History VideoGame / BeyondOasis

* TooAwesomeToUse: There are single-use items you can find that let you summon your spirits ''anywhere'', not just in places where the game intends for you to summon them. There's only one in the game for each spirit. Subverted once you realize using them from your inventory directly causes you to lose them forever, ''but'' you can drop them on the ground, shoot a light ball at them to summon the spirit, and pick them up again as many times as you like.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: All of the infinite weapons count in one way or another, but the Infinite Omega Sword is truly their king.

* LongLostRelative: Ali's sister. [[spoiler:She turns out to be the antagonist, and turns into a giant hideous monster in the final boss fight.]]

''Beyond Oasis'', or ''The Story of Thor: A Successor of The Light'' in Japan and Europe, was an action RPG title for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, something along the lines of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda''. The player takes control of the young prince Ali, who receives the mystical Gold Armlet at the games outset. Soon after returning home to the kingdom of Oasis, Ali finds that strange forces have invaded his homeland, and he sets out on a quest to gain the aid of the four spirits of the armlet to fight against them. The Four Spirits are Dytto, the Water Spirit, Efreet, the Fire Spirit, Shade, the Shadow Spirit, and Bow, the Plant Spirit. With their help, he attempts to challenge the forces of Silver Armlet, who uses his armlet's power to lead the invaders against Oasis. As the story unfolds, the prince discovers more details behind the origin of the armlets, the character of Silver Armlet, and the dark power the silver armlet contains.

!!This Game provides Examples of:

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Agito is destroyed and Ali becomes TheGoodKing, but his sister Gwyne, who he spent the entire game trying to save, chooses to remain in the spirit world to be the guardian of the Armlets for the rest of her life.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: Underneath the BlackCloak, [[spoiler: Silver Armlet turns out to not only be a girl, but also [[LukeIAmYourFather Ali's sister]].]]

The game was followed up by a prequel: ''Legend of Oasis'' for the SegaSaturn, which is more merciful with the weapons, and adds two new spirits, Airl the Wind Spirit and Brass the Sound Spirit. ''Legend of Oasis'' focuses on Leon, the apprentice to the wizard Ordan who battles the evil Agito to become the Spirit King.

* BonusDungeon: Quite a few

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Infinite Omega Sword. Actually, any of the infinity weapons count as this.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Prince Ali, hero of the game, [[spoiler: as well as Silver Armlet, who turns out to be his mind-controlled sister.]]

* ElementalEmbodiment/NatureSpirit: The Spirits

* LongLostRelative: Ali's sister, [[spoiler: who turns out to be the antagonist, and turns into a giant hideous monster in the final boss fight.]]

* SomeDexterityRequired: Ali has a few special attacks he can do with the Alt. Knife, including a backflip with the somewhat unintuitive "forward-back-forward-Attack" motion. And then a triple backflip strike that requires a forward-back-forward motion immediately after a fully circular motion. It's tricky.

* LivingShadow (Spirit Shade is depicted as an afterimage of yourself and attacks by extending your shadow and scratching enemies. His SuperMode involves Ali going into a meditative state and Shade separates from him, becoming invincible.)

* LowLevelRun: Very easy to do, as "level-up" power-ups are hard to come by, and don't do much aside from raising your maximum HP by a few points and allowing you to do extra damage. In fact, the game ranks you better if you do a low level run. It keeps track of a number of things and ranks them at the end–Ali's level is one of those things.

A notable game for a number of reasons. For one, while it was quite like ''TheLegendOfZelda'', one interesting difference was breakable items: if you used a weapon or item too much, it would break and become unusable. Since there was no way to repair broken items, the player is forced to try and conserve what he or she is given.
