10 | !!Unruly Heroes contains examples of: |
11 | * AdaptationalBadass: Sanzang. In the original novel he was an utterly helpless wuss, who would faint and/or despair at even the slightest ''hint'' of danger. In the game he's just as much of a capable fighter as the other three. {{Justified}} as he ''is'' a playable character and would be pretty much useless otherwise. |
12 | * AmbiguousTimePeriod: The game seems to take place in ancient China, but the exact time period is never specified. |
13 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Sandmonk looks mostly normal, if it weren't for the fact that he has green skin and yellow eyes. |
14 | * BeastMan: All of the heroes, except for Sanzang. |
15 | * BigGood: Guanyin Pusa, who acts as ExpositionFairy and TheNarrator both. |
16 | * CastFullOfCrazy: Every character the heroes encounter seems to have one or two quirks, whether they be bosses or just [=NPCs=]. |
17 | * CharacterTitle: The titular unruly heroes are also the playable characters. |
18 | * CloudCuckooLander: Guanyin, with her tendency to make jokes at the most inopportune times. |
19 | * DoubleJump: Wukong and Sandmonk both have this ability. |
20 | * {{Homage}}: The whole game is a very loving one to Journey To The West. |
21 | * FallingDamage: {{Averted}}. You can fall from any height and not hurt your character. |
22 | * FieryRedhead: Wukong and Sandmonk, if their battle cries tell us anything. |
23 | * DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: |
24 | ** Should one of your heroes die, you can simply revive them by giving their soul a good smack. |
25 | ** Additionally, if you die as one hero you will resurrect at the last lantern you lit as the hero next to them in the roster. |
26 | * EldritchAbomination: Most of the bosses. |
27 | * GroundPound: You can perform this type of attack to break frail platforms and squash enemies. |
28 | * HeroicMime: Apart from the occasional grunt or scream, none of the heroes speak throughout the entire game. |
29 | * InflatingBodyGag: Many of Kihong's moves involve him puffing up his body. |
30 | * InformedFlaw: The titular Unruly Heroes never seem to do anything ''that'' unruly in the game itself. [[MythologyGag Though if we assume each of them keeps his original backstory from the book...]] |
31 | * JustifiedSavePoint: The lanterns you can light by feeding them the souls of the enemies you beat up serve as this. |
32 | * LifeMeter: Each of the heroes has his own individual health bar. |
33 | * MightyGlacier: Sandmonk. |
34 | * PalsWithJesus: The heroes are on pretty good terms with Guanyin, the Goddess of mercy. |
35 | * PigMan: Kihong. |
36 | * PungeonMaster: Guanyin loves to sprinkle little jokes throughout her dialogue. |
37 | * RollingAttack: Kihongs LimitBreak. |
38 | * SpikesOfDoom: A whole lot of them in just about every level. |
39 | * SpinAttack: |
40 | ** Sanzangs LimitBreak causes his orbs to grow bigger and spin around him in a wide circle, damaging any enemies in close vicinity. |
41 | ** Kihongs LimitBreak has him blowing himself up like a balloon and then spin forward. |
42 | * TurnRed: The bosses will turn more aggressive the more you deplete their health bar. |
43 | * UnlockableContent: |
44 | ** You can use the coins you collect throughout the levels to buy different outfits for the heroes. |
45 | ** Collecting pieces of the Sacred Parchment will grant you access to different artworks. |
46 | * {{Utopia}}: What the land used to be before the destruction of the Sacred Parchment, according to Guanyin. |
47 | * WallJump: Every hero has this ability as default. |
48 | * ZergRush: The enemies main way of attacking. Bosses will usually call up a bunch of mooks to fight you when their health bar is low. |
