jumping on enemies kills them. i like that one.
Jace Watson
>enemies react differently depending on where you strike/shoot them
Dominic Allen
Encountering powered up versions of enemies later in game that are just pallet swaps.
Nolan Turner
>Game let's you play as the bosses
Wyatt Cook
>Rivals with similar powers as the mc
Hell, even just having rivals to begin with seems to be a rare thing in most rpgs these days. Best part is when they have their own amazing soundtrack when fighting.
Bentley Jones
Time travel, but the type where it's a single timeline
so the characters from the future show up earlier in the game before their future selves travel back to the past
Josiah Lee
Playing as the villain
Aiden Williams
> boss re-fights are random encounters
Alexander Anderson
>60 and up playable characters
Carson Bennett
name 1 game thats like this that isnt a fighting game
i only ask because i like a few games like this type of trope
Jaxson Bell
>boss doesn’t want to kill you
>you don’t want to kill boss
>you both have to fight to the death anyway
Jayden White
Chrono Cross has 45 potential party members. Not 60 but still a massive amount, especially for a JRPG.
Also technically Pokemon Mystery Dungeon does this. once you beat the game, you can switch to playing as any Pokemon you recruited, including legendaries.
Adam Perez
good fucking series
Nicholas Lopez
there was that teen ttians game on the gamecube which was more of a beat-em-up, but I guess that's similar enough to a fighting game to not count
James Foster
>Enemies become more afraid of you as the game goes by
Connor Powell
Suikoden 2
Jackson Hill
>boss' attacks are stronger versions of your own moves and/or boss uses their own version of the player character's main gimmick
Carter Ross
>boss is an old party member/clone of the old member
>only uses the attacks you unlocked for them
>can use OP attacks if you were able to get them
God this game was so good.
Camden Cook
Iji has this
Robert Martin
>you don't actually have to kill anyone
Benjamin Perry
>main character is silent but starts speaking at the very end
Kevin Campbell
>losing to the final boss
>get a new power-up
>theme song plays
Landon Garcia
>final boss cast fist
Leo Scott
Any game done this? Sounds cool
Dominic Sanders
Saints Row 1
Lincoln Taylor
FPS characters looking at their hands
I dunno. Just something about it
Aaron Collins
>enemy pins you to the ground and succs you dry
Levi Anderson
This. Bosses becomes regular enemies and you destroy them.
Evan Perez
>final boss of the previous game joins your party
>he's just as broken as before
Oliver Lewis
God Eater Resurrection.
Grayson Stewart
Jace Rogers
Aw hell ye, father gascoigne filtered the shit out of me on my first attempt at playing bloodborne, came back months later and kicked his ass, learning parrying in the process. Same shit with gehrman, it felt like the two of you were worthy opponents for each other.
Brody Russell
Shit im gonna have to try these out then
Owen Long
>Rather than have multiple stats/skills with only one way to optimize them, you have few stats/skills with different ways to optimize them
Gavin Torres
>MC can take drugs in game at any time that have psychological effects
Brayden Campbell
>Base building where its not the main focus of the game
Matthew Moore
I love shit like delivering the happy boxes in Mother 3 or burying the soldiers' bodies in DQ Builders 2.
They're long moments that just let you think for a moment before continuing the game.
I love it when a boss doesn't attack a character because of relations.
Easy cinematic boss fights like the end of Super Metroid or Vaas from Farcry 3.
Joshua Sanders
>play the whole game as the main villain who has entirely different mechanics
Andrew Allen
>you are temporarily given an insane amount of power and can destroy enemies you normally struggle against like it's a musou game
Jose Diaz
You mean stuff like Giants: Citizen Kabuto, or a game where building is the actual core mechanic, like an RTS?
Matthew Moore
>enter dungeon
>it's fucking massive
>it's so massive there different biomes and even are small villages on different floors of the dungeon
Kayden Wilson
i love it when certain mechanics/concepts are rarely used. makes the game feel more fresh when you finally get to use them
Juan Roberts
I like when areas wrap around on themselves. Where the beginning, middle, and ending are placed nonlinearly but can only be accessed through linear progress. I especially enjoy it when games other than Metroidvanias do it.
Isaac Gray
>villain becomes a party member
Kayden Gonzalez
>you can combine classes/abilities
>you can hybridize your units
Asher Torres
I mean more where base building is a side thing you can spend time on like Fallout 4s base building as a more recent example
Aiden Green
>final boss theme has motifs from the main theme
Alexander Flores
shining force
Caleb Clark
I love it when the players power progression is tangible like with monster hunter, you start out having real trouble with low level enemies then as you get stronger and better equipment those enemies became a hoard of mooks for you to slay on your way to the real challange. Oddly another good game for this was the first Risen.
Gabriel Ortiz
Gen 3 pokemon
I don't know why i liked it so much and remember it still
Nicholas Cox
Chase Harris
Literally why so many Kirby final bosses are GOAT, on top of being epic as fuck
Elijah Cruz
metroid does this. things aren't necessarily difficult early on but the obstacles can be annoying. as you get more powerful you come back to old rooms and can speed through them like nothing.
