History VideoGame / ChaosLegion

* '''GUILT, The Sword Crest''' summons swift knights who attack en masse with DeathOfAThousandCuts.
* '''MALICE, The Arrow Crest''' calls crosswbowmen who unleashes a RainOfArrows and can snipe enemies from afar.
* '''BLASPHEMY, The Bomb Crest''' deploys ActionBomb turtles which blows up anything within its vicinity.
* '''ARROGANCE, The Shield Crest''' summons DeployableCover creatures to block attacks and counter with energy beams.
* '''FLAWED, The Claw Crest''' calls nimble {{ninja}}s with WolverineClaws to drill through flanks of enemies.
* '''HATRED, The Power Crest''' summons hulking humanoids who attack targets with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
* '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatos THANATOS,]] The Ultimate Crest''' unleashes Sieg's most powerful OneManArmy legion, a dragon-humanoid being who is able to mow and slam through ranks of enemies with fervent ease.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Delacroix. [[LongHairedPrettyBoy He's got the "long, flowing locks" thing going on, too.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Thanatos when maxed out. Any of the Legions are powerful at max stats, but Thanatos is so far above them all that it gets a little ridiculous when you fight [[spoiler:Azrail]] (3 hit kill). In fact, Thanatos is so ridiculously powerful, that the main strategy for beating ''anything in the game'' when you max out all of its stats is: Lock-on monster, use The Ignorant Masses, run up to the enemy as it is {{bullet time}}d and carpet bombed, then just AttackAttackAttack. And the last part is optional, because sometimes ''all targets are destroyed before you're given even a chance to close in''.

* BishonenLine: The final boss shows this. [[spoiler:Considering who you're facing, perhaps Bishojo Line would be a more accurate descriptor.]]

* BishonenLine: The final boss shows this.

* InvisibleMonsters: The Danus are essentially BossInMooksClothing, which are common (upgraded) enemies in later stages; Sieg's sword is useless against them and can only be damaged by Legion attacks or assists. And if a Danu ever lands a blow on a Legion, it will [[OneHitKill hit HARD]].

** The various Garia monsters and Rudo Lognagaiser hold humongous shields, which can also be destroyed by [[MadeOfExplodium Blasphemy]].

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Thanatos' ''Ignorant Masses'' combined with BulletTime.

* TheRightHandOfDoom: Sieg's gauntlet seems to be the main conduit for summoning his legions. Capcom sure has a thing for magic arms (''GodHand'', ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', etc).

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The Hatred legion. It also has an ability to catch an enemy's attack before putting a size-appropriate hurt on them: smaller foes tend to be knocked over and mashed into the ground, while some of the few enemies larger than them usually get a single (but ''painful'') slam. They also like giving a "Come get some" style taunt after being ordered to attack.

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: The Guilt Legion (swordsmen) are like this. When repeatedly ordered to attack, they are relentless, merciless, and make julienne fries!

* '''MALICE, The Arrow Crest''' calls [[TheArcher crosswbowmen]] who unleashes a RainOfArrows and can snipe enemies from afar.

* TheArcher: The Malice legionnaires, complete with massive laser crossbows.

* HairOfGold: Siela, a [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]] with ProperLady and SilkHidingSteel undertones.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In cutscenes, both Sieg and Arcia constantly act like the latter is TheLoad and/or useless in a fight, yet replaying the game as Arcia is in many ways easier than with Sieg.

* HairOfGold: Siela, a NiceGirl.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Thanatos when maxed out. Any of the Legions are powerful at max stats, but Thanatos is so far above them all that it gets a little ridiculous when you fight Azrail (3 hit kill). In fact, Thanatos is so ridiculously powerful, that the main strategy for beating ''anything in the game'' when you max out all of its stats is: Lock-on monster, use Ignorant Masses, run up to the enemy as it is {{bullet time}}d and carpet bombed, then just AttackAttackAttack. And the last part is optional, because sometimes ''all targets are destroyed before you're given even a chance to close in''.

** The Volvor bosses are also capable of unleashing multiple beams from its exposed eyes, as well as Azrail.

** The final battle is also a continuous one: the first against Delacroix, the second is against the freed Azrail, and the TrueFinalBoss is [[spoiler:Siela possessed by Azrail/Delacroix]]. Fortunately, a Perfect Thanatos will make mincemeat of the first two battles and the third one will be the real challenge.

* WhenTreesAttack: One of the bosses.

* HairOfGold: Siela, who is something of a YamatoNadeshiko.

* OneWingedAngel

* BulletTime: Thanatos' Assist skill, ''Ignorant Masses'', slows down everything except Sieg, while Thanatos himself rains homing BeamSpam on the enemies.

* {{Hellhound}}: The Ogmas, most especially the red Ogma Rogul which can breath a swath of damaging flame.

