYou: No rape scene is the same. Every single monster
| |
| girl has different plans for you, with some dragging you off as a slave
| |
| (or even a ''husband''!) rather than raping you to death/eating you.
| |
| ** Also, you can get a game over within two choices, and about five
| |
| lines. How? Ignore a Goddess.
| |
| ** Several monsters have two rape scenes, as well. A few have three.
| |
| ** It's possible to die three times before actually fighting a monster.
| |
| * MayflyDecemberRomance: Any relationship between a monster and human is
| |
| this, unless the monster chooses to seal herself and become a human.
| |
| ** This is PlayedForDrama [[spoiler: with the relationship between the
| |
| first king of Sabasa and TheSphinx. She could have turned him into a
| |
| monster, but he refused. She could have sealed herself into a human and
| |
| died with him, but she was scared of death and that any memory of him
| |
| will be gone from this world. So she [[TakeAThirdOption took a third
| |
| option]] and decided to live without him.]]
| |
| * MermaidProblem: Does not apply; every girl is fully functional,
| |
| although their sexual organs are often somewhat different from those of
| |
| a human. [[RuleOfSexy Not that anyone cares]]. The more human-looking
| |
| monsters, like lamias, are pretty much humans with monster bits tacked
| |
| on, so it makes sense for them to be compatible with humans.
| |
| ** Well, not all of them are ''fully'' functional, but all monsters will
| |
| have at least some way of sexually violating Luka.
| |
| * MonsterLord: Referred to by this name specifically.
| |
| * MoodWhiplash:
| |
| ** The Haunted House subquest swings back-and-forth between the horrors
| |
| of Chrome's reanimated undead, and cute chibi sprites of Alice being
| |
| scared of ghosts.
| |
| ** The good ending of chapter 2 starts off upbeat with [[spoiler:Luka
| |
| declaring Ilias as a monster and the true enemy of humanity, and
| |
| effortlessly dodging her BoltOfDivineRetribution]]. Then it's followed
| |
| by a WhamEpisode.
| |
| * MsFanService: Alice, naturally. She has a stonking great rack, a
| |
| ''very'' shapely form and wears very little in her human form. As well
| |
| as a badass tattoo. She also regularly "milks" Luka.
| |
| ** Not that she wears much more in her monster girl form either, and of
| |
| course a [[UnusualEuphemism flower girl]] asks if she and Alice work in
| |
| the same profession.
| |
| * MultiBoobage: Less than you might expect, although the Tarantula girl
| |
| does have 3 pairs of breasts on the underside of her spider body, as
| |
| well as the pair on her human torso.
| |
| ** The Cerberus in part 2 has 3 pairs of breasts to go with her 3 heads.
| |
| She also has even more nipples below them.
| |
| ** Taken to its logical extreme by the Beelzebubs, whose abdomens are
| |
| covered in many pairs of giant breasts.
| |
| ** The [[spoiler:chimera monsters infesting the ruins of Remelia.]]
| |
| * MultipleEndings: The sequel. [[spoiler:You can either kill Alice to
| |
| fulfill your duty as the Chosen One and hook up with Ilias or spare
| |
| Alice, causing Ilias to turn against you.]]
| |
| ** The former option is a NonStandardGameOver though, since you can't
| |
| continue to the third game with it.
| |
| *** Well duh. How would you be supposed to carry on with the entire last
| |
| third of the trilogy when [[spoiler:you've killed the BigGood and sided
| |
| with the EvilGod]]?
| |
| * NobleDemon: Granberia. She seems to avoid lethal attacks against
| |
| unworthy opponents and despises those who attack the weak.
| |
| * NonindicativeName: The Four Heavenly Knights serve the MonsterLord,
| |
| not [[CrystalDragonJesus Ilias]] like the name implies.
| |
| ** Also, Angel Halo is an ObviouslyEvil ImpossiblyCoolWeapon.
| |
| ** It's called Angel Halo because it's forged from 666 angels fused
| |
| together.
| |
| *** And as an obvious ShoutOut to ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam''.
| |
| ** Also, the Suck Vore's defeat scene isn't actually a vore scene. No,
| |
| seriously.
| |
| * NonMammalMammaries: Plants, spiders and books pretty much all have
| |
| breasts.
