* CrapsackWorldEscapistSociety: New Babel being a totalitarian city filled with crime and poverty, VR addicts are a common find in most levels, to the point that the news point it out as a growing problem.

* FriendlyFireproof: Your bullets will pass through innocent citizens and fellow MiniLAW officers, preventing them from accidentally blocking your shots.

* LawfulStupid: The codec sequences often give you the chance to engage in this, such as reminding people of the illegality of past offenses while they're in the middle of relaying important clues. In fact, the Constable will often default to this, [[ButThouMust with your sole response being legalistic]].

* LawmanBaton: The [=MiniLAW=] {{Red Shirt}}s use these, and you can also buy a truncheon as an offhand weapon.


Added DiffLines:

* MoraleMechanic: Perps have a resolve meter, which is depleted by injury, being shouted at, and having bullets fly over them, with the impact of these events being affected by their personality type. Once depleted, the perp will immediately surrender.

* ApatheticCitizens: The various bystanders don't really pay attention to men with guns running around, tied-up hostages, or corpses. They do run away if combat breaks out, but then they quickly return to normal.
** [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] with VR users, who are treated as background characters, and show zero reaction to anything around them.
* AntiEscapismAesop: Delivered in-universe in the news segment covering VR addiciton, as the anchors argue that it makes one a less productive member of society.

* FriendlyFireproof: Your bullets will pass through innocent citizens and fellow MiniLAW officers, preventing them from accidentally blocking your shots.



* HandCannon: Some of the primary weapons you can get are chambered in calibers such as .454 Casull or 13mm. Yet another gun, meanwhile, fires explosive rounds.

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: The PoweredArmor of the constables completely negates fall damage, allowing you to survive any drop unharmed.



* ParryingBullets: The bracers of your PoweredArmor are capable of generating a bulletproof field, which makes it look like you're catching bullets on your forearms.
* PoliceBrutality: As your rules of engagement are non-existent (the only perps you have to arrest are those that you're specifically told to), you're allowed to shoot first, and your only punishment for killing surrendering perps [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment is losing the bonus points you would've received]].
* PoweredArmor: The constables all get powered armor, which grants them increased strength, high jumps, [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou immunity to fall damage]], increased running speed, [[MagicalDefibrillator and the ability to revive after dying]].



* [[spoiler:SelfDestructMechanism]]: [[spoiler:Disabling all the cores of the flying building fortress Pandemonium will trigger a self-destruct countdown sequence. Failure to reach your police cruiser to escape will result in the Constable being killed along with it.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SimultaneousWarningAndAction: Because most enemies react to shouting only if they're badly hurt, you're highly encouraged to yell for compliance only ''after'' shooting at the perp.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with most perps, as they will often try to surrender if badly hurt and/or shouted at. Some, however, have an unshakeable resolve, and will keep fighting until they're knocked out or killed.


Added DiffLines:

* TapOnTheHead: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as while blunt force is a reliable way to knock out enemies, it does inflict minor health loss on them, possibly causing injured perps to die.

* CoolGun: The Constable's main weapon of choice is this, and is capable of being fitted with different bullets and a secondary fire option including a grenade launcher and shotgun. As you progress in the game, you can also pick up barrel modifications which improve your primary fire such as higher rate-of-fire and noise suppression.
