Standardized Holy Warrior to Paladin, as per devs' nomenclature. Removed Thou Shalt Not Kill since Pacifist Run is more accurate and exists on page already


* GameplayGrading: Gives you a higher rank based on total enemy kills, ranked for each individual stage and for the whole game. Higher rank is generally better, and encouraged by granting health restoration at the end of the stage based upon rank. However, earning low enough ranks throughout the game - which is to say, [[PacifistRun with minimal kills]] - grants the elusive Holy Warrior achievement.

* PacifistRun: The game throws tons of enemies on you with the expectation that you're going to make them all explode in waves of fireballs and/or green viscera. But for especially determined and patient players, you can pull off a no- or low-kills run to achieve the Holy Warrior rank. Easiest to perform as Valhalla, who gets a giant shield and the ability to prevent all damage for a limited time. This run turns the game into even more of a BulletHell as every enemy remaining on screen fills it with even more bullets and contact damage obstacles to avoid, alleviated somewhat with the Holy Warrior rank increasing max life after each stage that achieves it.

Populated a few more tropes.

Added DiffLines:

* BuildingSwing: The purpose of the building monkey enemy, using their elongated arms to swing up and through buildings for better assault ability.


Added DiffLines:

* ShockAndAwe: The {{Thunderbird}} that Walhalla is able to summon as a second EXTRAPOWER attack. This also carries over to the final phase of the Valkyries boss fight, when all four valkyries rotate through their most powerful elemental attacks.


Added DiffLines:

* StarPower: Sharkungo features stars heavily in his aesthetic. His [[ProWrestlingIsReal wrestling uniform]] consists of a crop top with a star emblazoned across his chest and [[MaskedLuchador across his mask]]. He's a Star Lore Superstar, the prince of the Shakun Star, and fights using Star Yui martial arts, which incorporates stellar imagery and naming such as in his Star Bit attack and Shooting Star final crash.

Added DiffLines:

* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Sunny Day and Funny Face, Dark Force's ''other'' recurring duo. Whereas Undata and Mensouma are capable commanders described as Dark Force's two right hands, Sunny Day and Funny Face are played for comedy when they are fought. They'll even manage to blow ''themselves'' up in the second phase of their boss fight after combining their vehicles - simply because they didn't realize how top-heavy it would be, and end up lobbing missiles onto themselves!


Added DiffLines:

* ChromeChampion: Metal Giga, a gigantic Superstar covered in metal skin who battles with Stone Mack in Stage 4.
* ColorCodedElements: The valkyries that accompany Walhalla are colour-coded to their element: the Flame Valkyrie is dressed in red, the Water Valkyrie in blue, the Leaf Valkyrie in green. The Valkyries of Light are white-haired and dress in a lighter shade of blue. Walhalla herself is the Atmosphere Valkyrie and can manifest a large lightning bird as a secondary [[DesperationAttack EXTRAPOWER attack]], and wears long yellow hair and golden armour.


Added DiffLines:

* EvolvingTitleScreen: The default title screen shows Sharkungo and Forcestar fighting a swarm of Clay Kids and Mensouma and Undata watch on. After all player characters are completed, the player is rewarded with a new title screen showcasing all the player characters.


Added DiffLines:

* PreMortemOneLiner: Galaxystar gives one when he grapples an enemy for his Final Crash attack, just before pumping them with a full blast of laser pistol. ''Good night!''


Added DiffLines:

* {{Thunderbird}}: Walhalla is unique in having two [[DesperationAttack EXTRAPOWER attacks]] -- first she summons the valkyries to her aid, then she can opt to gather them into a massive bird of lightning that attacks across the screen for big damage. Unfortunately for Waldiola and anyone trying to clear the [[BossRush Rivals Fights]] on one life, Walhalla keeps this attack in the last stage of the Valkyries boss fight.

* ChariotPulledByCats: Nemuri's sled is pulled by Edelweiss... a giant, clawed red hand that she found floating in space. It loyally conveys her though space and skies and attack on command. Nemuri makes it clear that she isn't sure what Edelweiss even is, but it's actually a Bem -- a parasitic space organism last seen in [[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]].



