History VideoGame / UnleashTheLight

''Unleash the Light'' was released on November 27th, 2019, exclusively on the UsefulNotes/AppleArcade service for iOS, [=iPadOS=], macOS, and tvOS. It later got a release on consoles and Steam on February 19th, 2021.

* TechTree: Each party member has two sets of skill trees that you can spend Skill Points on. Each tree branches out into two upgrade paths after the first one before merging into the final upgrade.

* JokeItem: The description for the Sparkly Badge says that all it does is make the wearer sparkle in battle, unlike the other badges, which have actual benefits. The only use it has is for a {{Sidequest}} in Pyrope's World, which only rewards you with a Super Star Fruit and a random charm, while in Rose's Room, it can be at least sold for Light Bits.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* SaveScumming: Your progress is saved after you clear a stage, but resetting it won't respawn different enemies, consumable items obtained from treasure chests, or the layout in RandomlyGeneratedLevels. However, in Rose's Room, the abilities, upgrades, badges, and recruitable party members can be rerolled.

* LimitBreak: Like in ''Save the Light'', filling up the teamwork bar allows the characters to unleash powerful attacks or [[FusionDance fuse]]. Obsidian is the most destructive of the "limit breaks", and requires the bar to be filled up twice.

* SaveScumming: Your progress is saved after you clear a stage, but resetting it won't respawn different enemies, consumable items, or the layout in RandomlyGeneratedLevels. However, in Rose's Room, the abilities, upgrades, badges, and recruitable party members are rerolled, so you can reset the stage as many times as you like until you get what you want among them.

* BraggingRightsReward: Completing all 10 Magical Missions in Rose's Room gives you the final Neato perk, which is a button that lets you instantly win any battle, but only works once per stage. Upon receiving it, your party members have ranked up sufficiently enough to breeze through the stages without you resorting to the instant-win button.

*** The skill that gives Greg's Heal Jam a 25% chance to cure his allies of negative StatusEffects is called "Independent Together".
*** One of the anvil charms that Bismuth can equip is the Little Homeworld Anvil.
*** The achievement for clearing all the Magical Missions in Rose's Room is called "Can't Believe We've Come So Far".

*** The achievement for getting an A++ on any Black Hole chapter is called "Little Homeschool".

* BraggingRightsReward: Completing all 10 Magical Missions in Rose's Room gives you the final Neato perk, which is a button that lets you instantly win any battle, but only works once per stage. Upon receiving it, there's nothing much left to do in Rose's Room but continue ranking up your party members and [[AndYourRewardIsClothes unlocking their costumes and perks.]]

* {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:Hessonite]] appears as the FinalBoss in Rose's Room, which is a bonus game mode where under vanilla conditions, you start at Level 1 without items or money, you have to recruit your teammates one by one, you only gain new, random skills and abilities by exploring the overworld and defeating enemies, and being completely wiped out forces you to start over from scratch. She boasts high stats like {{Giant Mook}}s, has a {{Status Buff}}ing move that powers up her next attack or gives herself an Armor Pack, and has three powerful attacks, two of which are unblockable. Said unavoidable attacks can stun one party member or damage the entire team. [[spoiler:She's still the Final Boss even if you have Hessonite on your team because Rose's Room will make a [[MirrorBoss simulated copy of her]] instead.]]

* StatusBuffDispel: Greg's Blues Jam gives an enemy the "Blues", removing their {{Status Buff}}s and preventing them or their allies from buffing them while also dealing passive damage each time you use an ability.

* SaveScumming: Your progress is saved after you clear a stage, but resetting it won't respawn different enemies, consumable items, or the layout in RandomlyGeneratedLevels. However, in Rose's Room, the abilities, upgrades, badges, and party members are rerolled, so you can reset the stage as many times as you like until you get what you want among them.
