* LastChanceHitPoint: A unit falling in battle will enter "Limbo" rather than immediately die, giving one last chance and three turns to heal them.

to:

* LastChanceHitPoint: A unit falling in battle will enter "Limbo" rather than immediately die, giving one last chance and three turns to heal them. If they are healed even one HP, they go off of Limbo and get a debuff for the rest of the dungeon. If they go three turns without healing off of Limbo, they die. If they take any amount of damage during Limbo, they die. However, they can still act during their turns, so fixing this is just a simple matter of using a healing skill on yourself or consuming a potion.
** Sisters can use the His Protection skill to leave a target with one HP when they take damage exceeding their current HP, no matter the amount of damage taken.
** Paladins all have a Jinx that works the same as His Protection.

Added DiffLines:

** Certain combinations of units and their skills also qualify. Combining a Paladin's Holy Smite Cross with a Shadow Blade's Sting Hard will allow you to unleash high-powered attacks over and over, while negating their inherent weakness of displacing the character away and only being usable from the back row.
** The Shadow Blade's Hide skill can be key in traversing a dungeon and getting to the objectives.
** Stable Cloud does not deal any damage, starts off as a single-target dispel that removes heals, and is more or less ignored. Later into the game, it will be a critical skill in getting rid of the various bleeds applied by the monsters.
*** Sister's arsenal is full of such abilities, in fact. Others include a LastChanceHitPoint shield, a buff that recovers MP from taking attacks, and a relatively low-powered stun.


Added DiffLines:

* DifficultButAwesome: A fully upgraded Corps Skill, especially offensive ones that target all opponents like Crash Fight and Shadow Casting, can trivialize combat encounters provided that you manage to use it.

Added DiffLines:

** Additionally, the mechanic that causes consumables to be corrupted by the Mist comes into play. Will you take an excess of utility items and have them all spoil and lose value, or will you bring less and hope that the rest can be salvaged from the dungeon?

* SchmuckBait: In the third zone, [[ChestMonster you will start finding an overabundance of chests and not enough keys]]. In the fight with the Black Goddess, three Black Goats will constantly hit your units with wide-area stuns, displacements, and high damage. Later versions of the game will warn you on attacking them that they are her 'children' and that she [[BerserkButton grieves]] [[MamaBear any harm done to them]].

Added some tropes

Added DiffLines:

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Grim Reaper's Instant Death skill will [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin instantly kill any non-boss target]], but between the fact that it is a chance based attack and that there are plenty of other debuffs and tactical moves in her arsenal, it is often ignored.
* BoringButPractical: Upgrading the basic attack allows characters to hit hard without expending MP, YP, or SP. This becomes critical in Hard Mode runs, where MP regeneration is slowed to a crawl and fights might drain all your resources in a flash.


Added DiffLines:

* CuteBruiser: Due to the artstyle, quite a lot of the characters take this title, but the most notable one would be the Paladin.


Added DiffLines:

* MagicalGirl: Those who contract the Witches' Plague become so until puberty. Witches have the ability to control gravity and time and powerful magical blasts, and can even [[PowerMakesYourHairGrow transform]] to ignore MP cost and positioning restrictions.
* NobleDemon: Depending on your interpretation, the Ronin comes off as this.


Added DiffLines:

* PublicDomainCharacter: Shub-Niggurath and her Black Goats and the Great Koschei are two examples.

'''MISTOVER''' is a dungeon crawler RogueLike mixed with TurnBasedCombat, where the position of the characters in your party can affect their abilities and defenses. Developed and published by KRAFTON, Inc., it was released October 10, 2019.

The unexpected appearance of the Vortex, also called the Pillar of Despair, unleashed dreadful creatures that brutally raided the world. Defenseless and vulnerable, mankind was soon on the verge of extinction. When all hope was lost, a miracle happened, and the creatures suddenly vanished. Desperate to prevent the next invasion, the survivors created a group called the 'Corps' that journeys into the Vortex from whence the creatures emerged. You will lead the Corps to reveal the secrets behind the incidents.

!!Tropes:
* AchievementMockery: Similar to ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'', there are achievements for characters dying in specific ways, such as starvation or spending HP to break an obstacle.
* AllDeathsFinal: If a member of the Corps falls, they are gone for good with no way to revive them, even if they did not die from a monster attack.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Only teams of five can enter the Vortex at a time.
* CombatSadomasochist: The "Sister" characters look positively ''giddy'' when struck by an attack.
* DoomsdayClock: One counts down to the end of the world. Every time the player explores an area without a 100% completion rate (open enough chests, defeat enough monsters, don't let anyone die), it ticks forward, with an instant GameOver if time runs out. With high enough exploration, it might instead tick back.
* FinalDeathMode: Every single run of the game is forced to be one, which makes the DoomsdayClock even more worrying.
* HalfHumanHybrid: The Onmyouji units have demon fathers and human mothers.
* HubCity: The Kingdom of Arta, the last bastion of mankind after the Vortex wiped everything else out, is where the Corps are based.
* InterchangeableAntimatterKeys: Chests and keys are designated as bronze, silver, and gold, in ascending order of rarity. No keys can be taken from the area they're found in, but any key will work with any chest of equal rarity, and there will always be enough keys in an area to open every chest.
* InventoryManagementPuzzle: The Corps has a limited amount of bag space to hold everything, from food to treasures, though the amount can be upgraded.
* LastChanceHitPoint: There is a chance that a unit falling in battle will enter "Limbo" rather than immediately die, giving one last chance to heal them.
* NunTooHoly: The Sister units claim to follow the voice of God, but are willing to deceive in his name, and their robes are slit to reveal their sides and fishnet stockings.
* OlderThanTheyLook: The Paladin units, who were cursed by demons into a childish form no larger than their tower shields.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The Werewolf units were created by the Wolf God Fenrir using his own blood and the bodies of regular humans, to be soldiers against other gods. When Fenrir was sealed away, the werewolves continued to seek out battles to improve their strength, leading them to the Corps.
