Cthulhu Saves the World: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Absurdly High Level Cap]]: As seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT6A2Ew1fT8 this video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpZ3N8cN260 this other one] (ATTENTION: Final boss spoilers in both videos!), there is no such thing as a level cap in this game. Even though new skills stop being obtained and upgraded at level 40, you can keep gaining stats as long as you keep gaining experience. The amount of experience needed to level up doesn't even go up after that point, you always need 99999 experience points to go up a level.

* [[Affectionate Parody]]

* [[After Combat Recovery]]: All HP and a partial amount of MP is restored after each battle.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: In ''Cthulhu's Angels'', {{spoiler|Normal Umi gets her usual blue-haired portrait, but Dark Umi has silver hair.}}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: If you can beat {{spoiler|Dem}} in the main game, he'll join your party. Played straight ''and'' subverted in ''Cthulhu's Angels'': {{spoiler|Dark Umi}} is a mandatory recruit and {{spoiler|Sara takes Dem's place as the [[Bonus Boss]]}}. Subverted with {{spoiler|Dacre and Ember}}: since this is a different story than that of the main campaign, events unfold somewhat differently...

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Punch Out]] {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|AZATHOTH?]]}}

* Dronejam: There's an area where there's [[NP Cs]] permanently stationed in front of a bunch of doors, and you can't get in no matter what. If you talk with the [[NP Cs]], they just say "sorry, you're not allowed inside". Eventually after talking to one, your party members will say to themselves that there's probably nothing behind the doors anyway and that the developers are obviously doing it just to mess with you.

{{quote| '''October:''' Pain. What I feel when I bleed in the dark recesses of my soul. I linger in the light but yearn for the darkness.}}

** Played with in Cthulhu's Angels during {{spoiler|the final encounter with the Narrator. October gives a heartfelt rant about how her life has been nothing but tragedy after tragedy because the Narrator felt the need to be artistic.}}

* [[Face Palm]]: Cthulhu does this a lot.

{{quote| '''Cthulhu:''' I just like insane things. Is that a problem?}}

* [[Healing Checkpoint]]: Save points fully replenish your mana.

* {{spoiler|[[Hostile Show Takeover]]}}: {{spoiler|At the end of Cthulhu's Angel's, the party usurps The Narrator to take back control of their own fate.}}

* [[Interactive Narrator]]

* [[Lampshading]]: One of the early bosses has "Has a much higher max HP now than he will in a couple minutes." Sure enough, after he [[Defeat Equals Friendship|joins your party]], his max hp drops to a tenth of what it was.

* [[Retreaux]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: ''Lots''.

** [[Bad Dudes|"The city of Dunwitch has been taken over by undead monsters! Are there any dudes bad enough to rescue the city?"]]

** Two enemies in the Ghost Forest are [[Alvin and The Chipmunks|witch doctors and chipmunk hordes.]]

** The zombie tunic is the same color as [[Minecraft]] zombies' shirt/pants.

** The blurb for Specters says that they've [[Mass Effect|definitely never been in space]].

** One of the skill-raising chests contains "[[The Lord of the Rings|rings of power]]".

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: {{spoiler|Umi in ''Chtulhu's Angels'', as a result of a curse.}}

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: No shirt can contain the awesomeness that is Chtulhu!

* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to the Commentary, the towns' pubs were originally going to contain a [[Dating Sim]] minigame between Cthulhu and Umi, but time constraints forced this to be scrapped. Sidequests for each optional dungeon were also planned, but again, time constraints meant that only the first one got a sidequest, and the rest were purely optional treasure hunts similar to those in [[Breath of Death VII]].

** They show up one more time in the PC version, towards the very end, as [[Villain Forgot to Level Grind|strong as the first time]]. They only show up one time in ''Cthulhu's Angels''... {{spoiler|but the female of their number is the second Angel, recruited on the starting beach.}}

** You never find out exactly who cursed Cthulhu at the start of the game. The game makes a point about him being a mysterious man, then never bothers to tell you who he is.
