Or all the fun of [[Ragnarok Online]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|except offline and as a]] [[Fighting Game]].
 
[[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 [[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.
 
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.
Line 35:
* [[Brutal Bonus Level]]: The Ex Scenarios. The first one, the [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer|Prontera culvert]], is nothing compared to even the second one, the ghost ship, also housing one of the game's most infamous bosses, [[That One Boss|Drake]]. And then, there's the final EX stage, which makes the easier ones seem like the Prontera grounds.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: In the form of textboxes.
* [[Clipped -Wing Angel]]: Maya, the boss of Ant Hell, is the opposite, after destroying her exoskeleton she'll [[Turn Red]] and her attacks will do far more damage and one of them, at that point, can combo you to death.
** Stage 7 boss, Baphomet. He gets A LOT easier once he enters in the second stage of the fight, however that doesn't mean his attacks hurts any less.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: [[Bad Santa|Antonio]] launches one after Stormy Knight is defeated.
* [[Combat Medic]]: The Acolytes, focus more on the "combat".
* [[Competitive Balance]]
Line 69:
* [[Exposed to The 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]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Swordman.
** [[The Lancer]]: Thief.
Line 77:
** [[The Medic]]: Acolyte.
** [[Tagalong Kid]]: Novice.
* [[Foe -Tossing Charge]]: You better get used to this especially if you are playing solo.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Nearly every boss. Golden Thief Bug has the most annoying ones, though.
* [[Full Contact Magic]]: Magicians can hit pretty hard even without their spells. Bonus to the Male Magician who can do a flashy flying kick.
Line 109:
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Literal trope which can be done by the Thieves.
** Merchants also does this by literally grab the monster and mugged out 5 coins for it
* [[One -Hit Polykill]]: Several attack that you and the enemy, mind bosses and sub-bosses, can do this.
* [[One -Man Army]]: Your character is practically this.
* [[Palette Swap]]: With few enemies. It is averted on co-op, though since you can't choose the same gender of the same class.
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: Averted. In general, males have more HP and females have more SP. There are also minor variations and requirements for various special moves but the gender differences is glaring when it comes down to gameplay, although similar in some ways each classes are unique.
Line 119:
* [[Schrodinger Fu]]: Part of the Novice's fighting style is made of this.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: The Female Novice.
* [[Shy Blue -Haired Girl]]: Averted with the Female Magician who seems to be the opposite, her [[Stripperific]] outfit doesn't help either.
* [[Shout Out]]: The entire game is practically a [[Beat 'Em Up]] version of [[Ragnarok Online]]. That's how many there are. They can be seem as [[Fridge Brilliance]] too.
** If you stay sit, pressing down, your character will recover HP and SP gradually faster.
** Drake can use Waterball since where you fight him there's water on the floor.
Line 147:
** [[Drop the Hammer]]: The Male Merchant carries one and even uses as a seat in its [[Victory Pose]].
** [[Carry a Big Stick]]: Female Acolyte carries one on her belt.
** [[Bare -Fisted Monk]]: The Male Acolyte uses nothing but his own fists and feet as weapons.
** [[The Archer]]: Is it really needed to explain?
* [[World of Badass]]: It's Ragnarok, most NPCs you see are "players" even though you always see them doing ridiculously slow damage if any at all.
