History VideoGame / DhuxsScar

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Celliann. Subverted in that she's treated with the same negative connotations as a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy. And she's an actual albino. That too.

* RefugeInAudacity: [[spoiler:GodIsEvil]], many people are graphically torn apart, impaled or squished, [[spoiler:Jesus is a lecherous old man who's buddies with Satan (who's benevolent), and his mother was raped by Archangel Michael, the pope is a ruthless MadScientist who molests a semi-angelic WholesomeCrossdresser...]]

* DeadLittleSister: Sybil, Elijah's twin sister. [[spoiler:She's actually NotQuiteDead.]]

* UnderratedAndOverleveled: Averted. The main characters are a [[{{Mercenaries}} mercenary]], a traveling merchant, and a, [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld supposedly]], teenage girl. These characters are *exactly* as strong as they should be according to their backgrounds. The mercnary with his high stats, and special abilities (including the only healing spell in the game) pretty much wins every battle single handedly. The merchant has 1/3 the mercnaries maximum health, does 1/4 the damage with regular attacks and doesn't have any special attacks to spend his MP on. Though he has some great abilities to help get cheaper or special items from merchants and can do compable damage to the mercenary by throwing amulets only he can use, but the cost of purchasing all those amulets add up so rapidly that [[AwesomeButImpractical it's cheaper to let the mercnary deal with everything and put the savings towards healing items]]. Meanwhile the girl is every bit as worthless as one would expect from an inexperienced girl ([[SuperpoweredEvilSide usually]]), Her damage is so pathetic that if not overleveled many enemies will NoSell her attacks, she has the lowest health and defense and spends every single encounter [[DefendCommand defending]] and nothing else; to the point that having her in the party starts to feels like a game long EscortMission.

* ButtMonkey: Elijah. [[supersecretspoiler:This carries over to Sybil as well.]]

* TheWonka: Jazz.

So the story goes, but as one will soon find out, there's more to the story than it appears. The plot follows a weakling merchant called Elijah, a young girl called Celliann, and Faye, an androgymous bodyguard and old acquaintance of Elijah's. Faye is the only one of these characters that is really cut out for combat; Celiann is about as useful as you'd expect a little girl to be and Elijah can only dish out real damage by using magical amulets that are in limited supply. (Even then, a single regular attack from Faye usually deals comparable damage)

* BerserkButton: Do NOT mess with Celliann unless you want to bring down [[spoiler:[[MamaBear Sybil]]]]'s wrath.

* {{Gorn}} / CruelAndUnusualDeath: ''Oh so much of it''. Many, many people die in this game, often graphically and in extremely gory and bloody ways. A few examples: ''heads exploding into blood'', someone getting ''ripped in half while screaming for mercy'', and someone getting ''impaled and skewered from inside''.

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Faye.

** ShoutOut: "[[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Those are just flesh wounds!]]"

!!Tropes used in Dhux's Scar:

* GoThroughMe: A variation; it's the good ([[GrayAndBlackMorality ish]]) guy getting stopped. [[spoiler:Nimue]] does this when [[spoiler:Halbarad]] is about to kill [[spoiler:Valedar]]. However, this is subverted hard; when [[spoiler:Nimue]] says she's willing to die for [[spoiler:Valedar]], [[spoiler:Halbarad]] simply says, "Then die," and kills her. (Does not end well; it causes a major FreakOut on [[spoiler:Valedar]]'s part and makes him [[ActionBomb explode.]])

* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: Diviel's demon council. [[spoiler:The game sets them up to be major villains, but this is subverted ''hard''. All you get to fight is three members, then Halbarad shows up and massacres them. Turns out they weren't major characters at all; they were just {{Sacrificial Lamb}}s.]]

* {{Gorn}} / CruelAndUnusualDeath: ''Oh so much of it''. Many, many people die in this game, often graphically and in extremely gory and bloody ways. A few examples: ''heads exploding into blood'', someone getting ''ripped in half while screaming for mercy'', and someone getting ''impaled and skewered from inside''. Often overlaps with HighOctaneNightmareFuel.

* NotSoHarmless: Elijah and Faye are mostly ignorant of Celliann and her godlike powers of being able to massacre things. [[spoiler:That is, until the party reaches Jehridan, where she gets fed up, goes OneWingedAngel, and [[ClimaxBoss tries to kill them.]]]]

* ShoutOut: [[ChronoTrigger "Male, female, what's the difference? Power is beautiful, and I've got th-"]] [[LampshadeHanging "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Let's stop right there before we delve too far into reference hell."]]

* LighterAndSofter: The [[spoiler:post-Impure Chrysalis]] part of the game. The gore turns down, [[spoiler:the party solely consists of sympathetic people]] and you're not in a constant threat of getting butchered by random monsters anymore.

* SuperMovePortraitAttack: Celestial Assault, Pulsating Light and [[spoiler:Jazz]] Smash.

* UnreadablyFastText: There's a fisherman NPC at the beginning of the game who has this while he's trying to explain a fishing minigame(That does not actually exist) to you.

* VendorTrash: Lampshaded in their descriptions; "Just sell it. This game has no crafting quests."

* HopelessBossFight: The fight with "Samba", PlayedForLaughs. (Despite [[NonIndicativeName their names]], the "hopeless battles" ''are'' winnable, [[NintendoHard even if they may not seem like they are]]. There are even ForegoneVictory battles labeled like this...)

* YourBlankIsBroken: "Are you sure you should be paying so much attention to me? A distraction could prove fatal."

* RRatedOpening

-->'''Man''': Here I am, drinking my sorrow away...

'''Man:''' Leave me alone!\\

* {{Narm}}: Use of multiple exclamation points, extremely drawn-out vowels, and all-caps text can certainly cause this in some scenes. ''Looking at you, Halbarad.''