* PerpetualFrowner: Sieg only smiles ''once'' throughout the game and that one time he does so [[hottip:*:in the prologue, when Delacroix almost stabs him in the head after accusing him of murdering Siela]] isn't even a moment appropriate for it in the first place.

** Malice's ''Spartan'' Enchant, Flawed's ''Laughing Stock'' Assist and ''Despise'' Enchant with also zap the enemy with electricity on a successful hit.

** Sieg's legions (i.e. Guilt, Flawed and Hatred) also work this way especially in Active Hearts mode.

----

* HealThyself: Thanatos' ''Healing Factor'' Enchant, although its usefulness is limited by the regen's slow speed and Sieg needing to remain stationary for the effect to activate.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: In the later levels, there are zombie enemies (in appearance) which behave like normal human soldiers. While zombie soldiers are organic (flesh and blood), later levels will have ''metallic'' zombies, making them even harder to kill.
* [[PaintedOnPants Painted On Shirt]]: Sieg's shirt is so tight that he may as well not be wearing a shirt at all.

* RankInflation: AAA+ rank (!!)
** To clarify, you have to obtain a AA+ rank in every category to receive a AAA+ for the mission.

* InvisibleMonsters: The Danus are essentially BossInMooksClothing, which are common (upgraded) enemies in later stages; Sieg's sword is useless against them and can only be damaged by Legion attacks or assists. And if a Danu ever lands a blow on a Legion, it will [[[[OneHitKill hit HARD]].

Sieg Wahrheit and Victor Delacroix used to be the best of friends. Unfortunately, Delacroix has fallen into TheDarkSide--Seig, Delacroix and their lovely lady friend, Siela, were trying to [[SealedEvilInACan seal away]] the Dark Spirit Azrail as it tried to escape. For some unknown reason, Sieg ''murdered'' Siela right before Delacroix's eyes. Or did he really...?

* {{BFS}}: The Lognagaisers

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Zeodagdas, the monsters with katars as hands.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Malice and Arrogance's modes of attack, as well as the various enemy cannons.

* TheGunslinger: Arcia.
** GunsAkimbo: Arcia wields two small silver pistols, one in each hand.
** GunKata: Some of her moves resemble this.

* InvisibleMonsters: The Danus are essentially BossInMooksClothing, which are common (upgraded) enemies in later stages; Sieg's sword is useless against them and can only be damaged by Legion attacks or assists. And if a Danu ever lands a blow on a Legion, it will hit really ''HARD''.

** The enemies Rudo Garia and Rudo Lognagaiser also hold humongous shields, which can also be destroyed by [[MadeOfExplodium Blasphemy]].

* MookMaker: The aptly named Monster Generators aka Jenons.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The Hatred legion works on this trope, and even has an ability to catch an enemy's attack before putting a size-appropriate hurt on them: smaller foes tend to be knocked over and mashed into the ground, while some of the few enemies larger than them usually get a single (but ''painful'') slam. They also like giving a "Come get some" style taunt after being ordered to attack.

* DoubleJump: Flawed's Double Raid ability. Arcia has this by default.

* SoleSurvivor: Of the Maidens dispatched by the Order's Intelligence unit to track Delacroix, Arcia's is the only one who survives a run-in with monsters. If Sieg was even a second slower, she might not have made it either.

Gothic opera / hack 'n slasher game created by Creator/{{Capcom}}, released in 2003 for the PlayStation2 and PC.

* '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatos THANATOS]], The Ultimate Crest''' unleashes Sieg's most powerful OneManArmy legion, a dragon-humanoid being who is able to mow and slam through ranks of enemies with fervent ease.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Arguably all of the named characters, although the prize naturally goes to Sieg and Delacroix.

* BulletTime: Thanatos' Assist skill, Ignorant Masses, slows down everything except Sieg, while Thanatos himself rains homing BeamSpam on the enemies.

* HealThyself: Thanatos's ''Healing Factor'' Enchant, although its usefulness is limited by the regen's slow speed and Sieg needing to remain stationary for the effect to activate.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Arrogance Legion
** The enemies Rudo Garia and Rudo Lognagaiser also holds humongous shields, which can also be destroyed by [[MadeOfExplodium Blasphemy]].

** Delacroix must acquire the 3 sacred glyphs (Ascension, Destruction, Primal Sin) to remove the seal from Azrail.

* MalevolentMaskedMan: Delacroix's appearance at the end of the prologue stage.

* MeaningfulName: Sieg Wahrheit translates to 'victory' and 'truth' (German). The real events that happened shows up once Sieg beats Delacroix in the final battle. His name is even based from the 1598 painting ''Sieg der Wahrheit'' (victory of justice).
** Victor Delacroix translates to 'champion of the cross' (French). Delacroix is a promising cleric-swordsman who was seen as the future head of the order of St. Overia until his eventual fall to darkness.
** Siela Riviere translates to spirit (Lithuanian) and river (French). The plot ''flows'' to uncover the event of her death, while her soul was captured by the demon Azrail.

