History VideoGame / HeavyMetalFAKK2

* DeathFromAbove: The birds perform dive attacks on you accompanied by a peculiar whistle of a falling air bomb. Step aside quickly and they end up beak-first in the soil instead.

!! Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.[[superscript:2]] provides examples of the following tropes.

* BeakAttack: courtesy of Eden birds. See DeathFromAbove below.

* {{BFS}}: Tyler uses a big white sword. [[spoiler:You eventually get to use it for yourself, and it is required to beat him]].
* BigBad: Gith the Spoiler, naturally.

* BlindSeer: The blind disabled guy at Eden Market who keeps insisting that ''there is a small black spot in the Sun which grows like a cancer'' and it's actually the [[BigBad Spoiler]] coming to invade Eden. Nobody takes him seriously and they wish they did.

* AnAxeToGrind: In the sewers underneath Eden Market, you can obtain a massive two-handed one.

* BioweaponBeast: "Fleshbinders", Gith's primary military units are biomechanical creatures ''hard to describe'' to put it lightly. Their base is a naked spine with 4 pairs of loose ribs, vaguely human head on top end and short reptilian legs on the other, which look like simply chopped off above the groin with still visible bloody wound. They are toting 4 different guns attached to their ribs and a flamethrower in their mouth. Oh and their skin is green.

* BizarreAlienBiology: The ''dark creepers''[[note]]Has absolutely nothing to do with VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}[[/note]] have jaws for hands.

* BlindSeer: the blind disabled guy at Eden Market who keeps insisting that ''there is a small black spot in the Sun which grows like a cancer'' and it's actually the [[BigBad Spoiler]] coming to invade Eden. Nobody takes him seriously and they wish they did.

* CallASmeerpARabbit: The Eden bovine cattle called ''creepers''[[note]]also has nothing to do with {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}[[/note]]. Some colonists simply resort to calling them cows.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: Aforementioned ''dark creepers''[[note]][[RunningGag still has nothing to do with]]{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}[[/note]] which live in the swamps are green-skinned bipedal reptilian abominations with jaws for hands.

* ChurchOfHappyology: Gith's robotic preachers: "Only Gith can show you that work is happiness. Join us!"
* CoolOldGuy: ''Gruff'' is this to a certain degree. The fact that he manages to effortlessly [[ChunkySalsaRule squish]] '''four''' ''dark creepers''[[note]][[OverlyLongGag is ''never'' going to have anything to do with]]{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}[[/note]] which threaten knocked-out Julie is [[OffScreenMomentOfAwesome pretty awesome]] by itself.

* CreepyChild: Aerial, the token little girl carrying that weird doll everywhere she goes, inexplicably appearing at places she could never get to so quickly and briefly getting possessed by [[spoiler:Tyler's ghost to foreshadow his return and desire to get his revenge on Julie]].

* GrimyWater: the Mooagly swamps consist of it.

* ManEatingPlant: in both the town outskirts and Moagly Swamps there are big jaw-like "flowers" on the ground. Let Julie wander too close and she's a snack.

--> '''Gruff:''' "Speak up or I'll turn you into a ''spider''.
* GadgeteerGenius: Otto, Julie's elderly friend who provides her some equipment and also probably designed Eden's shield generator.
* GadgeteersHouse: Otto's Workshop.

--> I've seen into the depths of your mind God-Killer and I know the fear that lives there. Would you like to meet him? [[EvilLaugh MhuhaHAHAHAHAHA!!]]

-->'''Julie:''' Umm ... you using that?\\
'''Gruff:''' Ahh, I see you got your eyes on my chaingun..[[SuddenlyShouting YOU CANT HAVE MY STUFF!!]] But for you, you can borrow it.

--> Gruff: "Speak up or I'll turn you into a ''spider''.

-->[-Julie notices a little girl she met moments before in an location, she could never get so quickly to: "Wasn't Aerial just..."-]
-->[-notices a semi-transparent ''fleshbinder'' holding the kid at gunpoint "What the...?"-]
-->[-Fleshbinder looks back at Julie, walks away and fades out into thin air. Kid wipes her forehead in relief and strolls off happily.-]
-->[-Julie: I must be losing it. Maybe I should go back to bed-]

* NoodleImplements: Just who is that ''bastard'' Gruff is so grumpy about and what is he trying to steal from him? The fact that he looks at it right after abruptly cutting his sentence short hints it may be his cane/magic wand.
-->[-Gruff: ''Don't get much company out here ... except for that bastard who is always trying to take my...''-]

---> '''Random Eden citizen:''' ''Those Shglieks have GONE CRAZY!! They've never been like this before! The worst is when you throw 'em in water! It's unbelievable!''