* DistressCall: The game begins this way for Sharkungo and Forcestar, who receive a distress signal from Daitoku Igor - the Shakun Star is being invaded - by the very team they just triumphed over in the wrestling ring! Except now they've brought an army of [[RobotWar robots]] and [[BugWar spy flies]] to subjugate Sharkungo's home planet. They are compelled to abandon the spaceship and fly directly to Shakun on their own power to intervene, starting the game.



* GameplayGrading: Gives you a higher rank based on total enemy kills, ranked for each individual stage and for the whole game. Higher rank is generally better, and encouraged by granting health restoration at the end of the stage based upon rank. However, earning low enough ranks throughout the game - which is to say, [[PacifistRun with minimal kills]] - grants the elusive Holy Warrior achievement.



* JetPack: Turns out not all the alien characters are gifted with superhuman flight. Daitoku Igor is more mundane in his abilities, and keeps up with Sharkungo and Forcestar via jetpack. In ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]'', this is also how he makes his escape when the robots he pilots get destroyed.



* MirrorBoss: Blue Armour is this to Sharkungo, being an ancient Shakun warrior with many of the same attacks, but more intense.

to:

* MirrorBoss: Blue Armour is this to Sharkungo, being Armor, the ghost of an ancient Shakun warrior Star warrior, uses a form of Star Yui similar to Sharkungo. Like Sharkungo, he attacks by launching his RapidFireFisticuffs and projections of himself across the screen and can spin in a star shape to attack the player. But as a final boss, he attacks with many of greater ferocity than the same player is capable of, and has additional attacks unavailable to Sharkungo in theme with the other attacks, but more intense.such as launching a ring of defensive stars around him or saturating the screen in offensive projections as a desperation attack.


Added DiffLines:

* VengefulGhost: Stage 3 is populated by warrior ghosts from the Shakun Star's violent, warmongering past. These forsaken souls are bound to their buried battlegrounds and persist through the sheer force of their hunger for conquest.

Added DiffLines:

* BackgroundBoss: Stage 1 boss Undata returns in stage 5, having [[MakeMyMonsterGrow been embiggened by dark energy]] once more. As the player ascends the Shakun Star central compuer tower, Undata is visible through the glass behind it, too big to fully fit on screen. His massive [[ThisIsADrill drill arms]] stab through the sides and let his assault-type Clay Kids pour in. The player has to dodge his drills and subsequent attacks while doing enough damage to the drills to repel them.


Added DiffLines:

* BehemothBattle: Occurs in the background of Stage 4. As the player fights through the capital city, a Stone Mack begins stomping through the background, only half its body able to fit on screen at a time, [[MookMaker releasing Clay Kids]] each time it returns. A little after, Metal Giga shows up, grappling Stone Mack until he explosively sends its head flying.


Added DiffLines:

* BigOMG: A big one is given midway through Stage 4, watching Dark Force level the Shakun Star capital city with [[OrbitalBombardment a dark strike cannon]] blast. ''OH MY GOD! The city is.... destroyed.''


Added DiffLines:

* CagedInsideAMonster: The implication with the large organ-shaped enemies that populate the [[PhantomZone Ghost Gate]] that the players get pulled into partway through Stage 4. [[AllThereInTheManual The exploration report]] fears that if these large masses truly are organs as they appear to be, then the entire dimension must be an unfathomably massive creature.


Added DiffLines:

* CranialProcessingUnit: The Shakun Star central computer is a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever massive robot]] with [[SculptedPhysique the muscles of a body builder]]. Despite its immense size and plates of armour all over its rock solid body, the head is what needs to be targeted and destroyed layer by layer to finally disable it.


Added DiffLines:

* EnergyWeapon: Forcestar's primary attack is launching a beam [[HandBlast out of his hand]]. A weaker attack than other characters', it penetrates enemies and widens at every power up.


