* ShoutOut: Many Easter Eggs referencing popular works of media can be found throughout the game. To point out just a few:
** The movie posters is probably the most concentrated spot for this trope, as each one is a spoof on a well-known video game/film/anime, with gems such as ''[[VideoGame/DarkSouls Dark Wolf]]'', ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Aria of Moon]]'' and ''[[{{Anime/Akira}} Amira]]''.
** [[MagneticPlotDevice The Spark]], which much of the plot is revolved around, functions almost identically to its [[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Cybertronian counterpart]], being the fuel which can be used to power mechanical lifeforms, and can even remake organic lifeforms in its image (if Cicero's claims are to be believed).
** The [[TanksButNoTanks Assault Armor]]'s design is quite clearly inspired by VideoGame/MetalSlug, looking like a cross between the Nop-03 Sarubia and the Di-Cokka with its stout body and stubby cannon which lodges bouncing grenades at its enemies.

* DubNameChange: Most of the character and location names have been changed to either similar-sounding western names or straight-up literal translations in the English localization, such as Lei De Wen to Rayton, Yan Xi to Western Range, etc.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: There isn't a single clear-cut villain in the game. While Rayton is [[KnightInSourArmor rough around the edges, he puts his life on the line to save those in need]], with the thieving [[ButtMonkey Flip]] and members of the Rat Gang being the only secondary characters who could be considered morally-ambiguous. Even [[BigBad Cicero]] and [[spoiler:the Duke of the Rat Gang]] are both WellIntentionedExtremist types, as the former wants to evolve Torch City to preserve all of furkind, while the latter wants to destroy Cicero and the Legion (though he also wants to take over Torch City himself).

* AwesomeButImpractical: any EP-using gadget that isn't the Carrot Juice flask is this, with the exception of the grenade launcher; and even then, it's not useful enough that you'd want to prioritize it over healing.

* DifficultButAwesome: the Drill takes some time to build up momentum, which is necessary for combos; that might not sound like much but the combat's fast-paced enough that "some time" might get you killed. If you learn to pick your spots, however, the Drill is an absolute shredder of a weapon which can stunlock the weaker enemies to death and take huge chunks out of a boss' healthbar.

* LagCancel: the loading screen tips mention jump and dash cancelling out of the attack animation; [[GuideDangIt what ISN'T mentioned]] is that a rather noticable lag occuring while switching weapons can be circumvented mid-combo by pressing the weapon switch button while the previous attack animation is playing out. For best results, just press attack and weapon switch buttons together.

* Exploring [[spoiler: the Arsenal]] will net you a parry ability that is straight out of VideoGame/StreetFighterIII. It's very useful once mastered, but that won't happen overnight.
