Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} ''Gadget Trial'' is a PC game released in 2006 by Kogado's Kuma-san Team. Referred to as a fusion of [[Advance Wars]] and mecha musume, it is one part turn based tactics simulation and one part [[Visual Novel]]. Line 6: Research and development has yielded two main types: Type Black, which have no aspects of human personality and are designed to be ruthless battle machines, and Type White, designed with human personalities. In order to decide which type to mass produce for the military, the top brass has decided to hold a series of trial battles between a Type White team and a Type Black team. The player character (Major Shitoshi Mihara) takes control of the Type White team, and must lead the personalities under his command to victory in the trials. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Gadget Trial provides examples of the following tropes: ===~~ * [[A Commander Is You\|A Mihara Is You]] * [[A -Cup Angst]]: Yu-ri is the flattest (and most envious of Nei and Souka), while Izen is a borderline case. * [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Granted, the dresses you can buy with the girls' kills gives certain strengths and weaknesses. * [[Anti-Air]]: Yu-ri's AA unit, Continental Army AA, and AA Turrets later on. Line 45: Nei: [[Shizuka Itou]] Souka: [[Ryoko Shintani]] Yu-ri: Rika Morinaga (voices [[Rozen Maiden\|Hinaichigo]] and [[Saki (~~Manga~~manga)\|Kana Ikeda]], among others) Hisoka: [[Kaori Nazuka]] ** Major Yuuki Wakabayashi: Minako Sango (best known as Mai Momoi from the [[Futakoi]] series) * [[~~Improbably-~~Fundamentally Female Cast]]: All of the E-Series units are gynoids. Izen [[Hangs a Lampshade]] on this. * [[Informed Ability]]: Souka is good with math and crack decision-making (a requirement for [[Real Life]] pilots), and Izen is a musclehead. * [[Kill Sat]]: there is an installation that gives the player (or the enemy, whoever got to control it first) the ability to launch one large-area [[Kill Sat]] attack that hits for 50 damage (all units have 100 life) regardless of terrain defense bonus and can be dropped on any place in the map. There are only a few such installation per map, thankfully. Line 54: * [[Magic Tool]]: Medic-Izen's ''giant syringe'' can repair anything from other Izens to ''battleship'' configuration Hisoka. Granted, they were all made out of some kind of biometal or something. * [[Robot Girl]]: The E-Series are at least partly biological versions of this trope. * [[Shout-Out]]: Fairly obvious references are made to [[Rambo]] and [[~~The A-Team (TV)\|~~The A-Team]], among others. ** So far, this troper has identified also [[Firefox]], [[Jules Verne\|Facing the Flag]], [[The Hunt for Red October]] and [[ER]], plus an unidentified mecha anime. * [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Played with. Tanks, ''[[APCs]], Helicopters, Carrier Hovercrafts, and Scouts'' does heavy damage to infantry, Artillery-based units (SP Artillery, Rockets, and Battleships) generally does heavy damage to other land units (including their own kind), and Bombers kill them all. Bombers, however, are defeated by Anti-Aircraft and Fighters, with Fighters also succumbing to [[A As]]. Submarines are strong against naval units (even other subs) but is weak against bombers. * [[Taking You ~~With~~with Me]]: {{spoiler\|Both Major Wakabayashi and General Wong}} attempt this {{spoiler\|in the last mission: Wakabayashi to avenge the sting of defeat at the player's hands, and Wong is willing to sacrifice the Type White units in order to keep the Type Silver data from being released to the world. Luckily, the Type White team manages an escape.}} * [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Wakabayashi. First in her class in the academy, gorgeous long black hair, and a [[Spirited Competitor]] {{spoiler\|who gets all sore loser for her defeats and finally defects to the mainland near the end of the game}}. * [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]: Yu-ri. Why else would a series of gynoids have a short flat chested girl with a cutesy [[Verbal Tic]] within their ranks? * [[Verbal Tic]]: Yu-ri: "... na no desu!" ** Izen: "Oho...?" * [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Most of the main cast averts this by having more or less normal-colored hair, but Hisoka (pale green with a tinge of blue), the Silver Team ([[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin\|well duh]]), and Mihara (a very dark blue) plays it straight. General Wong's gray hair is arguably due to her age. * [[Zerg Rush]]: Many scenarios pit you against enemies with quite a numerical and production advantage, and they are prone to deploying lots of infantry units to try and capture your structures. * [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: primarily Nei in her human form, but the others have at least one equipment setup that has [[Zettai Ryouiki]] by virtue of stockings or high-rising leg protector. {{reflist}} [[Category:Turn -Based Strategy]] [[Category:Gadget Trial]]