| |
| * NonstandardGameOver: Every single lost combat encounter -- yes,
| |
| ''every single one'' -- results in Luka being raped. Sometimes he even
| |
| enjoys it and survives, but many end with him dying of exhaustion,
| |
| dehydration or being eaten.
| |
| ** Well, there's one exception -- if the Sphinx hits you with Kiss of
| |
| Death, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you die]]. [[OneHitKill Instantly.]]
| |
| ** If anything, this is TheManyDeathsOfYou in action. A more accurate
| |
| version of this would be [[spoiler:any of the three deaths you can face
| |
| before the first battle, or picking the wrong gift from Tamamo in the
| |
| cave -- it's not a normal death, but the game's over anyway. The second
| |
| chance you get to fight Alice may also be this as well as it doesn't
| |
| even bother with going into a proper battle.]]
| |
| * NotQuiteBackToNormal: The "Witch Hunt" sidequest involves a witch
| |
| turning human girls into [[NaughtyTentacles tentacled monsters]]. After
| |
| the witch is defeated, Luka apparently "seals" the girls'
| |
| transformations... except not really, and they still can
| |
| [[PartialTransformation sprout]] [[LovecraftianSuperpower tentacles]] at
| |
| will.
| |
| ** Something similar happens with Succubus Village, where Alice's
| |
| revitalizing spell (which she uses to attempt to heal up the men who
| |
| were attacked) accidentally unseals all the Succubi Luka spent the
| |
| entire quest sealing up. Apparently, once someone becomes a monster, the
| |
| change is irreversible, and can only be mitigated at best. This has
| |
| interesting implications in a later sidequest, too.
| |
| * NotSoDifferent: Illias Kreuz's anti-monster terrorist Lazarus to Luka.
| |
| ** A better example would be Luka and [[spoiler:Lily]]. Both were
| |
| outcasts in their own villages, and both were persecuted by others at a
| |
| young age.
| |
| ** As lampshaded later, [[spoiler:Luka and Alice]].
| |
| * ObviouslyEvil: Any sword skill that Alice teaches Luka since they are
| |
| monster skills. Like many other things, this is lampshaded. The
| |
| [[EvilWeapon sword]]([[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon ?]]), Angel Halo, that Alice
| |
| gives Luka early on takes this trope UpToEleven since it is made out of
| |
| [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] [[EyeOfNewt melted angels]].
| |
| ** [[spoiler: Though given [[LightIsNotGood who the angels work for]],
| |
| it might not be so evil.]]
| |
| * OminousSavePrompt: In the translation you can only save at specific
| |
| places, usually before battles. This is due to a technical difficulty
| |
| involving the game engine refusing to play nice with English text. Most
| |
| ways of bypassing this problem can result in save corruption, so the
| |
| translator put these in mostly for convenience's sake. The fact that
| |
| they double as a battle warning is just a pleasant side-effect.
| |
| * OutOfTheInferno: The [[ImplacableMan Chimera Dryad]] after being hit
| |
| with Alice's Omega Fire spell. OhCrap ensues.
| |
| * OutWithABang: Even the monsters that only want to eat Luka have sex
| |
| with him before doing so (Or even while doing so).
| |
| * PaletteSwap: The uncorrupted Elf you meet in Sylph's forest uses the
| |
| same model as the Dark Elf Fencer you met earlier in the game, although
| |
| they changed a few details like the clothes, hairsyle and weapon, as
| |
| well as the obvious skin tone shift. Even the hentai CG is the exact
| |
| same pose.
| |
| ** More prominent in the sequel, where single-color translucent
| |
| silhouettes of monster girls are presented in various parts.
| |
| * PoorCommunicationKills:
| |
| ** One of the reasons for the decline in human-monster relations in
| |
| recent times.
| |
| ** The reason for the boss fight with the Kraken, thanks to the fact
| |
| that she is TheDitz.
| |
| ** Despite appearing near the very end of the first game, Gnome can be
| |
| seen hitting Sylph twice before that game's end. Her profile notes that
| |
| she just doesn't know how to express her feelings (and Sylph still
| |
| considers her as her best friend).
| |
| *** To be fair, [[ButtMonkey the other spirits pick on her too.]]
| |
| * PornWithPlot: It's not hard to find fans that would play this game
| |
| without any sex scenes. A search for people who would prefer it like
| |
| that is currently underway.
