* BlatentLies: The game claims that you can only damage the final boss while time is frozen, which is completely untrue.

* GunsAkimbo: Drake can wield two different guns in each hand.

* ThrowAwayGuns: Drake doesn't carry magazines but an infinity of loaded guns. Instead of reloading, he drops his empty gun and picks another loaded. Which is stupid, since he's leaving behind tons of fingerprints and DNA that could easily be used against him.

* ObviousBeta: If this game was supposed to be sent out like this, we'll eat Drake's trenchcoat.

''Drake of the 99 Dragons'' was a third person shooter for UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} and PC, released back in 2003. It stars an undead assassin named Drake, the last surviving (kinda) member of the Dragon clan, on his quest to restore the Dragons' honor by eliminating the rival clan that killed them all and stole an ancient treasure of theirs.

!!''Drake'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* NinetiesAntiHero: Drake is a undead assassin with a black leather coat, a pale corpse-like skin color, uses an infinite number of guns, always beats up and kills his enemies, has a [[YourSoulIsMine soul absorbing power]], and he speaks primarily in corny [[BadassBoast Badass Boasts]] with a raspy, low-pitched voice. You may think he's a parody of this before realizing he was meant to be serious.

* HeroicBloodshed: It’s ''supposed'' to be this, with Drake’s moves and style derived from hallmarks of the genre. However Drake’s so bad about abusing his reincarnation ability (mostly for dumb reasons) and the whole thing is such a weird mishmash of Chinese mythology and TakeOverTheWorld that it ends up falling flat.

* BadassBoast: Drake attempts this as part of his introduction. Although in theory it should be cool, the fact he can't keep his mouth closed as he's talking to himself in an empty room and is playing with a pair of unloaded handguns all the while just renders it [[{{Narm}} a weapons-grade level of corny]] in practice --
--> Those who know my name whisper it in fear. Most people I meet, I only meet once. I am Drake, the Assassin. To me, life is all about ''death''.

In 2018 the game actually managed to see a re-release on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Drake dies in-story on a regular basis.

* BlankWhiteEyes: Drake has these, to make his undead-ness more apparent.
** Although his character model still has them even before he dies.

* InformedAttribute: Drake is supposedly a master assassin. His tactics? Run in and shoot everything around him, constantly throwing aside empty pistols covered in his fingerprints and DNA.
** He also dies constantly. Not normal gameplay deaths. ''Cutscene'' deaths.

* TooDumbToLive: At one point, Drake dives out of a window at the top floor of a skyscraper for no real reason- apparently to test his powers and see if he truly has become invincible. Spoilers, he doesn't- he predictably dies on impact, is called out on it in the afterlife, then sent back down to Earth.
** {{Lampshaded}} too. "The Undying Dragon can't protect Drake from his own stupidity."
