{{quote| ''You are Clifford, [[Idiot Hero|a scrubby hick]] with a penchant for amorality, [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcasm]], and [[Heroes Prefer Swords|thumping stuff before thinking]]. Along with his comrades, Clifford travels a twisted path towards his great fate: to be the one destined to "try" and fight [[Big Bad|Gwar]], the demonic villain whose name is only coincidentally after the 80's metal band. Along [[The Quest|this path]] your journeys take many unstereotypical routes - such as a [[Battle of the Bands]], DNA cloning, ghost pirate sea ballads, and an infectious disease that sounds more like a cereal. The journey also contains particularly stereotypical routes - such as the Generic Tower, discussions over whether towers are more evil than caves, and the Island of Too Many Towers.''}}
 
''[[The Sword and theThe Fish]]'' is a freeware comedic-RPG created by Joel Minty and his brother, Tyler Minty, using RPG Maker 2000. Released Summer of 2006, the game was a huge hit. Featuring [[Loads and Loads of Characters|a large cast of sidekicks]], over 1,500 maps, loads of items and optional quests galore, this game is long. Nonetheless, its quirky plot and the interesting cast of characters (and awesome music) will keep you dying to know what happens next.

Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: {{spoiler|Okay, so, you've broken through the barrier and are about to confront the madman behind everything. The dungeon is difficult and the music is properly epic. By the time the dungeon is over with, a new character has joined your party, seven powerful demons have been released and you're off to a new chapter...the longest one yet!}}
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Sasha's tech skills.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Zaknafien and Risco Rah
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: {{spoiler|When you head to the ruins of Roma to save Clifford's mother, you're expected to take the secret entrance into the castle for a standard dungeon romp...''or'' you can just go through the front door, kill the boss and leave.}}
