* DoubleUnlock: to unlock the enemy characters for use in other modes (except Arcade Mode and Training Mode), you have to defeat a set number of them on the Arcade Mode, after that they will be available to buy on the Extras Menu.

** When playing in co-op, characters who run out of lives will eventually revive with a small amount of health so their player doesn't have to wait until someone continues to get back into the game.

* YeanktheDogsChain: One of the major path options is saving the hostage in the first level. If you escort her to a village, [[spoiler:she winds up killed anyway as it was all a big trap]].

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Ricardo, being a minotaur version of [[VideoGame/FinalFight Haggar]], has plenty of these moves. The same goes for the wolf, another minotaur, and the jaguar enemies.

* MsFanservice: Seriously, not only Gal, but every female enemy and NPC does have it!

** It ''THAT'' isn't hard enough for you..the last unlockable difficulty is called '''''Unfair''''', and it's the rough equivalent to '''''[[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage SoR2's]]''''' '''''[[UpToEleven Mania difficulty!!!]]'''''. Fortunately, there aren't any unlockables that require you to beat THIS DIFFICULTY.

** DarkActionGirl: Tracy and the female [[VideoGame/DoubleDragon Linda Lash expies]], although they don't have many attacks, they can be quite dangerous on high numbers.

* ShoutOut: since this is a tribute to the greatest Beat'em ups of the age:
** The first screen that you see after you start the game is an Expy of a {{Creator/Capcom}} CPS arcade board.
** [[ComicBook/XenozoicTales It's not the first time that the animals had returned to reclaim the Earth following an]] ApocalypseHow...
*** [[BonusLevel And you have the opportunity to ram through enemies and drums on a bike in an early level,]] just like in the Capcom game, but without a boss.
** Gal's design isn't really based on the usual suspects like [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Mai Shiranui]] or [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Chun-Li]]. Instead, WordOfGod confirmed in a stream gameplay that her design was inspired instead on [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Mina Majikina]].
** A cat and two wolf enemies are named [[Film/EnterTheDragon O'Hara, Bolo, and Williams]][[VideoGame/DoubleDragon , just like one of the first Beat'em ups that did this shout-out before.]]
** There's a group of turtle bosses in a later stage called [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Mutant Ninja Sands]], and their names are [[VideoGame/{{Battletoads}} Bash, Blitz, and Granuja.]]
** [[FinalBoss The Boss]] [[CombatPragmatist does have the same]] [[PistolWhipping good taste for guns]] as [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Mr.X]]. [[VideoGame/BloodyRoar Alternatively, you can see him as a fully mutant, ruthless version of Gado.]]

* LastChanceHitPoint: when two or three players are present (AI included), if one (or two) player(s) lose out of lives but the other(s) doesn't, the LifeMeter will recover slowly until it fills up, then the downed player(s) will revive with 20% of their life, and you can use this indefinitvely. At least, until all the players lose all of their lives.

* NintendoHard: enemies get in more numbers and hit really hard as the game progresses (even on Normal!), and there's also the CheckpointStarvation at the Final Stage.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Ricardo, being a minotaur version of Haggar, has plenty of these moves. Same for the bison and tiger enemies.

* '''Ricardo''': a powerful [[WrestlerInAllOfUs Luchador]] and activist of human rights, with his own arsenal of moves, ready to send his unfortunate enemies to a world of hurt.

** The first screen that you see after you start the game is an Expy of a {{Creator/Capcom}} CPS-2 arcade board.

** Also, continues don't matter, the only thing that matters is the route and decisions taken.

** A cat and two wolf enemies are named [[Film/EnterTheDragon O'Hara, Bolo, and Williams]][[VideoGame/DoubleDragon , just like one of the first Beat'em ups that did this before.]]

* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: when you defeat an enemy, you can keep attacking [[LudicrousGibs until it explodes in a shower of bones,]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombat just like a Brutality.]] [[NightmareFuel And no, the female enemies aren't excluded.]]

** Some wolf enemies are named [[Film/EnterTheDragon O'Hara, Bolo, and Williams]][[VideoGame/DoubleDragon , just like one of the first Beat'em ups that did this before.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Several endings have your character defeat the Leader, but fail to save Jennifer, which weighs heavily on them.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Several endings have your character defeat the Leader, but fail to save Iris, which weighs heavily on them.]]

But not everything is lost: two humans and a rebel mutant decide to fight against the savage regime by the leader and free the oppressed humans.