Added DiffLines:

* HandBlast: Forcestar's energy blasts are fired out from his hand.


Added DiffLines:

* InsectoidAliens: The Spy Fly troop type under Mensouma's bioroid units. Bipedal dragonflies the size of an average human adult with a hardened, knife-sharp tail, they're one of the most common troop types for [[BigBad Dark Force's]] conquest of the universe.


Added DiffLines:

* MaskedLuchador: Sharkungo, the [[ProWrestlingIsReal Star Lore Superstar]] who is always seen in his red mask with a star over the face.


Added DiffLines:

* OrbitingParticleShield: Forcestar's specialty is creating these, summoning up to three crystals that revolve around him and block most damage until they shatter. As a bonus: with three out at once, they can be combined and launched forward for a massive attack that destroys bullets and takes half the screen on impact!
* PacifistRun: The game throws tons of enemies on you with the expectation that you're going to make them all explode in waves of fireballs and/or green viscera. But for especially determined and patient players, you can pull off a no- or low-kills run to achieve the Holy Warrior rank. Easiest to perform as Valhalla, who gets a giant shield and the ability to prevent all damage for a limited time. A Challenge Run as increasing health is tied to number of kills, in the thousands, so you'd be completing difficult end game gauntlets and final bosses with 3 hits at most. 4 if you grab the secret at the end of Stage 5.

Stage 3.3, it is discovered that Shakun warriors of the past were more warlike, leaving evil ghosts and ancient tanks to populate the second half of the level, and even used to be a MakerOfMonsters, producing the undying Gustav.

* MasterComputer: The Shakun Star has a central computer that manages all the defenses of the planet. It gets taken over by Mensouma at the end of his second boss fight.

Added DiffLines:

* AlienInvasion: This is Dark Force's intention for the Shakun Star, the Earth, and the universe at large.
* AmazonBrigade: Valhalla and her Valkyries.
* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Some characters are this to each other. Sharkungo and Force Star begin their stories similarly, then diverge. Valhalla, Nemuri and Valdiora intersect with sometimes opposing objectives.



* AscendedExtra: Valhalla was only mentioned once in Attack of Dark Force and never seen. Galaxy Star played a major role as a support NPC, but was not playable. Here they both become player characters, with their own stories.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Valhalla was an unseen hero only mentioned as defending San Antonio in Attack of Dark Force. Here she is expanded into a full fledged player character, with her own origin story leading up to her joining the heroes of Earth.
* DeathByCameo: Every stage has a bonus that you can activate and then collect for points. Find Needle惻Sandman, and the only way to interact with him is to destroy him with a Final Crash!
* DownerEnding: You can win, but the Shakun Star will still be conquered and its cities destroyed.
* DynamicEntry: Undata's appearance at the end of Stage 1. And the start of Stage 5.
* EasterEgg: Each stage has at least one secret that may be found, usually a reference to Lucky Lamp Project. One Easter Egg summons the protagonist of Happy Challenger Yamada.
* EliteMook: As the game advances, regular enemies will be replaced by higher ranked ones. By end-game, don't expect the rank Stages 4 and file bogies 5 especially will augment these troops with new elite enemies to go down easy!swarm you.



* EvilLaugh: Dark Force and Astral Gate are prone to this.
* FinalBoss: Each character has a rival fight that usually occurs after Stage 6, unless their rival is fought at the end of Stage 4, which instead will make the Stage 6 fight their final boss.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Any time the other Star Lore Superstars are seen beating up enemies in the background, especially in Stages 4 and 5 where one enemy gets sat on and, after an extremely tense gauntlet, two superstars thrash a single building monkey.
* GiantSpider: Cormorants and especially the Mother Cormorant.



