Line 4: Realm of the Mad God is a free-to-play MMORPG which can be found [http://www.realmofthemadgod.com/ here], and on Steam<ref>In fact, it's possible for the Steam account to be compatible with an account on the game's main site</ref>. Gameplay takes cues from both the [[Roguelike]] and [[Bullet Hell\|danmaku]] genres, with permadeath in effect for everyone. The game is small and embedded on that page so unless you don't have Flash installed you can play right away. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This game provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Absurdly Low Level Cap]]: The maximum attainable level, 20, can be achieved within as little as thirty minutes, although maxing out all of your stats will take much longer (but still relatively little time compared to other MMORPGS). [[Justified Trope\|Justified]] by the permanent death system. * [[Action Bomb]]: The grey blob, which is a [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin\|grey blob]]. They like to get right up next to you before exploding in a circle of fire. A whole swarm of them is [[Yet Another Stupid Death\|a common way to end a game in a hurry.]] * [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Enough players in a group can do this to virtually anything in the game without taking any casualties. * [[Awesome but Impractical]]: ** The Spider Eye ring is assumed by some players to be the best ring in the game due to its rarity, but it no better than a standard Ring of Health Regeneration if you are not a magic user. And health regeneration is also a pretty useless stat to begin with. Line 19 ⟶ 18: * [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: ''All'' Necromancers are good. Those that fall to [[The Dark Side]] are called Deathmages. ** The Paladin's (currently) best Seal, the Seal of Blasphemous Prayer<ref>aka the [[Fan Nickname\|Oreo Cookie]]</ref> is pitch black and is described as being considered dangerous, but it still heals you and your friends. * [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: Despite the use of [[Final Death]], you're actually ''encouraged'' to die, as doing so is the only way to obtain the game's currency, Fame. * [[Degraded Boss]]: A number of cases, most notably the Horned Drake, which tends to show up in groups of three or more in higher level areas. * [[Disc One Nuke]]: Items which are fairly unremarkable finds for a level-capped character, like the Staff of Destruction, can still be used to breeze through the trek to level 20 without much effort. However, they won't help you much in the quest for the game's [[Infinity ~~Plus One~~+1 Sword\|ultimate weapons]]. * [[Drunken Master]]: According to the "official" fan lore, much of Oryx's power comes from copious consumption of wine. * [[Dungeon Crawling]]: The game currently has 11 dungeons, with more on the way. Line 27 ⟶ 26: * [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: If it moves and isn't a player, it's an enemy. * [[Evil God]]: Oryx. * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Many dungeons. No prizes for guessing what enemies are in the Spider Den. * [[Experience Leak]]: Everyone who is in the vicinity of an enemy gets a set number of experience points (regardless of how many players there are) when it's slain, with the participants getting the full amount and non-participants receive less. * [[Excuse Plot]]: You're stuck in the [[Title Drop\|Realm of the Mad God]]. Here's how you move, shoot and loot corpses. Now go kill things. * [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: The Pentaract Towers have eyes. And are surrounded by a swarm of eyes. [[Everything Trying to Kill You\|Which will shoot you.]] * [[Final Death]]: If your character dies, he is gone for good. The game even places a gravestone where he died. That said, if you save up the massive amount of fame required to purchase an Amulet of Resurrection, you at least get one more chance. * [[Foe -Tossing Charge]]: The common practice of player 'trains', so called because it consists of a horde of players 30+ strong charging along the main roads and shooting everything that moves. [[Curb Stomp Battle\|Anything found near these roads will be consumed as if by a swarm of army ants.]] * [[Fragile Speedster]]: Rogues, Archers, Assassins, and Huntresses. * [[Heal Thyself]]: The Priest's healing ability can heal himself, as well as the other people in the spell's range. * [[Infinity ~~Plus One~~+1 Sword\|Infinity+1 Sword/Dagger/Staff/Bow/Wand:]] As of now, the Dagger of Foul