''[http://freedroid.sourceforge.net/ Freedroid RPG]'' is an Open Source [[Role
{{tropelist}}
* [[
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]:
*
** Chainsaw is cool, but best used to trade away. Thanks to being two-handed, taking only slightly less space in inventory than Antique Greatsword and lowest Durability ever, combined with very high rate of attacks (which gives average DPS slightly above Antique Greatsword, but makes it wear very quickly).
* [[BFG]]: Aforementoned The Super Exterminator!!! and Barret M82.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Engel Fleischer (Angel Butcher) and his brother Geist (Ghost)
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: The ''very first quest of the game'' requires you to help the leader of the Red Guard commit mass murder.
** Unless you opt to {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Stupidity|pretend you're a complete ditz]]}}. This approach works when dealing with Red Guard in other cases too.
** As of version .15, you ''have'' to side with [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|the Red Guard]] in order to reach the endgame.
** There are plans to avert it and let the player character join the resistance.
* [[Breakable Weapons]]: Weapons got Durability stat.
* [[Cast
* [[Crapsack World]]: The Red Guard taxes and oppresses the population into oblivion, the only food is carcinogenic MREs (despite the presence of a trained chef, whose cooking apparatus was used as fuel by the Guard), and of course, there are the hordes of killer robots.
* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: [[Made of Explodium|Quite dramatically.]]
* [[Design
** [[Socketed Equipment]]: You can use bits of your enemies to upgrade your equipment.▼
* [[Escort Mission]]: {{spoiler|Tania}} who you have to escort from {{spoiler|her}} underground fortress to the town, past many extremely deadly robots.
* [[Fan Remake]]: Of ''Paradroid'' and, to some extent, ''Fallout''.
* [[Game Within a Game]]: Several. There is the [[Hacking Minigame|Hacking mini-game]], several [[Betting Minigame|betting games]], a pseudo-[[Nethack
* [[Give Me Your Inventory Item]]: Occasionally.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: 420 [[Meaningful Name|"Coward"]]
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Engel sometimes uses some German words, and Geist uses only German.
Line 23 ⟶ 30:
* [[Hero-Tracking Failure]]: 139's plasma bullets, which will hit you only if you stand still or run straight towards it. May also happen with you while wielding a plasma weapon.
* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: It's ''Paradroid''.
* [[Human Aliens]]: Averted. The [[Shout
* [[Karl Marx Hates Your Guts]]: Venders pay you 30% of what the item is worth, but charge at least 100%...
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill the Poor]]: {{spoiler|The Red Guard want to abandon the poor, eldery and weak civilains still in cyrosleep to certain death in order to increase power efficiency in the town.}}
* [[Last of His Kind]]: It's implied that the player character is the only alive Linarian.
* [[Made of Explodium]]: The player character.
* [[Marathon Level]]: {{spoiler|Hell Factory}}
* [[Mega Corp]]: MegaSys, which has logos on nearly everything.
* [[Money Spider]]: Droids drop "circuits" which conveniently happen to be the currency used, as well as [[Vendor Trash|other items]].
* [[No Hero Discount]]: Well, you do seem to be their only customer. Even if you {{spoiler|save Stone's shop}} you are charged full price.
Line 37 ⟶ 44:
* [[Overheating]]: Casting too much spells may end with this.
* [[Plot Coupon]]: Used in many places, such as the {{spoiler|dilithium crystals}} which must be [[Fetch Quest|retrieved]] from an abandoned mine.
* [[Ridiculously
* [[Robo Speak]]: All droids deliver a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] before attacking, not from sound files but from an actual voice synth built into the game. Notable are "First Law Disabled", "Slice, Slice, Slice", and "Redmond, we have a problem".
* [[Shout
** The main character is Tux, the Linux mascot.
** The game contains a few references to [[Nethack]]. It even includes a quasi-[[Nethack
** Richard, *nix admin living in town mentions Pandora, an open-source handheld, currently in development.
** Some citizens are represented by guys in red hats, a [[Shout
* [[Slept Through the Apocalypse]]
▲* [[Socketed Equipment]]: You can use bits of your enemies to upgrade your equipment.
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Somewhat literally; as in ''Paradroid'', stronger robots have higher ID numbers. That is, if you see a 123 it's "free EXP time!", a 139 (which is the only low-level robot with a ranged weapon) it's "Oh no, kill it!", a 249 (which wields a machine gun) is "OMG KILL IT!!", and a 302 is "*splat*" (unless you hack it). You find higher-level droids as you venture farther from town.
** 296 is a notable exception - despite being a 2xx type, it's harder to beat than some 4xx robots because of loads of HP AND powerful melee attacks.
** 139 and 247 (once you can hack it too) are something you may like to see: they are easy to capture without being hit (139 has long pauses between [[Painfully-Slow Projectile|slow shots]], and 247 is melee-only), common enough that they are easy to collect in swarms and replace, make decent cannon fodder for their level, and aren't slow.
* [[Thriving Ghost Town]]: Very odd and extreme. The only town currently in the game has a population of about ten, but has enough space to hold maybe fifty. An NPC claims it contains a population around 250, and that there isn't any food. Huh.
* [[Undefeatable Little Village]]: Lampshaded.
* [[We Buy Anything]]: You can sell everything. Even guns, which are forbidden.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Paradroid]]'' meets ''[[Fallout]]''.
