Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Malicious is a download-only 3D action game developed and published by Alvion (in Japan Only, in other countries it was published by Sony) for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita. The main goal of the game is to defeat a dangerous group of creatures known as the Malicious.The game’s objective is pretty simple, you choose a player character – either male (Valeria) or female (Erica), there’s no difference – then you’re transported directly to a boss fight. Yes, you read that right; there’s no level progression in Malicious. You jump headfirst into a series of epic Boss Battles. Your main weapon is a shapeshifting cloth called the Mantle of Cinders; this unique weapon can take many forms and stances for attack and defense. In the beginning, its forms are limited to close-ranged strikes and long-ranged projectiles, but as you defeat the Bosses, more abilities are added to the mantle.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Outside the game, there’s a feature reserved for its storyline — minimalism within the gameplay, depth in the side material. The main campaign itself is almost devoid of any sort of storytelling; you are given little reason to partake on these Boss Battles other than a short explanation which basically boils down into “kill them because they’re evil". For those seeking for a story, there’s a session in the Title Screen called Background Story; this menu is a short digital novel narrating in great detail the events leading to the battles you find in the main campaign.The game was released in October 2010 in Japan, February 2012 in Europe and Australia, and July 2012 in the United States, and is available to download from PlayStation Store. Because of the game's critical success, an enhanced port of the game was announced for the PlayStation Vita, called Malicious Rebirth which added six more bosses and some more sub-powers. On February 21, 2017, the game was re-released on the Playstation 4 and was renamed Malicious Fallen, which added content from both Malicious and Malicious Rebirth as well as new exclusive content for the system.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Darker and Edgier: The base game features colourful, gorgeous landscapes like a gigantic floating fortress in the sunset or the elegant, dark purple royal bedrooms. Rebirth's levels are darker, grittier and use a more muted colour scheme, and take place in war-torn, chaotic environments. | |

| Malicious (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: A few bosses have heavy machine guns as part of their armament. They are one of the most dangerous attacks to get struck by, as they shred even the heavy Shield in moments, and can almost instantly take you from whole to completely broken if the Vessel gets caught in the stream. The Vessel can grab one of these weapons for themselves (as the Needle). | |

| Malicious (Video Game) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Long after reigning as the sole ruler of Santville and earning the Mad Queen moniker, Ashlelei became corrupted and absent from her sense of justice, fighting the Malicious was futile, all was in vain, and in turn she choose to wage wars constantly to have any purpose in life. | |

Protection Mission: The descent in Pursuit forces you to defend the Submersing Circle's Control Unit - if it's destroyed, the Circle cannot continue descending, and the Prophets have no choice but to abort and retrieve the Vessel, causing a Game Over regardless of remaining continues. | |

| Malicious (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The end of Demise. The Vessel is irreparably broken because the final battle took place in the only place it could be repaired, the final Prophet intends to back off and only observe the world from hereon, and the rouge Prophet and his doll are still hanging around somewhere; but the Malicious' dark energy is purged (for now) and truly eliminated from the Vessel, and the Two Kings' and the Four Prophets' scheme is undone, allowing humanity to finally tread their own path, free from the machinations of the Prophets. | |

Power Copying: As the Slayer bosses all have parts of the power the Prophets gave them, it's only natural that the Vessel takes them back upon their defeat. It continues over the course of Rebirth and Demise, drawing additional power from its defeated foes and manipulating the Mantle into brand new forms. | |

| Malicious (Video Game) / int_5148024 | comment |
Locked into Strangeness: Valeria and Erica did not have blue hair in their previous lives. An illustration of the siblings visiting their imprisoned mother on the in-game novel shows that Valeria was black-haired and Erica was blonde. The Royal Robe equipment shows what they looked like before their deaths, and you can just barely see their faces if you look closely at the coffins beneath the fountains in Forbidden Floor. | |

Renaissance Man: Tesalus.

Driven to Suicide: In the backstory, Erica stabbed herself in front of her tyrant father King Eldrake, hoping he would feel pain after destroying her family and kingdom; it was to no avail, as he didn't feel any remorse. Valeria, after being mortally wounded by one of Eldrake's soldiers, also took the dagger upon himself, but his reason was to willingly become the power source of Queen Ashlelei's sword. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: Effectively, each campaign's prelude is enough of one for the Prophets to bring forth the Vessel and crush all opposition. Notable is Pursuit, which is a Threshold response (send out the potentially unstable Vessel) to another Threshold (a Malicious which has survived two encounters against the Vessel, even if only barely, and may very well come back in a form that the Vessel cannot defeat). | |

