'''''[[Ragnarok Battle Offline]]''''' is a [[Beat'Em Up]] [[Fighting Game]] made by doujin developer French-Bread. Designed as a homage and a spoof of the [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ''[[Ragnarok Online]]'', it is notable in that it is amongst one of the few fan-made [[Spin-Off]] games that have been given an official release by the developers of the original game.
Or all the fun of [[Ragnarok Online]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|except offline and as a]] [[Fighting Game]].
 
Given its origins, the story can be best summed up with a [[Plot What Plot]]? You take control of one of 14 different adventurers (seven classes (Swordsman, Archer, Acolyte, Magician, Merchant, Thief, Novice) with a male and a female variant of each class) and you go and... beat up monsters.

{{Tropelist}}
 
=== Tropes that apply to it: ===
 
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: Male Merchant can do a hip press.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Plenty of monsters are invulnerable except for that one spot. Most notably, the Scorpions.
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]: Jakk of Stage 4, Geffen Dungeon, wears a tuxedo, top hat and uses a cane to fight you.
* [[Beating a Dead Player]]: Actually you can use it to learn and understand the pattern of the enemy, boss that creamed you. Sadly this is especially useful on the Stage 8 or Arena Modes...
* [[Boss Rush]]: Stage 8 is this. Hope you memorized all bosses pattern.
Line 67 ⟶ 61:
** The second one contains the Lutie Toy Factory, the Pyramid, and the Sphinx.
** The third one contains the Amatsu Tatami Maze.
* [[Exposed to Thethe Elements]]: Everyone can go ranging from deserts to polar regions with the same clothing. It's just an online game, though.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: The Male Archer. The Female Acolyte also while playing with her, she has "normal" eyes in her art, though.
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
Line 131 ⟶ 125:
* [[Sword Beam]]: Averted with both Swordman, played straight with the Doppelganger
* [[Synchronization]]: One can play with multiple characters [[Serial Escalation|by configuring two or three]], controls at same time. Playing like this however is exceptionally hard since every character has different pace and commands, but still possible.
* [[TheresThere Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Two Magicians with any maxed spell, especially if it's Thunderstorm.
** Enemies, especially bosses, have attacks like this.
* [[Turns Red]]: The earliest example you get is Maya, but then most bosses from Stage 5 and forward will change their attack pattern when damaged enough.
Line 139 ⟶ 133:
*** As of the second expansion, the requirement has been lessened into two characters.
* [[Victory Pose]]: Many of them, if not all, consist of the character celebrate and then sit resting.
* [[We Cannot Go Onon Without You]]: A weird variation, if playing in co-op and one loses the last life the partner will also die. This can get irritating if your partner screws up in [[That One Boss]], especially in Stage 6 or 7 where it is '''LONG'''.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Every class in a [[Shout-Out]] to the original game.
** [[Cool Sword]]: [[Captain Obvious|Swordman, both Female and Male.]]