* MeaningfulEcho: Early on, Delacroix tells Sieg he'll liberate him from the dark spirit. [[spoiler:Sieg says he'll do the same for Delacroix right before he faces Azrail.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Sieg's element of choice, it would seem. He dabbles a bit in ShockAndAwe as well.
* PosthumousCharacter: [[TheLostLenore Siela Riviere]], [[PlotTriggeringDeath whose death kicks off the story.]]

* PurposefullyOverpowered: '''Thanatos.''' As noted in InfinityPlusOneSword above, there is a good reason you have to jump through so many hoops when it comes to restoring Thanatos (i.e. finding all of the Thanatos Chips and then pouring an ''exorbitant'' amount of exp into raising it) : helping Thanatos reach its Adult form again eases the game's difficulty a bit. Going one step further and evolving Thanatos to its [[OneManArmy Perfect form]] has your foes, ''mooks and bosses alike'', going from 0 to '''dead''' in about three seconds flat.

* SdrawkcabName: The forbidden city of Yzarc.

** The final battle is also a continuous one: the first against Delacroix, the second is against the freed Azrail, and the TrueFinalBoss is [[spoiler: Siela possessed by Azrail/Delacroix]]. Fortunately, a Perfect Thanatos will make mincemeat of the first two battles and the third one will be the real challenge.

* SwordPlant: Blasphemy grants Sieg with Airblaze, a jumping DeathFromAbove stab on the ground. Higher levels will cause a fiery area of effect around Sieg.

* CounterAttack: Arrogance's Avenger Enchant and Rampage Assist and Hatred's Bad Karma Assist, although the former two require Sieg to take damage first before retaliating.

* KillItWithFire: Most of Sieg's best Enchant abilities from Legions involve setting multiple enemies alight with area of effect or blast radius attacks. Using fully upgraded ''Airblaze'' and ''Crimson Carnage'' from Blasphemy and ''Breakdown'' from Hatred will surely clear a horde of enemies into smoldering heaps within seconds.

* MacGuffin: The Three Sacred Glyphs and arguably the Thanatos Chips.

** The final battle is also a continuous one: the first against Delacroix, the second is against the freed Azrail, and the TrueFinalBoss is [[spoiler: Siela possessed by Azrail]]. Fortunately, a Perfect Thanatos will make mincemeat of the first two battles and the third one will be the real challenge.

** Flawed's ''Laughing Stock'' Assist and ''Despise'' Enchant with also zap the enemy with electricity on a successful hit.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Malice's energy crosswbows, as well as the various enemy cannons.

* HealThyself: Thanatos's Healing Factor Enchant, although its usefulness is limited by the regen's slow speed and Sieg needing to remain stationary for the effect to activate.

* GoddamnBats: The Archanus, flying metal monsters that fly around arenas in swarms which are lethally dangerous unless you have Malice or Blasphemy around.
** The Zuom Cloarth are groups of tiny spiders that appear in cavern missions. Though annoying in hordes, they are not as dangerous as [[DemonicSpiders it may seem]] since an entire group can be dispatched in a single hit.

* LargeAndInCharge: The leader of the enemy group is aptly labeled TARGET for each area. Defeating this enemy will neutralize all enemies in the area as well.

* TheArcher: The Malice legionnaires, complete with semi-automatic crossbows.

* MeaningfulName: Sieg Wahrheit translates to 'victory' and 'truth' (German). The real events that happened shows up once Sieg beats Delacroix in the final battle.

** Thanatos. Named after the Greek god of death, his perfect form is a humanoid dragon with four angel wings that brings death to hordes of enemies in his path.

* PurposefullyOverpowered: '''Thanatos.''' As noted in InfinityPlusOneSword above, there is a good reason you have to jump through so many hoops when it comes to restoring Thanatos (i.e. finding all of the Thanatos Chips and then pouring an ''exorbitant'' amount of exp into raising it) : helping Thanatos reach its Adult form again eases the game's difficulty a bit. Going one step further and evolving Thanatos to its [[OneManArmy perfect Complete form]] has your foes, ''mooks and bosses alike'', going from 0 to '''dead''' in about three seconds flat.

* ATasteOfPower: Thanatos, the strongest legion, is available in the tutorial stage, and is broken into pieces once the stage is completed. Recollecting the pieces is something of a plot point, and well worth it.

* '''{{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatos THANATOS}}, The Ultimate Crest''' unleashes Sieg's most powerful OneManArmy legion, a dragon-humanoid being who is able to mow and slam through ranks of enemies with fervent ease.