| |
| * PressXToDie: Surprisingly often, though occasionally,
| |
| StupidityIsTheOnlyOption is played straight instead. It all depends
| |
| whether or not the morally right choice is the only logical choice or an
| |
| illogical one.
| |
| ** There also is the "suicide for fun" variety in that you can request a
| |
| monster to use an attack on you until you are defeated. This however is
| |
| reserved for replaying the game or choosing a fight from the
| |
| encyclopedia and sometimes invokes a sexy or snarky comment from the
| |
| monster at hand as well.
| |
| * PublicDomainSoundtrack: Several pieces of music in the game are famous
| |
| pieces of classical music:
| |
| ** Amira the Unfortunate Lamia's theme is
| |
| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montagues_and_Capulets Profokiev's
| |
| "Montagues and Capulets"/"Dance of the Knights"]] from his ballet of
| |
| ''RomeoAndJuliet''.
| |
| ** The theme of San Ilia Castle is
| |
| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnes,_Op._9_%28Chopin%29 Chopin's
| |
| "Nocturne In E-Flat Major, Op.9 No.2"]].
| |
| ** The Sabasa Castle theme is
| |
| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Hope_and_Glory Elgar's "Land of
| |
| Hope and Glory"]] from his ''Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1''.
| |
| * PuzzleBoss: Several encounters boil down to this, and a majority of
| |
| fights require you to perform certain actions (especially once you have
| |
| Sylph and Gnome's abilities, which can block instant-death attacks and
| |
| let you escape from binds more quickly respectively). Granberia is the
| |
| most common opponent to be fought like this.
| |
| * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Several of the more powerful monsters are
| |
| this, most notably Tamamo. Alice and Granberia, however, are
| |
| subversions. Everyone (including Luka) thinks they have to be a couple
| |
| centuries old, at least, but in the second game they're revealed to be
| |
| only twenty-two and twenty-five respectively.
| |
| * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In the second game, the plant and insect
| |
| monsters of Plansect Forest are in the middle of a civil war. After
| |
| talking to the plant monsters, Luka carves his way to the leader of the
| |
| insects and seals her. [[spoiler:The plants then start killing the
| |
| defeated insects, claiming it is their right as victors]]. Luka goes
| |
| ballistic, and seals ''everyone''.
| |
| * SaveThePrincess: Even Luka calls it a cliche. [[spoiler: Subverted
| |
| since the princess wasn't kidnapped in the first place and is actually a
| |
| BadassPrincess. Played straight, when the reason for Sara's crush on the
| |
| dragon, Granberia, becomes apparent, which Luka '''also''' calls cliche.]]
| |
| ** [[spoiler: Of course, BadassPrincess or not, Sara is a great deal
| |
| weaker than the superhuman Luka, so you're still mostly on your own.
| |
| Nevermind not nearly as well-equipped.]]
| |
| *** [[spoiler: You even get an achievement if you somehow manage to get
| |
| Sara kill a monster.]]
| |
| ** [[spoiler:Played straight in the second game where she actually
| |
| ''is'' kidnapped by monsters and you have to rescue her.]]
| |
| * SchmuckBait: The Imp. It's so weak (especially compared to Luka) that
| |
| she actually offers sexual favours to Luka as a ''bribe'' to not hurt
| |
| her. However, if you allow her to actually have sex with Luka,
| |
| [[WhatAnIdiot she catches him in an inescapable attack and defeats him,
| |
| mocking him for being so stupid as to lose to someone as weak as her.]]
| |
| * ScreenShake: Strong attacks give the screen a good dosing of this,
| |
| usually accompanied by a loud crash.
| |
| * SdrawkcabName: Amira the Lamia. The kana used for lamia in Japanese is
| |
| ラミア (ramia). Reverse the order and you get
| |
| アミラ (amira).
| |
| * SequelDifficultySpike: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Part 1 can
| |
| be linked to (and played through) in Part 2 as a double campaign, and
| |
| once Part 3 is released, you will be able to link all three parts
| |
| together into one huge storyline.
| |
| %% ShoutOut moved to the trivia tab. %%
| |
| * SingleGenderRace: All monster girls, obviously.
| |
| * SlapSlapKiss: For all the abuse Luka has to suffer from Alice, she is
| |
| actually rather fond of him, and he warms up to her as well.
