Take the three major facets of the ''[[Nasuverse]]'': ''[[Tsukihime]]'', ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' and ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]''. Then mix them together into a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]], and add a duo of [[Original Generation|original characters]] on top. Through four acts, what starts as a not-so simple maidnapping explodes into a new Grail War, as one by one, a mysterious enemy is bringing back defeated villains from Nasuverse past, with shiny new power boosts to boot.
Battle Moon Wars is notable for successfully blending Nasuverse canon together, and pulling together a unique story of its own ([[Word of God]] about power

{{tropelist}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: You ''have'' read/seen ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]'', played the Heaven's Feel version of ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' (which was ''not'' [[Road Cone|in the anime]]), played ''[[Melty Blood]]'', played ''Fate/Hollow Ataraxia'', played ''Kagetsu Tohya'', and read ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', right? Actually, the game is pretty good at explaining the major bits, but the sheer [[Backstory]] is overwhelming.
Line 53:
* [[Evil Twin]]: Shiki Nanaya is one of the beings brought to life by the incident. Ciel speculates he's a Tatari clone, but Shiki thinks he's [[Enemy Without|something]] [[Enemy Within|more]]. Note, he uses a knife similar to Shiki Ryougi's; not Seven Nights and cannot see the Lines of Death like the one from the ''[[Melty Blood]]'' games; this is a more direct reference to the ''Kagetsu Tohya'' version.
** Later, after learning how to overcome his darkness and defeating that Nanaya, Shiki ''does'' fight a copy of Nanaya; and notes how it was much weaker than his previous nemesis. Also, Tatari later states it can't be a Master, and Nanaya was Archer's Master.
* [[Expansion Pack]]: A Fan-made [[Expansion Pack]] named [http://bmw.seiha.org/viewtopic.php?t=135&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 'Battle Moon Wars: After The Tale'] is in construction. It features non-[[Type Moon]] characters such as [[Shakugan no Shana|Shana]], [[
** Not to mention a generic enemy that...well, has a very [[School Days|NICE BOAT]].
* [[Expy]]: The fact that several characters are Expies of each other is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a few times, such as when Touko points out that Shiki Tohno is very similar in appearance to Mikiya Kokutou (from ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]'') and Rin remarks that Kohaku and Sakura are similar, as they both share [[Yandere]] tendencies and {{spoiler|a history of sexual abuse}}.
Line 92:
** Phantasmoon: If you're ever lonely, Ciel, come over and we'll play.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: When Arcueid ''stops'' being a [[Magical Girl]] is when she shows off her true power.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Although Takumi and Saber, as Super characters, can't dodge as well as the likes of Shiki or Lancer, but their high HP, toughness, movement range allows them to tank at the frontlines with the sweepers unlike some of the [[Mighty Glacier
* [[Mad Scientist]]: In this game it is [[Canon]] that Kohaku constructs Mecha-Hisui's in her secret lair under the Tohno mansion.
* [[Magical Girl]]: ''Two'' of them. Arcueid, after watching too much anime, decides to become one. Thus the Magical Girl Phantasmoon is born. She takes Len as her sidekick. And of course, Rin, to her horror, gets stuck with her Kaleido Ruby alter ego again...
Line 110:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] : Kohaku: "I don't recognize the name 'Excalibur', I'm just not good with history!" [[Cough-Snark-Cough|:CoughyeahrightCough:]]
* [[Odd Couple]]: [[Yandere|Kohaku]] ends up being [[Lady of War|Saber's]] new Master.
** One of the underlying themes in Fate/stay night was that Masters tended to summon Servants who lead similar lives to their own. This troper thought it was a neat [[Lucky Translation]], or whatever its equivalent is for [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover
*** The game itself explores this. Saber killed off her emotions as a woman to become "The King" while Kohaku killed off her emotions to become "The Doll." Both wish there was another way.
* [[One Stat to Rule Them All]]: One of the ways of undermining the risks of using the [[Glass Cannon|glass cannons]] is to pump BP into Quick (which, in conjunction with your base Evade, determines how successful you'll be at avoiding enemy attacks). As a lot of these characters have high Quick values to begin with, their fragility becomes a non-issue once their dodge rate approaches 100% (usually around 160+ Quick). The Shikis also gain Perfect Evade based on Will increase.
