* GoodOldFisticuffs: If you want, you ''can'' just punch your opponents in the face. Unarmed enemies will do this to you, too. Oddly enough, your bare hands can be one of the most effective weapons in the game; if you swing hard enough you can easily OneHitKill regular enemies kill giants in a few hits, and the ability to readily grab dazed enemies means you can tear their heads off for ''another'' instant kill or even just tear off all their limbs so they can't do anything to you.

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: You can indeed throw your sword (or whatever weapon you're wielding) to kill your adversaries, [[SubvertedTrope though it's hardly practical]]. In addition, there's also throwing knives.

* DropTheHammer: A two-handed, heavy-headed warhammer, specifically. It works wonders for smashing armor and sending the Mooks flying. The armor breaker is a smaller hammer that's also designed to smash enemy armor.

* MeleeDisarming: Both the nunchucks and the [[MartialArtsStaff quarter staff]] are capable of disarming enemy gladiators if you strike them in the hand.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: The chain caestuses allow you to fire off a claw on a chain to pull weapons, enemies, and other objects toward you. The claws even home in on the nearest valid object as they shoot out. Originally, these replaced your hands entirely, using the claws to hold onto weapons for use but was changed to having them mounted above the backs of your hands.

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: You can indeed throw your sword (or whatever weapon you're wielding) to kill your adversaries. In addition, there's also throwing knives.

* AnAxeToGrind: One of many weapons available.

* MeleeDisarming: Both the [[FightingWithChucks nunchucks]] and the [[MartialArtsStaff quarter staff]] are capable of disarming enemy gladiators if you strike them in the hand.

* WolverineClaws: Caestus-type weapons were added in a later update, one of them being these. Hell, this weapon basically does its best to emulate the TropeNamer himself as they retract and extract with a very familiar-sounding *snkt*. See it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoBZ140ons4 action]] or try it out yourself and try not to think of Wolverine.

As a VR game, the main focus of ‘'Gorn’’ is using your hands to massacre everyone in your way. The game features a highly detailed gore system that dynamically keeps track of your enemies’ bodies, allowing you to really go to town on them. Tear off heads, cleave people in half, and use all manner of deadly weapons.

* DropTheHammer: A two-handed, heavy-headed warhammer, specifically. It works wonders for smashing armor and sending the Mooks flying.

* {{Gorn}}: It's the game's ''title'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and it certainly deserves it!]]

* StoryBreadcrumbs: The only source of exposition in the game comes from a old prisoner locked in a cell in the main menu, who talks to you if you approach the cell door. [[spoiler: He was the previous grand Champion, until he angered the King and was chained to a wall for the insult]].

* MultiMookMelee: Since the enemies are all more or less the same, save for the loadout, this is in full effect.

* BadOlBadger: One champion, appropriately dubbed the Badgermancer, literally uses badgers to fight you. They are incredibly vicious and will attack anyone, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard including their owner.]]

* BeatStillMyHeart: Guess what happens if you stab an opponent in the chest?
* {{BFS}}: The Greatsword, which can be described as a Manga/{{Berserk}}-esque slab of iron with a handle.
* BloodyHilarious: The violence reaches such [[LudicrousGibs ludicrous]] degrees that it swings right around to funny. In fact, killing enemies in a gruesome manner results in a LaughTrack playing.

* DeadlyDisc: A bladed discus can be used either by slashing directly or by throwing it with the added benefit that it will [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang return directly to you after its first rebound off of a wall or enemy]], making it a great ranged weapon if you can grab it when it returns.

* DualWielding: Thanks to the VR system, very doable - more reasonably so with some weapons than others. Two-handed weapons will fall to the floor if you attempt to use them with one hand... Unless you use the crab caestuses in which you can grab and use the larger weapons with one hand.

* LastChanceHitPoint: Any hit you take starts a death timer, during which you can kill an enemy to stop yourself from dying but the [[DiminishingReturnsForBalance length of time decreases each time you save yourself]]. Players at the desktop in Party Mode can see this timer filling up with a color corresponding to the player that struck the VR combatant.

* MadeOfPlasticine: Ripping off your opponents limbs with your bare hands is surprisingly easy.

* SillinessSwitch: There's a Low Violence option that replaces the combatants with pinata versions of them that gush candy when struck, their ribs and bones are made of candy cane and their hearts are replaced by heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. This is both for squeamish players and getting past the content filters on Website/YouTube.

* WolverineClaws: Caestus-type weapons were added in a recent update, one of them being these. Hell, this weapon basically does its best to emulate the TropeNamer as they retract and extract with a very familiar-sounding *snkt*. See it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoBZ140ons4 action]] or try it out yourself and try not to think of Wolverine.

* AsymmetricMultiplayer: A rather [[EasterEgg well-hidden]] mode of play allows a second player to seat up at the monitor with a gamepad and assume direct control over one of the many Mooks, automatically switching when the currently-controlled character dies. Some players even like to unofficially play the game in this manner, [[FanNickname dubbing it]] "[[VideoGame/DarkSouls Gorn Souls]]".

* BloodyHilarious: The violence reaches such [[LudicrousGibs ludicrous]] degrees that it [[CrossesTheLineTwice swings right around to funny.]] In fact, killing enemies in a gruesome manner results in a LaughTrack playing.

* OffWithHisHead: You can cut off an opponent's head with a sword, knock their block off with a mace, or rip it off of their shoulders with your bare hands.

** This is even more amusing when the General appears in a Custom game with Battle Royale turned on, the General's [[FlunkyBoss flunkies]] will wind up targeting each other or even the General himself.

* DualWielding: Thanks to the VR system, very doable - more reasonably so with some weapons than others.

* UnfriendlyFire: Barring Custom Game mode's Battle Royale toggle, it's you versus everyone else. This doesn't stop enemy archers from shooting their fellow mooks InTheBack if you set up the positioning just right! Same goes for whiffed melee attacks.

* AchillesHeel: Played literally, one of the champions is Achilles himself and the trope is the key to killing him.
