Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ever wonder what it would be like to play a traditional 2D Platformer like Mario, but instead of playing as Mario to rescue Princess Peach, you're playing as Bowser, and trying to kidnap her?Nefarious takes that concept and runs with it. In this game, you play as Crow, the leader of a villainous group who treats kidnapping princesses like it's a job, and takes his role as a Card-Carrying Villain rather seriously. Crow's ultimate goal is to Take Over the World, and he's not about to let some do-gooder heroes stand in his way. Determined to kidnap every princess he can, no matter how eccentric they may be, will Crow manage to finally cement his role as one of the biggest bads there ever was? Or will he end up an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain? Only time will tell.Nefarious was started on Kickstarter, just barely managing to reach its Kickstarter goal by the skin of its teeth in its final hour. Supporting a cast of developers from many different web projects, such as Matthew Taranto from Brawl in the Family fame, the game seeks to humorously explore the princess-kidnapping aspect of games of old.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Supporting a cast of many different princesses for Crow to kidnap, some of which aren't going to sit idly by while Crow kidnaps them, Crow will have to use every bit of his abilities if he wishes to further his goal. Some princesses, like the Energy Being princess Farrah Day, will have rather odd effects on Crow's power suit like supercharging it, while others will force Crow into some rather tricky situations. At the end of the day though, it all comes back to you fighting the princess' normal heroes, but with a twist... You are the end boss battle at most levels, trying to stomp out The Hero with Crow's Humongous Mecha.The development team has also opened a paypal for anyone who wishes to further along the project to meet the stretch goals offered during its Kickstarter run. Some of these include a musical stage, additional princesses to kidnap, a New Game+, and co-op modes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The game was released on January 23, 2017. An online comic was released nearly a year later, picking up where the game left off. See here for its tropes. Crow himself also appears as (fittingly enough) the Final Boss in the crossover game Indie Pogo.Now has a character page. | |

Nefarious (Video Game) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Played straight with Crow's status as a Card-Carrying Villain. Even in the good ending, even when you choose to abandon the plan, all he does is choose not to use the Doom Howitzer; Mayapple is the one who fights Becky to save the world. Crow never once commits an action in any heroic interest. | |

Multiple Endings | |
Nefarious (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: There are two main endings, with the Good Ending being unlocked by completing all of the sidequests. Bad Ending: Crow uses the Doom Howitzer and fights Mack. After winning, he successfully conquers the world with his army, with the only one to escape being Mayapple, who has decided to lead the rebellion against him. Good Ending: Having a last second change of heart, Crow decides not to use the Doom Howitzer, which prompts Becky to backstab him and take control. Mayapple and Crow work together to save the world and everyone lives happily ever after, with Crow and Becky deciding to patch things up between them and plan their next move. | |

Boss Battle | |
Nefarious (Video Game) / int_1e14ea2a | comment |
Boss Battle: The game twists this with its "reverse boss battles". Instead of fighting a boss at the end of the level, you are the boss at the end of the level, trying to beat The Hero to finish your attempt at kidnapping the princess. The trope is played straight with sub-bosses and Becky, though. | |

Royalty Super Power | |
Nefarious (Video Game) / int_390ad811 | comment |
Royalty Superpower: Princesses and princes literally generate magical energy that can be harnessed to power a doomsday weapon. Princess Farrah Day is an experiment into coalescing this energy into a sentient being. In the good ending Becky files the paperwork to deem Crow's territory a kingdom and, after usurping his rule on the spot, becomes a princess capable of generating power for the Doom Howitzer. | |

Powered Armor: Crow's power armor is calibrated to counteract the shock of his own grenades. So, instead of being blown to bits, he can use grenades strategically to access hard to reach areas. The justification for Crow's grenade jumping is actually used as a plot point during the Good Ending. | |

Friendly Enemy: Crow is an enemy of each princess's nation, but still bonds with them quite a bit over the course of the game. Even before the game, he and Mayapple are fairly close. Crow and Dr. Mechano are rival villains who both want to rule the world, and fight when they both invade the same kingdom at the same time. But when the battle is over, they share friendly banter and plan to meet up for a game of poker later. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Nefarious (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When dealing with Apoidea to find the treasure, Crow keeps his word because he thinks it's not dramatic enough to betray someone in the middle of the story. In the Good Ending, Becky does just that. In the supervillain museum, there's a note about how villains usually want to make the world a better place. Crow can change his mind and save the world from Becky. In both versions of the Bad Endingnote Whether you've ignored the extra missions or whether you did them and chose to activate the Doom Howitzer anyway. Mayapple can be seen escaping her imprisonment. It's the hint that she's the key to achieving the good ending and saving the world. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
Nefarious (Video Game) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Averted and deconstructed. The game begins with Mack, Crow's Arch-Enemy, deciding that he isn't a big enough threat to bother with and just lets him kidnap Mayapple, breaking the status quo right out of the gate. The rest of the game shows what happens when said status quo is gone and the villain is allowed to do as he pleases, eventually growing too powerful for the hero to stop. Played straight with Crow's status as a Card-Carrying Villain. Even in the good ending, even when you choose to abandon the plan, all he does is choose not to use the Doom Howitzer; Mayapple is the one who fights Becky to save the world. Crow never once commits an action in any heroic interest. | |

Having a Blast: Most of Crow's attacks and special moves involve explosions. While he doesn't have a double-jump, he has a Bomb Jump, which is similar. | |

Over-the-Shoulder Carry: Once you kidnap a princess the whole level consists of carrying her this way. Depending on which one it is, Crow gains an additional ability. (For instance, if it's Apoidea, Crow can jump higher.) | |

Expy: Princess Mayapple is a snarkier version of Peach, down to the name, the villain dynamic, and the go-kart races. The 8-bit heroes are structured like a traditional Final Fantasy party. Dash and Dr. Mechano serve as ones for Sonic the Hedgehog and Eggman, albeit the former is more of a guard than a freewheeling spirit, and the latter isn't competing with Dash at all. | |
