*** Sands of Time Desert - [[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime Prince Of Persia The Sands of Time]]. You can see [[MortalKombat Cyrax]]'s head buried in the sand.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Near the end of the game the opening dialogue from ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'' is quoted. In the brazilian version of the scene, the "ill" part of the line "Mankind ill needs a saviour such as you!" is wrongly translated as "sick" rather than "doesn't/hardly". It's hard to tell if this was done on purpose or not, given the tone of the game.

* SelfDeprecation: The team that made the game is from Brazil, and they included a side quest where the heroes have to escort [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saci_%28Brazilian_folklore%29 Saci]], a figure from Brazilian folklore. Saci talks like the stereotypical Brazilian {{troll}}, saying stuff like "HUEHUEHUEHUE" and "GIBE MONY PLS".

* UselessUsefulSpells: Zigzagged. Techniques that cause status ailments are immensely useful most of the time, including ones that cause sleep or stun status as they're perfect for managing huge hordes of enemies. [[EliteMooks Elite enemies]], however, are completely immune to sleep and stun, and coincidentally every boss in the game happens to be an Elite enemy.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The "Wizards of the East Coast" location is - oddly enough - placed on the west side of the map. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that this is because you've been traversing the far eastern portion of the world map this whole time.]]

* RecursiveReality: [[spoiler: On top of the example listed in the TheFourthWallWithNotProtectYou entry, eventually the players pass through a mysterious portal that takes them to the real world. Both times they're still acting as their characters, and everything still runs on RPG mechanics.]]

* DifficultySpike: The random encounters at the final dungeon of the main campaign throw groups of 5 or 7 of one of the toughest enemies in the game. There is a clear gap of difficulty between those guys (plus the occasional ''lv70'' dragon on the same dungeon) and the previous quests. Then when you get to the final boss, possibly being lucky to avoid all the encounters, you'll find out he's [[HardLevelsEasyBosses much easier to deal with]]!

*** Maya Me Beach - play on Miami Beach. You can see [[SpongeBobSquarePants Mr Krabbs]].

* MightyGlacier: The whole point of Paladins and Knights. Warriors and Barbarians can also fill in, although they aren't quite as good at it.

** Becomes AwesomeYetPractical for a "solo" (two players, but one dies in the first fight of the game and stays that way) run with the lone player being a Barbarian. 30% more EXP helps them stay ahead of the curve, which is important in a solo run, and piling on lifesteal and regen makes them effectively invulnerable to anything in the game that doesn't stun and even to some of those. It also turns the Barbarian's utter lack of variety in its movepool into an asset, as it allows them to just autobattle their way through the entire game on nothing but raw stats.

* MeatShield: The whole point of Paladins and Knights. Warriors and Barbarians can also fill in, although they aren't quite as good at it.

* AwesomeButImpractical: one of the Room items is a rug that gives you 30% more EXP at the cost of losing control of your characters, this works as well as it sounds since anything more then elite mooks will cause your characters to attack at random enemies, whiles they will all focus your tank when you're unable to heal besides regen.

** Also, certain areas and area backgrounds have a few cameos/easter eggs

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In the first confrontation with the villain, he blasts the party so hard the players feel it, to even the DMs shock. [[spoiler: In the final phase of the final battle against him, he manifests into the room the players are in to kill them. Unfortunately for him, he brought the RPG world rules with him while being [[ClippedWingAngel much weaker himself]].]]
