Battle Moon Wars: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

[[Battle Moon Wars]] is a [[Doujin]] game made by the group Werk. It is, as the name suggests, a [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche|Pastiche]] in the style of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''.

Take the three major facets of the ''[[Nasuverse]]'': ''[[Tsukihime]]'', ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' and ''[[~~Karano~~ 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 levels --or several of them ''existing'' together-- be damned!). Yes, even Phantasmoon stealing her staff from Caster is from the [http://img157.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kc330042vb8.jpg official artbooks.]

Line 13:

Contains the following tropes:

* [[All There in the Manual]]: You ''have'' read/seen ''[[~~Karano~~ 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.

Actually, the game is pretty good at explaining the major bits, but the sheer [[Backstory]] is overwhelming.

** For example, the reason that Saber was able to defeat {{spoiler|Nrvsnqr is because his mage self was resurrected as well as his vampire self, and had extended his reality marble with his magic. However, in the [[Nasuverse]], an old famous sword can rip apart magic by having history. Old swords really don't get more famous than Excalibur. Boost that with a Command Seal backed Noble Phantasm; and his magic didn't have a chance.}} Even more telling is the [[Word of God]] via interview that Saber's Excalibur as the type of attack that is able to {{spoiler|kill Nrvsnqr, apparently because it has the sheer power to be able to kill all his lives in one shot.}}

* [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler|Quite a few, actually ; after all, Kuu wants to save the world, and some characters wouldn't have followed her if she was fully evil. Apart from her, Caster just wants to find Kuzuki, Kiritsugu and Iris are mainly here to see how their children are doing, Aoko is her usual [[Chaotic Neutral]] self, Ilya doesn't really care and helps the heroes on several occasions, and Archer...well.}}

Line 56:

* [[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]], [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Takamachi, Fate Testarossa, Vita and Signum]], [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Sakura Kinomoto and Keroberos]], and currently on the plan... ''[[Touhou]]'' characters.

** 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 ''[[~~Karano~~ 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}}.

** In fact, the [[Fate/stay night]] crew are ''unable'' to recognize that SHIKI is not actually Shinji Matou; something to his extreme irritation. "Stop calling me that!"

* [[Fandom Nod]]: One of the oldest unanswered questions in the Nasuverse fandom is the question of whether Arcueid could beat Gilgamesh and vice versa. Guess who picks a fight with who in Acts 3 and 4?

Line 143:

** {{spoiler|Getting every single Battle Mastery, then beating Stage 53 and creating a [[New Game+]] will allow you to use Saber's and Kohaku's [[Magical Girl]] forms, Saber Lily and Magical Amber.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: ''Tons.'' Every [[Mook]] is a shout out to some anime, game, or show. Plus several characters attacks are [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to [[Super Robot Wars]] and other Mecha shows, here's just some of them.

** Takumi is a walking shout out to Sanger Zonvolt, complete with '''[[BFS|A SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL!]]''' He also visually resembles [[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team|Shiro Amada]].

*** Berserker viewing Takumi as a [[Worthy Opponent]] wouldn't be remarkable in and of itself...except that one of his attack animations copies the style of [[Evil Twin|Wodan Ymir]]'s Colossal Blade.

** Haruna's second attack (before it was updated in the Perfect Edition) is a near imitation of Ibis Douglas's RaMV attack.