Malevolence, the Bow of Covert Havens, the Staff of the Cosmic Whole, the Wand of Recompense, and the Sword of Acclaim. Also of note are "untiered" items, which drop from dungeon and event bosses. These are exceptionally rare and generally have effects different from normal weapons: the Crystal Sword, for example, has a longer [[It Makes Sense in Context\|range]] than other swords. * [[Interface Screw]]: Being inflicted with confusion will rotate your controls 90 degrees. Usually, the effect doesn't last very long, but the bats in the Manor of the Immortals confuse you for several seconds. ** Enemies in the [[Jungle Japes\|Forbidden Jungle]] also have an attack that causes "Hallucinating", which switches every sprite on the screen with another one at random. This includes the trees and vines the area is covered with, making the overall effect quite distracting. Line 53 ⟶ 52: * [[Schmuck Bait]]: "Pirate Rum - It seems like it would be a bad idea to drink this. [[Press X to Die\|Shift-click to use.]]" For the curious, it {{spoiler\|makes the screen blurry for a minute or so.}} Also, the occasionally-appearing Mysterious Crystal. This immobile crystal constantly self-regenerates and begs everybody in the world to attack and break it (players who find it often add their own pleas for help). The sheer effort required to break it usually means that if it breaks, most of the available players will be right there, including a lot of low-level ones who don't really know what's going on. And [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can\|it's not the crystal]] that's begging you to break it... * [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: The Bandit Leader will yell "Forget this... run for it!" and run away after taking a beating from you. You can still kill him, however. * [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: Can be found in portions of the world-map. Of note is that little sliding is performed, which is for the best [[Bullet Hell\|in a game like this.]] * [[Stat Grinding]]: Done in the form of the various stat potions, which when drunk increase a certain stat by 1. Obtaining them involves slaughtering the gods of the realm, and you'll need every last drop if you want to survive the [[Big Bad]] and [[Bonus Dungeon]]. * [[Sword Beam]]: Keeping in with the [[Bullet Hell]]-style of the game, ''everything'' shoots beams, even the melee weapons. It's just that swords and daggers have a small range, while staves and bows and the like have a much longer range. * [[This Cannot Be!]]: Yelled word for word by Oryx when you defeat him in his first incarnation. * [[Throwing Your Shield Always Works]]: The Knight's special power is to do this, which normally stuns enemies. * [[True Final Boss]]: Going through the steps necessary to unlock the door that appears after you kill Oryx will open up a [[Bonus Dungeon]] [[Nintendo Hard\|which eats maxed out characters like they're going out of style]], ending in a rematch against the souped-up [[Big Bad]] himself. Bring health potions and lots of them. * [[Turns Red]]: Several enemies and most bosses "power up" after taking a lot of damage, the Super Sumo and Ent Ancient being the most notable. The Ghost Kings are ''inversions''. Once their health is low enough, they actually ''shrink'' and can't do anything except run around. ** A minor version with the [[Hair -Raising Hare\|Enraged Bunny]]. It's a cute little pixellated bunny...[[Incendiary Exponent\|THAT SETS ITSELF ON FIRE]] [[Killer Rabbit\|AND ATTACKS]] [[Video Game Cruelty Potential\|IF YOU SHOOT IT.]] * [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: After defeating enough of his guardians, Oryx will prevent everyone from teleporting out of the realm. Defeating ALL of the guardians results in him teleporting everyone in the realm at the time to his castle. Defeat Oryx there, and he may drop the entrance to his Wine Cellar, which requires a rare, single-use item to unlock and is by far the hardest area in the game. * [[~~Videogame~~Video Game Caring Potential]]: Players have no way to sell excess items, which often results in higher-levelled players saving and dropping medium-levelled items in the Nexus for low-level characters to use. * [[X Meets Y]]: [[Bullet Hell]] + Roguelike + MMORPG + Retraux. * [[Zerg Rush]]: "Trains" or "Locust Swarms"<ref>formerly "Rape Trains" but was changed for obvious reasons</ref> consist of a large mass of players running along the brick path leading around the realm shooting at absolutely anything that looks at them funny.
