History VideoGame / BrainLord

A 1994 hack 'n slash ActionRPG for the SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem published by [[Creator/SquareEnix Enix]]. Imagine a typical game in Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda, only with a Franchise/Pokemon-esque AttackDrone system, more destructable equipment (well, shields), a slight bit more realism than usual, and, most importantly, Zelda puzzles '''on steroids''' (hence the game's name.)

* BrokenBridge: The statue that controls access to Droog will not operate without its sapphire

* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: Natch

* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Platinum castle

* LostForever: The Ice Castle is inaccessible after you clear it, so anything you didn't pick up is gone (including the second best armor and helmet in the game and an upgraded morning star.)

* ICantUseTheseThingsTogether: When Remeer *does* speak, it's usually along these lines.

* AwesomeYetPractical: Once you get the morning star, it will be your best weapon for quite awhile.
** And if you can figure out the timing, you can pretty much shield yourself with it by swinging it around your head. And the upgraded version is tied for the second most powerful weapon in the game.

Notable in that the game contains numerous references and even cameos to [[VideoGame/DragonQuest That Other Enix game]], but, despite going so far as to TitleDrop it several times, is otherwise unrelated and not within the same continuity.

* WastedSong: The road between Arcs and the first dungeon, again. There's no other song like it in the game, and it's only heard here.

* CapitalCity: Toronto. It is the nicer out of the only two towns in the entire game.

* BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler: Fire Drake.]]

* BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler: Fire Drake. When he finally dies, the Demon Lord returns and the player has to defeat him.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: The most powerful weapon in the game is a hand axe.

* LostForever: The Ice Castle is inaccessible after you clear it, so anything you didn't pick up is gone.

* ChestMonster: The Ice Castle has an absurd amount of healing fountains scattered everywhere. Problem is, they're all ''poison'' fountains now.

* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous: The Ice Castle is filled to the brim with assholish level design decisions. Filling the whole level with healing fountains, and then making them poison fountains instead? A plaque on the wall that just randomly poisons you? Another plaque positioned over a spike bed that you ''have'' to step on to read it, only to find out that it just mocks you for trying to read it? It's all there.

* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous: You know all those plaques on the wall that give you information on how to solve puzzles and such? Yeah, one of them in the Ice Castle just poisons you if you read it.
** Not to mention examining one of the bookshelves in the Toronto library poisons you as well.

* ChestMonster: The Ice Castle is practically filled with healing fountains. Problem is, they're all ''poison'' fountains now.

* CharacterLevel: subverted. Remeer powers up through new weapons, armor, items, etc. But your AttackDrone becomes faster, stronger, and meaner in general though little orbs of experience.

* ConvenientQuesting, although usually for script reasons rather than having a shiny new item.

* InexplicableTreasureChests though, sometimes, the items are referenced by ancient script very close to where they are found, suggesting they were intentionally stored in their chests.

* MoneySpider: unless there's also a little blue ball for your fairy, numbers will rise from slain foes, telling you how much you made.

* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: natch

* StandardRPGItems: revival mirrors, power boosters, potions, antidotes, etc.

* ThereAreNoTents: only statues and items. And inns.