True Final Boss | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_8029fa50 | comment |
The True Final Boss of Rebirth is a shining example of this - nearly all of its attacks are either devastating or hard to dodge, shares a variant of the Mad Queen's Contracting Ground, and a huge health pool. By itself, it can be significantly easier than the Reborn Malicious, the previous boss. There's two catches, though. The only way to reliably generate large amounts of Aura is to Just Guard those devastating attacks; and if you don't interrupt a certain attack, it summons four copies of the enemy you just fought before it and attack alongside them. Theoretically, you're intended to utilize Malice Mode to crush the boss before it can really use any of its impressive arsenal, but that comes with its own problems - not least of which is that you just obtained it, and may not even know how to use it effectively. | |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_8f0dc93c | comment |
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Malice Mode in Rebirth onwards. If you can get the time to charge it up, it's more powerful than the third Aura stage and won't sap your Aura constantly. However, taking damage in that state saps a disproportionately large amount of Aura, and if your Aura hits 0, it's instant death. In addition, you lose any abilities you gained after beating Slayer - stuff like Aura regen, increased Aura from Just Guards, Whip - and worse yet, if you go Malice, you can't leave it without either dying or beating the boss. | |

SNK Boss: The Mad Queen herself. The other bosses are all balanced around your initial powerset and can be beaten in any order. The Mad Queen has ridiculous speed, and by being the only human-sized boss, she has incredible mobility on the battlefield to match. If she hits you, it's pretty much a guaranteed lost limb, and she soaks damage up like a sponge. If you even want to stand a chance against her, you're gonna need the best offense and defense abilities, and mad skills. | |

Enemy Without: The Mantle of Malice, an amalgamation of all the malice the Spirit Vessel absorbed over three bloody campaigns against the Malicious and its enablers and a further campaign against the Prophets, brought forth by Hexa in a last-ditch attempt to destroy the malice before it turns into another Malicious. | |

Does Not Like Shoes: Valeria and Erica's default outfits and half of their alternate costumes have footwear that leave at least their toes exposed. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Probably the only real flaw with the game (aside from the camera) is that the Nintendo Hard gameplay sometimes dips into this, especially in regards to the endgame Rebirth content. The True Final Boss of Rebirth is a shining example of this - nearly all of its attacks are either devastating or hard to dodge, shares a variant of the Mad Queen's Contracting Ground, and a huge health pool. By itself, it can be significantly easier than the Reborn Malicious, the previous boss. There's two catches, though. The only way to reliably generate large amounts of Aura is to Just Guard those devastating attacks; and if you don't interrupt a certain attack, it summons four copies of the enemy you just fought before it and attack alongside them. Theoretically, you're intended to utilize Malice Mode to crush the boss before it can really use any of its impressive arsenal, but that comes with its own problems - not least of which is that you just obtained it, and may not even know how to use it effectively. | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child: Both in the backstory and the main campaign: The Mad Queen's Mask and Sword were made of the sacrifice of her own children. Following their deaths by the hands of their own father, the Prophets crafted weapons for the Queen to overthrow the King; Valeria is part of the sword, Ashlelei's strength to attack, Erica is part of the mask, Ashlelei's resilience to defend. The playable characters, Spirit Vessels Valeria and Erica, are also made after the original siblings who died in the conflict between Queen Ashlelei and King Eldrake. | |

Arsenal Attire: The Mantle of Cinders, though a scarf in appearance, is the formidable weapon of the Spirit Vessels (Valeria and Erica), that turns into four varying weapons that which to slay the baddies of the land with. | |

Sequel Difficulty Spike | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_f0ddc769 | comment |
Sequel Difficulty Spike: Rebirth is much harder than Slayer. Its bosses hit harder, the arenas are more cramped and the enemy swarms are fewer, making stockpiling aura much harder. Pursuit is intended as an insanely tough challenge that canonically takes place after Rebirth (but unlike the other stories, is not required to unlock Demise). Thought one boss per stage was bad? Imagine having the Wing guardian, the Fist Golem, and the Undead King on your butt - simultaneously. That's not even the worst of it. | |

No-Gear Level | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f | comment |
No-Gear Level: The start of Demise drops you straight into a boss battle, with only the basic abilities of the Mantle (Fist and Bullets) immediately available, as if you just started a Slayer file. You have to go and break the seals locking down the rest of your abilities during the battle, though Malice Mode remains locked during this battle regardless. | |

This Is a Drill: The Wing guardian has some sort of gatling gun with an extendable drill. Ironically, the drill part is the least devastating part of that weapon. | |

Was Once a Man | |
| Malicious (Video Game) / int_fdad625e | comment |
Was Once a Man: The towering monsters fought as bosses in the main campaign, the Guardians loyal to the Mad Queen. They were once humans who also received aid from the Prophets, but these powers corrupted their bodies as time went by; these boosts were only meant to be a temporary aid, as they slowly corrupt their users. Even their descendants are affected, as the former Wing holder died during the original assault by Ashelei against the Malicious. | |

Lady of War: Queen Ashlelei in the good old days and as the Mad Queen; she was always known for being a beast in the battlefield. Despite having the looks of a slender goddess, she could best entire armies by herself. | |