* BalefulPolymorph: [[ImpliedTrope implied]]. Gruff [[ParodiedTrope jokingly threatens]] Julie with this if she doesn't tell him who sent her.
--> Gruff: "Speak up or I'll turn you into a ''spider''.

* NonMammalMammaries: The ''Vymish Mama'' has these despite being an [[BigCreepyCrawlies oversized insect]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ariel doesn't appear anymore after Julie encounters her during GITH's attack.

* ElementalWeapon: the Fire Sword and Electric Sword respectively.

* EternalEngine: the sewers under the Eden Market contain huge mechanisms apparently meant to process waste. However, some of them seem to serve no other function than make racket and get in your way.

* FaceHeelTurn: the normally harmless ''Shglieks'' if they come in contact with aforementioned GreenRocks briefly [[PainfulTransformation shriek in distress]] before they are transmogrified into dark evil versions and turn on you.

** Some special flying bugs breathe flame at you.

* LudicrousGibs: if the ''excessive violence'' option is enabled, expect bloody meat chunks flying left and right with as little as a poke.

* AirAidedAcrobatics: one of the cliffside gaps in the Outskirts oe Eden is rather too wide to make the jump unaided. Thankfully there is an occassional upwards draft. Better time that jump right.

* GadgeteersHouse: Otto's Workshop

* InvincibleMinorMinion: Gith's preachers are completely immune to anything you throw at them. On top of that they still retaliate the attempt by [[MookMaker summoning]] a bunch of GoddamnedBats to pester you. Thus how minor are they is up to debate.

** In the final battle, one of [[spoiler:Lord Tyler's]] attacks consists of him spitting out a blob of green goop that bursts into several smaller blobs, which is very reminiscent of the GES Bio Rifle from the ''VideoGame/Unreal'' series.

* ShoutOut: The guy you meet at the movie theatre construction site mentions that he can't wait to see his favorite movie - [[Franchise/StarWars Star Conflicts]].

* MisidentifiedWeapons: Let's just say this game's uzis look nothing like their RealLife counterpart.
* MookMaker: if you attack Gith's robotic preachers they teleport in a bunch of frenzied ghoulish jesters.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Gith's troops in a nutshell. The Happy Masks are said to have been created from corpses of Fleshbinders. The Fleshbinders themselves are green-skinned cyborgs with various weapons mounted on their ribcages, as well as a flamethrower in their mouth. Soul Harvesters have their trademark Soul Sucker on one arm and an axe on the other, and if that wasn't enough, they have the ability to teleport.

* OffWithHisHead: how Julie [[spoiler:disposes of Tyler in the finale]]

* PlotDevice: the ''[[AncientArtifact Heart of [=WE=]]]'' - the source of Eden's power Gith is after.
* {{Precursors}}: the [=WE=] who created the Heart of [=WE=].

* SerratedBladeOfPain: once again the Chainsaw Sword as a rare heroic example.
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:The entire ordeal of bringing Eden's shield generator back online. Shortly afterwards Gith's ''Fleshbinders'' teleport in and blast it to smithereens.]]
* ShockAndAwe: the ''lightning sword''
** Also one of ''grawlix's'' attacks is this.

* ShoutOut: the guy you meet at the movie theatre construction site mentions that he can't wait to see his favorite movie - [[Franchise/StarWars Star Conflicts]].

* StationaryBoss: the ''Shkynerpad'' is a weird mushroom-like growth surrounded by a ring of [[CombatTentacles tentacles]] residing on round muddy platform. Due to rather hard time it gives you defeating it, it probably becomes ThatOneBoss

** Her first ingame attire is arguably more modest but falls victim to ClothingDamage later.
* SwampsAreEvil: the Moagly Swamps are full of GrimyWater that kills you on slightest touch and inhabited by all kinds of nasty creatures.

* TooAwesomeToUse: the health, water and shield potions. They're very rare and there's quite a lot regular health pickups in most areas so it's hard to determine the right opportunity to use them.

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: the final challenge - ''Bridge of Reason'' absolutely requires Julie to have full water supply to be able to run across it before it disassembles itself. If you took too much beating and also wasted/missed the precious water potion you can only hope you have some reasonably saved position to return to. Fortunately the game AutoSave at certain points - [[ViolationOfCommonSense unless you also disabled that feature.]]

* AbnormalAmmo: Besides conventional rocks with her sling Julie can also fling explosive GreenRocks from outer space or poisonous eggplant-like cocoons.

* AltFire: most two-handed weapons have one. One-handed weapons can be [[DualWielding dual wielded]] instead.
* AmmoUsingMeleeWeapon: the Chainsaw Sword uses the gasoline also meant for flamethrower
* AnAxeToGrind: in the sewers underneath Eden Market you can obtain a massive two-handed one.
* AncientArtifact: the Heart of [=WE=], the source of planet Eden's power Gith is after.