Evan Nguyen
>character enters a berserk mode
Alexander Wilson
pyre sorta
Nolan Wood
>Green Greens during Void fight
Fuck, it's so good.
Blake Richardson
>character enters a berserk mode
The best trope.
Asher Clark
That looks kinda awesome
Kevin Adams
>enemies are rip-off of mythological figures, monsters, gods and etc.
>bonus points of they have bible stuff in there too
Brody Powell
Kamen Rider Build, if you want to check it out.
Hudson Evans
>Joke weapon is actually viable and good.
Luke Thomas
>The old, frail and withered character suddenly becomes lucid and unimaginatively strong even at the lowest point in life when roused by his one obsession
Cooper Smith
>Kamen Rider Build
Thanks mate
Ian Perez
>secret bazooka in medieval games
Benjamin Scott
>Villain teams up with the good guy to fight a greater power
Always been my favourite. Specifically love seeing Mario and Bowser team up.
Aiden Bailey
>Game breaks all limits and logic is thrown out the window during a one-time power up near the end:
>Guns keep shooting when empty
>Normal one-target attacks blow swathes of enemies away
>Magic attacks are in complete overdrive
>Enemy grunt attacks ricochet off your armor
>Strong melee attacks displace areas of the battlefield
>Keeping combos accelerates your every action
>Nothing stops your momentum
Colton Turner
>Bosses come back for that one-time powerup and you just one-shot them
Zachary Martinez
>the comic relief is actually a badass fighter
David Torres
>Different factions of AI can start fighting each other
James Bell
No Bruce Lee archetype?
Also, best Lee clone.
Gavin Williams
>Final level uses same music/tileset/setting/ect as the first level
Samuel Gutierrez
Third options, defiance of expected fate, massive gambits.
Charles Stewart
God I loved this. Why couldn't more games do this?
Adrian Martinez
>final boss theme is a orchestra cover of the main theme
Caleb Jackson
>pick up new weapon/upgrade
>music gets all pumped up
Thomas Fisher
Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes, but only for one of the endings.
Andrew Walker
>The further you progress in the game and more famous your become from all your deeds the more terrified the enemy is of you.
>Rival fights where you both have more or less the same abilities and power
>The final boss theme being the main/intro theme remixed
Robert Long
>get boss to half health
>he means business now
>starts new phase
>LYRICS KICK IN
Gabriel Bennett
>You take trophies from the bosses you defeat/other accomplishments and display them in the hub world
Justin Powell
Visiting failed timelines where the big bad has won and everything is fucked up.
Pairs nicely with having to take extreme measures to save the world from a threat and being villainized in the process.
Cooper Phillips
i love that shit.
Carter Evans
>let's
Stupid fucking retard
Kayden Wilson
>final blow to the final boss is a special over the top team attack
Sebastian Ross
Happens in Dragon Quest I
Levi Baker
Ryder Perez
It was so good though
all three lines made me laugh
Connor Price
I prerer 2
Hudson Price
Chorus/Opera music for the final confrontation.

God I love nuFE.
Ryan Foster
>The bad guy that has been an asshole to you for most of the game teams up with you to fight the final boss/greater evil
Lincoln Cooper
>Sub-Zero
>An antihero
Maybe Bi-Han. Kuai Liang is a chill dude and has done nothing wrong.
Jace Nelson
It requires a degree of effort in designing the levels as well as genuine interest in the game you are making
Two aspects rare in game development these days
Hunter Cruz
>protagonist from a previous game reappears as a boss
>they use all their best equipment from that game
>you can recruit them after the fight
Josiah Brooks
Jackpot.
Caleb Johnson
>main characters from first game show up in the sequel, you can fight them and have them join your party, you also see what they've been up to since their story ended
>you can get bosses to join you and they have all their broken moves from when you fought them
>game company has all kinds of other IPs and spinoffs where characters from the series show up in as bosses as vice versa, creating a whole web of extended canon
>characters have unique special attacks if next to each other
>while everyone has a chance to combo attack when near one another, some characters have a 100% chance to combo based off of plot
I fucking love Disgaea, fuck.
Dominic Morgan
I don't know if it's an actual trope, but the plot twist is actually shown on the box or even in the title.
Anthony Thompson
>multiple games in the series
>you get progressively more broken and OP in each instalment
>People who were hyped up as being legendarily powerful and impossible to beat eventually fall to your insane power creep
Trails in the Sky did this wonderfully
Jordan Barnes
>Boss is just a dude
>Boss is on the same path as you
>Has similar powers as you
Adam Martinez
>people don't fall down instantly and stand up after death and bleeding mechanics
Noah Morgan
>character offers to fight you before they join your party
>if you opt to not fight they're disappointed and pissy but join anyway
Kevin Morales
>Comic relief is actually the mastermind
Jackson Wright
>near the end of the game party members sacrifice themselves so you can reach the end
gameplay aside Super Paper Mario had some good shit in it