| |
| [[spoiler:By the end of the sequel, they're more or less a couple.]]
| |
| * SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Just to ''really'' mess with the
| |
| player's mind, the one and only human-on-human h-scene is by far the
| |
| most jarring in the whole game. It's not just the contrast with the
| |
| monster girl sex previously... it's also the fact that the girl isn't
| |
| into guys in the first place.
| |
| ** Debatable. [[spoiler:Sara]] fell in love with Granberia because
| |
| [[IOweYouMyLife she saved her]] and because she admires her strength.
| |
| Luka's comments give the impression that she hasn't even ''considered''
| |
| the fact that they're both girls. Or possibly she's just [[BiTheWay bi]].
| |
| * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: It's pretty convenient for Luka that that the
| |
| first two elementals, Sylph and Gnome, are lacking at combat experience.
| |
| Sylph, the first one, even has no offensive ability.
| |
| ** Luka promptly lampshades it, when it's subverted with one of the
| |
| Heavenly Knights appearing in the first city he visits.
| |
| * TheSphinx: Who, of course, uses The RiddleOfTheSphinx. Even Luka
| |
| Lampshades how everyone knows the answer to that riddle. [[spoiler: The
| |
| riddle is used to illustrate how [[WeAreAsMayflies short the human
| |
| life]] is compared to a monsters and the issues of a
| |
| MayflyDecemberRomance.]]
| |
| * StoryBreakerPower: If Luka fought asleep all the time he would never
| |
| lose. Is actually invoked by Alice [[spoiler: when the Kraken creates an
| |
| impenetrable shield. Luka's Superpowered Sleeping Side smashes it in one
| |
| attack.]]
| |
| ** By the end of the sequel, Luka is already more powerful than his
| |
| sleeping self in the first game ever was, stronger than even Alice,
| |
| meaning that no monster on the face of the planet could defeat him.
| |
| [[spoiler:Of course, Ilias's angels and Black Alice's archfiends and
| |
| elite monsters are also stronger than regular monsters, so it kind of
| |
| evens out. That his strength is heavily reliant on summoning the
| |
| elementals may also be countered by the artificial elementals his
| |
| enemies are making.]]
| |
| ** Explained in chapter 2: [[spoiler:Using Lukafer mode in excess will
| |
| eventually consume Luka and turn him into a being of pure holy energy.]]
| |
| * SuperDeformed:
| |
| ** The elementals have this as one of their poses.
| |
| ** The Four Bandits as well.
| |
| ** Even Alice, but only when she's really, really scared.
| |
| ** Tamamo has one near the end.
| |
| * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: If Luka ever happens to fall asleep,
| |
| RUN.]]
| |
| ** Though it is powerful, there is no proof that it's actually evil.
| |
| Then again, it does use skills like [[spoiler:FallenAngel Dance,
| |
| Heavenly Demon Revival, and Nine Fold
| |
| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakshasa Rakshasa]], so...]]
| |
| *** It's also tied by the weapon he uses, which guarantees that he can't
| |
| kill anyone.
| |
| * SupervillainLair: Luka's surprised the monster Lord's castle does look
| |
| pretty normal. Alice then asks [[{{LampshadeHanging}} why she would
| |
| choose to live in an unpleasant looking place]].
| |
| * SwallowedWhole: There are so many vore scenes that the game gives you
| |
| the option to turn them off. Special mention goes to the Suck Vore though.
| |
| * SwordOfPlotAdvancement: Parodied with the Goddess Sword. Alice
| |
| politely shows how useless it is to Luka by shattering it, so Luka
| |
| doesn't have to go through the trouble of getting the blessing of the
| |
| three sages. Played straight, however, with the [[MayContainEvil Angel]]
| |
| [[SelectivelyLethalWeapon Halo]] [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Blade]].
| |
| * TakingYouWithMe: When she realizes she's losing her battle with Luka,
| |
| [[spoiler: Erubetie grabs hold and prepares to turn herself into a
| |
| hydrogen bomb (!) to take him down. He does manage to talk her out of it.]]
| |
| * TenchiSolution: How the Harpy Village quest is resolved.
| |
| * TestosteronePoisoning: The King of Sabasa. He looks like a blonde,
| |
| bearded [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Bang Shishigami]]!