* ArmlessBiped: one kind of Gith's minions are crazy ghoulish jesters with fake smile masks which just ''love'' to [[GoddamnedBats swarm you]]. A few strikes with any blade make the mask come off to reveal their gonky faces.
* ArtStyleDissonance: nearly all enemies and even some friendly characters look incredibly silly and grotesque for the overall gory tone of the game.

* AwesomeButImpractical: again the [[ChainsawGood Chainsaw Sword]]. It's two-handed weapon which means you can't wield any shield with it and it chugs your gasoline like frenzied drunkard. Once you run out of gas it's practically useless. Not that the [[VideogameFlamethrowersSuck flamethrower is any better]].
* AxCrazy: the Soul Harvester flailing his axe arm around while constantly shrieking.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Tyler is resurrected]] by Gith as the game's FinalBoss . As an infernal looking orc with an ArmCannon no less.
* BagOfSpilling: after being ambushed in the sewers Julie briefly loses all her items. Fortunately she quickly gets them back.

* {{BFG}}: both the rocket launcher and the [[GatlingGood minigun]] certainly qualify.
* BigBad: Gith the Spoiler, naturally

* BizarreAlienBiology: the ''dark creepers''[[note]]has absolutely nothing to do with VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}[[/note]] have jaws for hands.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: besides her conventional sword Julie can acquire a flaming sword that sets her enemies on fire as well as lightning one. They don't require any ammunition, can be dual-wielded with shields or one-handed guns and enable commencing powerful combo attacks. Because of this, despite possessing multiple firearms lately into the game you'll probably prefer fighting most mooks up close and personal.

* BowAndSwordInAccord: well more like [[EnergyWeapon plasma]] [[EnergyBow crossbow]] if you dual wield it with one of your swords.
* {{Brainwashed}}: the people of Eden are hypnotically turned to slaves by Gith's robotic preachers. If Julie hangs around them for too long she might [[NonStandardGameOver suffer the same fate]].
* CallASmeerpARabbit: The Eden bowine cattle called ''creepers''[[note]]also has nothing to do with {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}[[/note]]. Some colonists simply resort to calling them cows.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: aforementioned ''dark creepers''[[note]][[RunningGag still has nothing to do with]]{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}[[/note]] which live in the swamps are green-skinned bipedal reptilian abominations with jaws for hands.

* CrystalPrison: in the caverns/severs underneath Eden market Julie almost falls victim to this but manages to pry herself out since the crystal hasn't grown enough to engulf anything more than her feet.
** However [[ThoseTwoGuys Jared and Eon]] who accompanied her on the way there didn't have that much luck.
* CutsceneIncompetence: when entering the severs Julie along with [[ThoseTwoGuys Jared and Eon]] are attacked by an unseen entity in the water they're wading. The guys get suddenly pulled underwater one by one. The second one at least pulls off an OhCrap reaction. Julie hardly manages to draw her sword before she promptly joins them.

** Also some piston machines underneath Eden resemble certain naughty bits and move in rather suggestive way.

* EnergyAbsorption: the Soul Harvester can suck out Julie's water supply using his arm-mounted vacuum cleaner. When you kill him you get the weapon yourself.
* EnergyBow: the Plasma Crossbow Julie's old friend Otto gives her.

* DegradedBoss: The ''[[BigCreepyCrawlies Vymish Mama]]'' and the ''Soul Harvester'' are first fought as bosses then later appear as tougher mooks. Sometimes you'll even face several at once. The

* DegradedBoss: The ''Vymish Mama'' and the ''Soul Harvester'' are first fought as bosses then later appear as tougher mooks. Sometimes you'll even face several at once. The

* NonMammalMammaries: The ''Vymish Mama'' has these.

* EnergyWeapon: The aforementioned plasma crossbow, later a plasma shotgun. The minigun's primary fire is a continuous stream of plasma. All of these guns share their respective ammunition.

* PlasmaCannon: The XP-80 Chaingun. The plasma shotgun also counts to a certain extent, with an underslung grenade launcher no less.

** Not only that. When maxed out, Julie will run faster and jump further which is absolutely necessary to beat one late-stage running sequence (as well as getting certain secrets). If your water is low due to taking too much punishment, that's the exact moment to use that precious water potion, you've been saving the entire time. [[UnwinnableByInsanity If you wasted it, however...]]

* UnwinnableByMistake: the final challenge - ''Bridge of Reason'' absolutely requires Julie to have full water supply to be able to run across it before it disassembles itself. If you took too much beating and also wasted/missed the precious water potion you can only hope you have some reasonably saved position to return to. Fortunately the game AutoSave at certain points - [[ViolationOfCommonSense unless you also disabled that feature.]]

