History VideoGame / DecayingWinter

* DropTheHammer: Hammers fall under the bludgeon weapon class, ranging from the [[ImprovisedWeapon Construction Hammer]] to [[AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon The Decimator]].

---> '''At the start of the Bad Business boss wave''': [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Oh the misery, Everybody wants to be my enemy.]] [[Music/ImagineDragons Spare the sympathy, everybody wants to be, my enemy!]]

''Decaying Winter'' is a brutal wave survival game made in {{VideoGame/Roblox}}.

* DifficultButAwesome: The Castle. If an Agent wanders too close to it, they'll be faced with ''hundreds'', if not [[DeathOfAThousandCuts ''thousands'' of bullets]] flying towards them, and that's not even considering the fact that at any point they might accidentally bring the Sledge Queen out of her area, who is more than capable enough to kill the entire team by herself. It also spawns a lot of crates every night, so [[DecapitatedArmy eliminating the leader]] will net the team with at least 5 crates when the next night begins.

* BoringButPractical: Emergency Respirators. The starting equipment for all Agents, it provides complete immunity from the storm for 15 seconds. Not flashy compared to other equipment such as Koldera Black, but it does allow Agents to get out of a nasty situation when scavenging. This is especially useful during ''Last Strandeds'', as the toxins from the storm deal enough damage to kill agents in four seconds, and looting the scav base can possibly take a lot of time to the point where after a successful raid, they're won't be enough time before agents get caught in the storm, so having it is not unrecommended.

* FirstPersonShooter: The game takes place in first person, and although there's a healthy amount of options for melee oriented combat, you'll soon need a gun and some ammo after Wave 5, when [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight the amount of scavs with guns really starts to kick up.]]

* {{Cyberpunk}}: There are heavily implications that across the universe that this genre is in effect, given that most the planets are ruled by [[MegaCorp Ulacyon Megagroup Corps]], the technology seen is very high-tech, and it has a dark atmosphere. As for the [[CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain weather]], there exists a very deadly storm approaching every night.

* JavelinThrower: Averted. A throwing javelin appears a weapon, but the description for it states that it's too heavy to throw.
* JustFrameBonus: The Arbiter perk ability has a small window that lets you punch your own shotgun blast to boost it, doubling it's damage and greatly increasing it's range.

* MoraleMechanic: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Morale]], obviously. It's inflicted when one of the Agents die, causing a debuff to all of your stats, and it can stack all the way up to 4. It's effects can be mitigated with the Koldera Black's buff and using [=BL1=] (Neloprephine) removes a stack of it.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: There is an enemy referred to as a "Shadow Sickler" in game.

* AWinnerIsYou: Successfully surviving 10 waves has the game saying "you all live to die another day", and then boots all players back to the menu screen. [[spoiler: Completing the evacuation is similar, except this time it also displays the end credits and Archdeximus thanking the players for staying with the game even though there were no signs of any future updates.]]
* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: You wont die if you are starving or dehydrated, but you ''will'' suffer a defense, damage and speed penalty.

* AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon: The Decimator's a big hammer with a box of shotgun shells on its model. A chain of shells comes out of it and connects to the hammer bit, and the weapon blasts enemies with a shell explosion on a strike attack. It never requires you to load it, however.

In the base game mode, you play in a group of up to 4 other Agents, members of an unknown high-tech faction. The objective is to survive 10 nights of two segments each: scavenging for any loot that may help your team survive, and defending your base from other scavs.

* BladeOnAStick: A class of weapons, running from the [[TorchesAndPitchforks Pitchfork]] to the Tactical Spear.

You can play the game [[https://www.roblox.com/games/9880062154 here]].

* NoSmoking: Koldera Black used to look a lot like actual cigarettes. However, after the main game was removed for depictions of smoking, the palette was changed to make it look a lot less like a cigarette.

* AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon: The Decimator has a box of shotgun shells on its model. The chain of shells goes up into the hammer bit, and the weapon blasts enemies with a shotgun shell explosion on a strike attack. It never requires you to load it, however.

* WackySoundEffect: Successfully landing a heavy Sledgehammer hit results in a "BONK!" sound being played out.

* AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon: The Decimator has a box of shotgun shells on its model. The chain of shells goes up into the hammer bit, and the weapon blasts enemies with a shotgun shell explosion on a heavy attack. It never requires you to load it, however.

* AnAxeToGrind: A class of weapons, from the mediocre Tomahawk to the the Fire Axe and it's crafted upgrade, the Fireier Axe. Strangely enough, the Cleaver also is listed as an axe in the AGENT's interface.
