Renowned Explorers: International Society is a Strategy Rogue-lite released on September 2, 2015 created by Abbey Games (whose are also known for Reus). The goal is, well, to become the world's renowned explorers. Using either your fists, your wits, or your charm you must go on expeditions to far off lands, build up your renown by solving encounters and getting treasures, and then come home to spend your resources for the next expedition.The game uses a Turn-Based Tactics combat interface, but with a twist: Rather than hitpoints, every character has a "Spirit" value that can be reduced not only by violence, but also by persuasion or emotional manipulation, both of which may be selected just like physical attacks. As a result, it's not uncommon to have "battles" that entirely consist of insult-hurling or cunning diplomacy until the opponent gives in. Similarly, healing allies is accomplished by having a friendly chat or giving a pep-talk. Different characters have different variations of the violence/manipulation/diplomacy moves that cause different "Mood" effects on targets, functioning like buffs or debuffs. There is also a general battlefield mood mechanic that greatly alters the flow of an encounter in a Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors kind of way.Also notable for having a fairly large roster of 20 unique playable characters from which you may pick three to create your expedition party.An expansion pack, More to Explore, was released on May 31, 2016. As its name implies, it adds two new expeditions to the game, as well as a new Campfire mechanic where you can learn more about your explorers and help them bond with one another...or make them utterly loathe each other, depending on your choices.A second expansion, The Emperor's Challenge, was released on May 10, 2017. In addition to adding four new Explorers, the expansion adds a new expedition to the Anagogic Archipelago and a new mechanic where the Emperor of China invites your expedition team to participate in various challenge scenarios throughout the world.A third (and free) expansion, Quest for the Holy Grail, was released on December 13, 2018. It adds a new five-stars expedition about looking for the Holy Grail.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Some characters you bring on expeditions will insist that the occult is just a bunch of superstitious nonsense, despite encountering plenty of evidence to the contrary. Magical rituals, werewolves, ghosts, Egyptian gods...

Defeat Means Friendship
 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: The logical consequence of winning an encounter with a Friendly mood. Also, Rivaleaux's crew members each represent one of the three moods — Friendly, Devious, and Aggressive — and each of them shows genuine respect to players who can defeat them with their own mood.

Darkest Africa: Notably averted with the Mali Mystery map. The natives and their settlements are largely friendly and pleasant. Of course, that still makes them plenty dangerous to mean (ie Devious) explorers.

 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_1dd14f5a
comment
I Surrender, Suckers: Maybe surrender is the wrong word, but it's a perfectly viable tactic to manipulate an encounter to where both your side and the enemies are in a Friendly mood — and then take advantage of the +50% "backstab" bonus to nail them with a special Aggressive attack.

Anachronism Stew: While the game is set in the 19th century, the Caribbean expeditions features classical-looking pirates more than a century too late, and the Peru expeditions involves an Inca empire (the official Inca empire collapsed during the 16th century).

comment
Nobody Can Die: Even if your encounters are resolved with guns and swords, everyone is shown to be alive in the end, even common thugs and wild animals. Not only that, even if you run of of supplies in the middle of a jungle or a desert the worst that happens is that you lose attack power or the ability to take hits.

French Jerk: Rivaleaux, your main competitor for the title of the most Renowned Explorer. He makes his début to the player stealing the credit for your first discovery. Indeed the game often mentions his jerk-ness and his French-ness in the same sentence. Averted by Victor Signac, who excels with both his blade and a Friendly mood.

Absurdly Low Level Cap: Downplayed. The level cap is 5 and your party members will probably reach it during the fifth expedition or when you complete it. Even if you don't, you'll quickly reach the level cap if you complete one or two of the remaining adventures; there are twelve expeditions available.

comment
But Thou Must!: In certain events that normally have multiple choices, you are only offered a single choice if your party happens to have a character with certain (hidden) traits. For example, you might get to choose whether you want knowledge, fame or riches in a treasure room, but if one of your party members is greedy, you can only go with riches.

"Resolve" is a Morale Mechanic, a value which decreases each time a party member is downed (during an encounter), when you fail certain challenges, or trade it in a village for supplies. If your Resolve falls to 0, you lose the game.

Politically Correct History: The game is set in the British Victorian era, but the explorer society is completely fine with having women and foreigners not only as members, but in positions of authority. Intriguingly, the Mali expedition appears to be inspired by a real-life example of this: Victorian lady explorer Mary Kingsley.

Crippling Overspecialization
 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca
comment
Crippling Overspecialization: While most players tend to favor one mood — Friendly, Devious, or Aggressive — and can take crew members, Treasure options, and research papers that grant bonuses for using that mood, specializing exclusively in one mood will hurt you when you run into enemies and encounters that punish that mood. You are supposed to assemble a crew of various classes, as every map contains challenges for all four classes. However, you are also permitted to assemble a crew entirely of one class, which makes it harder to pass challenges geared towards any other class. There are four separate achievements for beating the game with a crew like this (one for each class). There are three main campaign resources (Gold, Status and Research), while the game expects you to focus on one of them more than the other you still need some quantities of all three in order to build up your team.

OR, with enough levels in Survivalist, you can bypass the door entirely by white-water rafting down a waterfall with nothing but a plank of wood under your crew.

Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp"
 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_ba7c20be
comment
Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp": Perks affecting the whole party are called "Research Papers". Hit points are named "Spirit Points", since they aren't a mere health bar but are also affected by insults or charm. The dodge stat is called "Grit". "Resolve" is a Morale Mechanic, a value which decreases each time a party member is downed (during an encounter), when you fail certain challenges, or trade it in a village for supplies. If your Resolve falls to 0, you lose the game. "Challenges" are skill checks.

Shout-Out
 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To the Indiana Jones franchise: One of the many treasures you can get is an Emerald Skull. Its description says "Way better than the crystal skull". You find said skull in South America, too. The Quest for the Holy Grail free DLC. Beside the new expedition's premise, once the new content is installed, the game's title (opening and main meny screens) becomes "Renowned Explorers: Quest for the Holy Grail", the subtitle being written with the Indiana Jones font. Jan-Piet Corneel is a shout out to the Dutch shanty "Al die willen te kaap'ren varen" The song states that only sailors with beards can do awesome things. The song constantly cites Jan, Pier, Tjores and Corneelnote Usually bastardized into Jan, Piet, Joris and Corneel as examples. Jan-Piet's bio drives the reference home by stating he himself cannot grow a beard and now travels the world to gain some respect. A mean adventurer can call a fellow NPC adventuress "Yosemite Hag". One of the boss encounters in the Mali expedition consists in fighting a group of hyenas in an elephant graveyard. Judge Druid, a Scottish NPC who wants to "judge" the player party. One encounter in the Holy Grail expedition takes place in an alternate reality where an evil cat rules over humans. This is a reference to Runescape and the Evil Bob event that used to be available.

On the Lost Island, when you reach the first goal and beat the Anti-Explorers guarding the LANDDELVER, you can then proceed to one of three different final bosses... or you can just bring in your airship and leave the island while you still can.

No Final Boss for You
 Renowned Explorers (Video Game) / int_f8727733
comment
No Final Boss for You: The game lets you bring this trope on yourself. Normally, players play their final expedition in Shangri-la (where they can defeat Rivaleaux) or the Lost Island (where they can defeat the Anti-Explorers)... but the win condition for the game is simply to have 2500+ Renown after the final expedition. If you already have that much Renown before the last expedition, you can simply fool around on one of the lower-tier maps, curb-stomp the boss of that map, and still win the game.
