History VideoGame / Tevi

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Tevi defeats Tahlia and the Revenance, saving Az, and Celia is finally given a promotion for her effort, with her even gunning for Tybrious' position with the possibility of her stopping his bloody pursuit of perfection. However, with the deaths of her foster father and extended family, Tevi is left all alone, and since Tahlia's power was the only thing keeping Sable alive after he was mortally wounded by Vassago, he dies too shortly after Tahlia's death, leaving both Tevi and Celia without their best friend. The final shot of the game has Tevi entering Zema's now empty lab before falling to her knees sobbing; depressed, broken, and completely alone.]]

* PlatformHell: The Circus in Tartarus is designed around tough platforming challenges, with players being scored based on how fast they cleared them.

!!So far, ''TEVI'' provides examples of:

* HarderThanHard: Expert is one full tier above Hard, and any difficulty can be further tweaked at Tevi's bed to add up to two "+" levels, making Expert++ the highest difficulty available by default. Then there's Infernal BBQ, only unlocked after finishing a game on Expert, which dials up enemy stats and patterns up to eleven and notably cannot be reselected if you lower the difficulty at Tevi's bed. It can also be stacked with several of the {{Arrange Mode}}s like Elite Enemies, Aggro Bosses, or Potion Scale to make it even more challenging.

* PlatformHell: The Circus in Tartarus, planned to be added in an upcoming update, is designed around tough platforming challenges.

* EliteMooks: Enemies can randomly spawn with the "Elite" buff that raises their stats and may slightly change their attack patterns, but causes them to drop more materials and/or health. The Mysterious Traveler's challenges consist entirely of Elite enemies, who are also buffed with {{Percent Damage Attack}}s.

* TheBattleDidntCount: Certain boss fights end up with the boss you beat to a pulp seemingly none the worse for wear, and some, such as [[spoiler:Charon and Cyril]], end up with Tevi ''worse'' off than she was before; [[spoiler:in the latter two cases, she was about to outright die if it weren't for Cyril's DespairEventHorizon and Tahlia's sudden intervention respectively]]. Taken even further in the fights with [[spoiler:Vassago and Amaryllis, where the last "phase" of the fights are glorified cutscenes where the boss gets serious and instantly defeats Tevi.]]

* BossRush: After clearing the game for the first time, entering the Colosseum in Valhalla allows the player to take on a boss rush where they fight every boss back to back, with intermittent breaks to restock items and change sigils. In addition to the three base difficulties, there's also [[spoiler:Library Boss Rush, for the three developer bosses in the Ana Thema Library, as well as the intentionally overtuned Xtreme Boss Rush unlocked after beating the latter.]]

* ArrangeMode: After clearing the game for the first time, subsequent games can have a wide array of modifiers added to them, which stack with each other and can lead to some ridiculous runs if enough are used at once:

* BreakMeter: Bosses have a meter beside their health bar which goes down when attacked, and can be depleted more significantly by completing objectives in certain fights. Completely depleting it will temporarily stagger the boss, providing a huge opening for damage while notably making them susceptible to juggling and knockback.
