''[[The Demon Rush]]'' is a PC RPG made in 2008 by Dragoon Entertainment, A.K.A The D. It is about a conflict between humans and demons called the Demon Rush, which has been going on for three years by the start of the game. However, a new breakthrough may put an end to the war. The city of Tiriad has built the S.S. Pursuit, the first spacecraft created in the Mittu System. This ship may be able to find the power needed to end the war. However, the mission goes awry, leaving two soldiers stranded on a distant planet.
The game gained some notoriety when [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2913491 the creator advertised it] on the [[Something Awful]] forums, selling it for $20. Most Goons who saw the thread felt this was too high, and the price was eventually lowered to $10, and then made free in December of 2010.
Line 8:
The game has a cult following thanks to its [[So Bad It's Good|simplistic]] graphics and character art, [[Ear Worm|catchy music]], and the plot's mixture of [[Cliché Storm|familiar JRPG conventions]] with [[Mind Screw|strange]] and [[Ass Pull|unexpected]] twists. Mikwuyma did a live broadcast of the experience, recorded in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOcOD6mx52g these two] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc4W-uXVfIg very long] videos. You can download it for yourself [http://www.dragoon.ca/tdr.html here].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly High Level Cap]]: A strange example. While levels cap at 8, it takes many fights to get there, due to the fact that most enemies (including several bosses) give out low amounts of EXP.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: On one hand, you've got Cherry Venus, Sect Mawashun, and Brooks Cracktackle. On the other, you've got Jimmy, Joe, and Steve.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Cook in the ending.}}
* [[Faceless Goons]]: Most non-boss enemies.

** DEST stands for '''DE'''cide to '''S'''upport '''T'''omorrow.
** Tratas stands for {{spoiler|The Resistance Against The Absolute Siphon.}}
* [[Gameplay Story Segregation]]: Averted in a very strange instance early in the game where two characters ask a [[Guest Star Party Member]] '''why he didn't gain experience points at the end of a battle'''.
* [[Global Airship|Global Rocket]]: You eventually get the S.S. Pursuit, which can travel between Earth and Thormia, and land anywhere.
* [[Half Human Hybrids]]: The Legend Vipers are half human and half [[Our Dragons Are Different|Viper]], and each control a planet.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Though, despite being a computer game, you can't just type it in. You have to select each letter like a console game.
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Alberto mentions early on how much Claire resembles his dead girlfriend Amy. Also, a likely unintentional example—Thormia's Half-Human Hybrid son Redfast looks exactly like Cherry Venus, down to the same outfit.
* [[In the Blood]]: At the end of the game, despite having heroic intentions up to that point, {{spoiler|Cook could not resist the urge to fuse with the Absolute Siphon}}. From what little can be gathered from the story, Legend Vipers are [[
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Brooks Cracktackle.}}
** {{spoiler|Tara can also be permanently killed if you lose the [[Duel Boss]] fight against zombified Fleming.}}