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The
* NonMammalMammaries: the ''bug queen'' has these.
* NoodleImplements: just who is that ''bastard'' Gruff is so grumpy about and what is he trying to steal from him? The fact that he looks at it right after abruptly cutting his sentence short hints it may be his cane/magic wand.

* OrbitingParticleShield: the ''shield potion'' provides you a temporal one. It doesn't protect you from attacks as much as it zaps any enemy approaching you.

* DeathFromAbove: the birds perform dive attacks on you accompanied by a peculiar whistle of a falling air bomb. Step aside quickly and they end up beak-first in the soil instead.

* DeflectorShield: there are two different shields Julie can wield in her left hand. A small round shield deflects only light attacks but you can move freely while covering yourself. Large shield offers more protection but renders you immobile while in use.
* DegradedBoss: the ''bug queen'' and the ''Soul Harvester'' are first fought as bosses then later appear as tougher mooks. Sometimes you'll even face several at once.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The ''wymish bugs'' swarming up on that hapless [[CallASmeerpARabbit cow]] look eerily akin to a gang rape.

* DualWielding: A rather unusual system enables you to wield most single handed weapons in either hand and combine them at your leisure. You can wield sword+shield, sword+handgun, handgun+shield, handgun+uzi...

* EnergyWeapon: the aforementioned plasma crossbow, later a plasma shotgun. The minigun's altfire is a continuous stream of plasma. All of these guns share their respective ammunition.
* EternalEngine: the sewers under the Eden Market contain huge mechanisms apparently meant to process waste. However some of them seem to serve no other function than make racket and get in your way.

* FaceHeelTurn: the normally harmless ''shleeks'' if they come in contact with aforementioned GreenRocks briefly [[PainfulTransformation shriek in distress]] before they are transmogrified into dark evil versions and turn on you.
** What's worse this also happens if they come in contact with ''water''!
* FacelessGoons: Gith is apparently nothing except huge floating gas masked head.

* FeatheredFiend: apparently the Eden birds hold some kind of grudge against Julie.
* FlamingSword: you can acquire it fairly early and it remains incredibly useful for the remainder of the game.

* {{Mana}}: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] - Julie's water supply if high enough enables special effects of her swords but also serves as rather weak armor. Which is why you'll want to avoid being hit as much as possible and snatch any availiable ampoule, since without enough water your magic swords will become much weaker.
** Not only that. When maxed out, Julie will run faster and jump further which is absolutely necessary to beat one late-stage running sequence (as well as getting certain secrets). If your water is low due to taking too much punishment, that's the exact moment to use that precious water potion, you've been saving the entire time. [[UnwinnableByInsanity If you wasted it however...]]

** There are also weird "wine saps" hanging from trees. They grab Julie and insert her into barnacle like growth. They cannot be avoided but a single well-aimed slash teaches them a lesson.
* MegaCorp: Gith Industries - your new life awaits you there since work is happines.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: the Horn of Conjuring. The first time you'll play the game you won't even get the slightest hint it exists except coming across a tiki artifact and wondering what is it used for. It requires copious amount of puzzle solving to obtain and isn't necessary for game progress at all.

* PlantMooks: ''lympthorns'' are weird willow-like growths that spit acid darts at you and sometimes uproot themselves and walk around.
* PlasmaCannon: more like plasma shotgun. With an unerslung grenade launcher no less.

* SequelHook: implied at the very end of the game when Gith captured Julie's pregnant sister Carrie in the hopes of turning her child to his cause as they share Julie's blood and by extension her powers. Unfortunately the sequel never happened. And the passing of Creator/JulieStrain destroyed the few hopes to see it come to light.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:The entire ordeal of bringing Eden's shield generator back online. Shortly afterwards Gith's ''fleshbinders'' teleport in and blast it to smithereens.]]

* SimpleYetAwesome: again the one-handed swords. One [[KillItWithFire sets enemies aflame]] the other [[ShockAndAwe strikes them with lightning]] and they remain useful for the entire length of the game. In fact most of the time they're more useful than ranged weapons since most enemies have melee attacks only and move quite quickly.

* StationaryBoss: the ''Shkynerpad'' is a weird mushroom-like growth surrounded by a ring of [[CombatTentacles tentacles]] residing on round muddy platform. Due to rather hard time it gives you defeating it it probably becomes ThatOneBoss
* {{Stripperific}}: many of Julie's numerous outfits are rather revealing.

* SwordAndGun: once again thanks to the dual-wielding mechanism.

* WhenTreesAttack: the "wine saps" will grab Julie and pull her towards a barnacle-like creature hanging from a branch.
* WombLevel: the ''Sanctity of Blood'' temple.

* SequelHook: implied at the very end of the game when Gith captured Julie's pregnant sister Carrie in the hopes of turning her child to his cause as they share Julie's blood and by extension her powers. Unfortunately the sequel never happened.

* LeftHanging: See the SequelHook entry below.