* HistoricalInJoke: Undata's Clay Kids resemble Jomon-era Dogu. In certain pseudoscientific circles, Dogu are believed to depict ancient astronauts or aliens.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If you don't attack Sunny Day and Funny Face in their final phase, this will happen to them.
* HumongousMecha: Zanber Head is the largest player character, almost as tall as the screen. Activating its transcendental ability combines Zanber Head with the Zanber Core, making it even bigger!
* HyperspaceArsenal: Galaxy Star carries enough missiles and mines to suggest this.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: Stage 5 disrupts the horizontal shoot'em-up formula of the past 4 stages by having you ascend the Central Computer Towel, all while attacked by enemies from above, below, and outside.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: An ability unique to Valhalla.
* MadeOfExplodium: Every single enemy will either explode in a spray of green guts or explode in a fireball. Often with only one hit.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Upon defeating Undata the first time, he will be revived with dark power and continue the fight at twice his size. In Stage 5, he will be enlarged enough to not even fit the screen!
* MechaMook: Primarily employed by Undata, though Mensouma acquires some from the Shakun Star's defenses.
* MookMaker: Stone Mack fills this role in this game, deploying squadrons of Clay Kids before being explosively defeated by Metal Giga.
* {{Mooks}}: The Clay Kid and Spy Fly line of enemies fill this role.



* RapidFireFisticuffs: See the page picture. Sharkungo attacks by punching so fast, his punches fly across the screen!



* SchmuckBait: At least one power-up is positioned in such a way as to put you in range of an upcoming enemy's attack. Thankfully a rare occurrence.



* ThisIsADrill: Undata's method of melee attack.
* TinmanTypist: The Wire Mains seen in the Dark Force attack ship in Stage 2.



* TookALevelInBadass: Sharkungo and Force Star are powerful in Attack of Dark Force but begin that game having been defeated by the Dark Force invasion, and requires a team effort to take down a squad of Clay Kids or Spy Flies. In this game, he can potentially destroy the entire Dark Force invasion force solo, including elite enemies that would take the whole team to down.
* TransformingMecha: Zanber Head is this. Typically it is a large humanoid robot. Upon activating transcendental ability, it transforms into a head and joins with Zanber Core to form a larger, more powerful robot.
* UndergroundLevel: The underground sewers and tunnels in Stage 3.



* VideoGameCaringPotential: You don't necessarily need to destroy the Needle惻Sandman easter egg, he's only worth 1 point.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Or you could.



* WorldOfBadass: It's EXTRAPOWER. Even the war orphans are badasses!

to:

* VillainOfAnotherStory: Astral Gate is hinted to be more involved than expected in Force Star's story. This is explored more in Attack of Dark Force.
* WhamEpisode: Partway through Stage 4, when [[spoiler:you witness Dark Force demolish the royal capital city]].
* WhereItAllBegan: This game is this for Sharkungo and Forcestar's involvement in the series.
* WorldOfBadass: It's EXTRAPOWER. Even the war orphans are badasses!badasses!
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Blue Armor]] eventually considers Sharkungo to be this.

Added DiffLines:

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Zanber Head is a giant mecha and Galaxy Star has his goldfish bowl helmet, but there is nothing that helps Sharkungo, Force Star, Valhalla, Nemiru or Valdiora breathe in space apart from their own lungs and maybe their alien/magical/demonic natures.

Populated more tropes


* ArchNemesis: Dark Force is this to Sharkungo. Other characters have their own arch-nemeses, such as Valdiora and Valhalla.



* BlockingStopsAllDamage: Unique to Valhalla is her shield that can reduce all damage for as long as it's active, at the cost of disabling her attacks. Zanber Head can also block regular bullets from the front when at max power.



* BottomlessMagazines: Punches. Lasers. Rockets. Mines. Spears. Whatever projectiles you're using, nobody's running out.



* ChallengeRun: The game has an achievements system that encourages it, from One Credit Clears with all characters and complete BossRush clears to completing the game with minimal kills.



* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: The crew of Zanber Head lost their parents when Dark Force attacked their home world. Now they pilot a giant mecha across space to liberate conquered planets!
* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind: Should you not pay attention when fighting Mensouma.
* Cool Sword: Valdiola and Valhalla come equipped with these.



