* AnAesop: [[spoiler:The corrupting nature Weapons used to defend people soon turns to destroy, as shown with Flame being consumed by the power of Ravenous's weapon and take control of his army in the bad ending.]]

* {{Retraux}}: Twice over. The games graphics are a love letter to classic [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] games while the artsyle is designed to be reminiscent of classic anime from the 80's and early 90's. The album cover from the ''Music/{{Powerglove}}'' rendition of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LynYh5uHw-k the main theme]] does it's own take, calling to mind the "westernized" artworks from the same time period.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The photograph of pre-corruption Blaze resembles how April O'Neil appeared in the WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 cartoon.]]
** The scene where Grit leads four turtles through a sewer in the good ending's credits scene should look familiar to people who know about ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.
** Some of the weapons the Horseman can drop include a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Joy-con, [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Gut's sword]], and what seems to be a paddle with the 1up icon from the NES ''Franchise/MegaMan'' games.

* LastSecondEndingChoice: The ending you get [[spoiler:depends on whether you choose to keep the weapon that Ravenous leaves behind after his defeat, or break it]].

** In the bad ending, [[spoiler:Flame falls to the temptation of Ravenous's spear under the belief she's safeguarding the Earth, and fights with the Horseman. As the last scene shows, he loses, and Flame and Grit become the new leaders of Ravenous's forces.]]

From dark deep space, giant weapons, including swords, lances, and hammers, falling into Earth's orbit, trailed across the sky and pierced their way through historic locations all around the world. As a declaration of war against mankind, the Parthenon, atop the Acropolis of Athens, was first to be cut through by an ominous blade. Upon impact, each of the weapons opened a breach in the fabric of reality and unleashed legions of gigantic demons.

* TemporaryPlatforms: Of both the "suddenly collapse from under you" type and of a unique type where they ''explode'' after a few seconds.