| |
| * TheThemeParkVersion: In-universe example. As the story progresses,
| |
| Luka realizes how much the legend of hero Heinrich was distorted. For
| |
| example, [[spoiler:his WeaponOfChoice was the Angel Halo, not Goddess
| |
| Sword.]]
| |
| * TookALevelInBadass: The Crab Girl comes back in chapter two for a
| |
| rematch, mentioning that she's been training ever since her previous
| |
| sealing so as to defeat Luka.
| |
| * {{Tsundere}}:
| |
| ** Alice. She starts to slide into DefrostingIceQueen territory fairly
| |
| quickly though, and she's more of a JerkAss than just plain cruel.
| |
| ** Granberia becomes this in chapter two. Lose to her, and she'll start
| |
| blushing before she rapes him. In fact, the whole H-scene feels like one
| |
| big deredere moment for Granberia, especially the way it ends.
| |
| ** Luka toward Alice as well.
| |
| * TheUnchosenOne: Luka fails to become an official hero within minutes
| |
| of the game. It doesn't stop him from trying to slay the MonsterLord and
| |
| achieve his dream of trying to bring peace between monsters and humans.
| |
| ** Made even more interesting in that Ilias always reminds Luka that he
| |
| IS TheChosenOne, even though her absence was the very reason he didn't
| |
| become an official hero.
| |
| *** Later explained that [[spoiler: Ilias purposefully left him
| |
| unbaptized to see if an unbaptized Hero could kill the Monster Lord
| |
| without being tempted by the monsters.]]
| |
| * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Using the Quadruple Giga against the Imp or
| |
| Tamamo. One is the ''weakest'' enemy in both parts and will stand still
| |
| absolutely terrified of the building power of the skill. The other will
| |
| be so weakened that she won't be able to put up any defense and a normal
| |
| attack will be enough to defeat her.
| |
| ** To elaborate, the imp will be at first confused of you using so much
| |
| magic against her, then she will be frightened the moment she
| |
| understands what are you about to do, and in the final moments, she will
| |
| try to run away from you.
| |
| ** "''Even the imp's scream is sealed''"
| |
| * UselessUsefulSpell: Undine and Salamander. Completely useless when you
| |
| get them and even after their first upgrades they still have huge downsides.
| |
| ** Once you get their ''second'' upgrades, however, they become {{Game
| |
| Breaker}}s- or they ''would'' be if you weren't by that stage fighting
| |
| opponents powerful enough to NEED it!
| |
| * VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Imp, meet Quadruple Giga. You even get an
| |
| achievement for it.
| |
| ** You can also use it on Tamamo and [[spoiler:Alice]] while they are down.
| |
| * WhamEpisode: The end of the second chapter, [[spoiler:Ilias finally
| |
| shows her insane side and is going to destroy both the humans and the
| |
| monsters. Turns out that high-rank monsters can't even scratch angels,
| |
| the Four Heavenly Knights get badly beaten by special Chimera Beasts,
| |
| and Promestein effortlessly avoids Luka's attack using an artificial
| |
| version of Sylph. In other words, the heavenly forces are on a
| |
| completely different level than everything you've seen so far.]]
| |
| * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Sara]] is last seen following
| |
| Granberia to the Monster Lord's castle. She is not mentioned again.
| |
| * WhatTheHellPlayer: Ilias's general reaction as you [[HaveANiceDeath
| |
| come to see her]] more and more often.
| |
| * [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts?]]: Alice has a
| |
| crippling fear of ghosts.
| |
| * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Lazarus]], unexpectedly, once you
| |
| learn his backstory.
| |
| * YouDontWantToDieAVirginDoYou: Near the end of the second chapter,
| |
| Alice finally decides that since Luka's about to walk into the most
| |
| dangerous place on the planet, she might as well do away with his
| |
| TechnicalVirgin status. Not that she really gives him any choice.
| |
| [[spoiler:Turns out she was applying this to herself as well]].
| |
| * YouHaveResearchedBreathing: Alice teaches Luka how to meditate to help
| |
| Luka focus his mind in battle. She mentions how FallenAngel Erigora had
| |
| the ability to heal his wounds with meditation, but lampshades how
| |
| obvious of a lie it is. To her amazement, fear, and utter bewilderment,
| |
| [[DoubleSubverted meditation actually]] [[{{Foreshadowing}} does heal
| |
| Luka's wounds.]]