* HitboxDissonance: A game option makes your hitbox visible. It is literally a box, a tiny pixel-sized box in the middle of your character sprite.

to:

* EliteMook: As the game advances, regular enemies will be replaced by higher ranked ones. By end-game, don't expect the rank and file bogies to go down easy!
* EliteArmy: Dark Force's army in general, but the gauntlet of Stage 4 and 5 are especially this.
* EmergencyWeapon: When on your last health, pressing your 3 attack buttons in the correct order will activate a powerful EXTRAPOWER transcendental attack.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When playing as Sharkungo, pay attention to the blue armour randomly laying on the ground in Stage 3.
* GratuitousEnglish: Sometimes used for effect. ''Oh my God!''
* HitboxDissonance: A game option makes your hitbox visible. It is literally a box, a tiny pixel-sized box in the middle of your character sprite.sprite.
* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Flattening the Shakun Star capital city with a mega-laser will do that]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Upon witnessing Dark Force level the capital city]] ''Oh my God!''
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Nemuri and Rem are powerful demons, but are either children or children-sized. The overpowered Zanber Head are crewed by actual human children.
* PortTown: A space port in this case. The first part of the Shakun Star to fall to Dark Force.
* RuleofCool: The default character is a masked wrestling prince who flies through space and attacks swarms of enemies by shooting his punches and kicks across the screen. It only gets more wild from there.
* SerialEscalation: Each level lives off this.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Sunny Day and Funny Face return from Attack of Dark Force, and are the bosses faced before Stage 5.
* SoMuchForStealth: This was supposed to be a stealth mission, Nemuri! Maris-sama is exasperated that Nemuri ditches the stealth part of her mission as early as Stage 1.
* ThouShaltNotKill: At least not if you want the elusive Holy Warrior achievement.
* VerbalTic: Sunny Day and Funny Face's token giggles return with them. ''Guuguuguu. Kyororororo!''
* VillainEpisode: Nemuri is a literal demon, though on reconnoissance to see if Maris-chan should support the Earth. Valdiora is much more firmly villainous, directly opposing Valhalla and the Valkyries in both their stories.
* WorldOfBadass: It's EXTRAPOWER. Even the war orphans are badasses!

A horizontal shootem-up released in 2013 and part of Lucky Lamp Project's [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/EXTRAPOWER EXTRAPOWER]] series of doujin games.

Taking place one day before the previous game, Attack of Dark Force, Star Resistance begins with Sharkungo and Force Star returning from a Star Loa victory only to discover that Dark Force is attacking the Shakun Star. The tag team duo ditch their transport to fight across 6 stages of hostiles, from the Satellite Mesa and space port to the heart of the royal capital city.

Apart from Sharkungo and Force Star, the valkyrie Valhalla and demon girl Nemuri are available to play by default, and three others are unlockable. Each character has their own unique play style and their own story to follow, often with unique Rival Fight boss encounters to replace the standard final boss fight.


The game is available for download [[https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/4167 here]], and is playable with an RPG Maker VX [[https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package Run Time Package]] and after switching the administrative language to Japanese for English computers.

!! EXTRAPOWER: Star Resistance contains examples of:


* AbnormalAmmo: What other shooter game has you attack by launching punches and kicks across the screen?
* TheAssimilator: Mensouma has shades of this, being able to use his cells to take over machines.
* AttackDrone: A few enemies take this form, either as part of Undata's mechanized troops or local defenses taken over by Mensouma.
* BossOnlyLevel: Stage 6. Any character-specific final boss that occurs after Stage 6 also becomes this.
* BulletHell: Some levels definitely become this, especially towards the end. And bosses don't know the meaning of mercy!
* ContinuingIsPainful: Get hit and you lose one stage of power. Die and continue and you start with minimal power, potentially deep into the stage and maybe with one power-up before the boss. Major bosses are thankfully preceded by a MAXIMUM POWER.
* CrosshairAware: The penultimate Stage 6 boss will splash some of these for certain late-phase attacks.
* HitboxDissonance: A game option makes your hitbox visible. It is literally a box, a tiny pixel-sized box in the middle of your character sprite.
