History VideoGame / SigmaStarSaga

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Psyme. Her outfit looks like she has pasted breastplates and a pasted crotch plate. Scarlet (a human) [[BareYourMidriff really isn't wearing that much more]] than Psyme (a Krill female), especially considering that [[spoiler: [[ExposedToTheElements you meet her on the Ice Planet]]]].

* BareYourMidriff: All the female Krill soldiers (like Psyme) and high brass (Commander Zelly) all wear the parasitic BattleBikini. Scarlet wears a small top baring her stomach, an odd choice considering where Recker first encounters her.

%%* HotScientist: Scarlet

* MsFanservice: Psyme is a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe in a BattleBikini and Scarlet is a HotScientist.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The main cast. Scarlet (blonde), Recker (brunette), and Psyme (redhead).
* BondOneLiner: "Looks like his schedule's clear now."
* BossRush: Actually, it's more of a mini-boss rush, if such a thing exists.

%%* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The Final Planet]]

%%* StormingTheCastle: TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon

%%* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Final Planet

* ApologeticAttacker: Recker versus [[spoiler:Blune]], and to a certain extent in [[spoiler:his rematch with Psyme]].

* RapunzelHair: Psyme, though it's only noticeable in a few shots (her parasite makes her look like she has short hair).

* WombLevel: [[spoiler: The FinalBattle with the Tyrannical Overlord takes place inside the [[DoomsdayDevice Sleeping Flesh, Which the former has [[FusionDance merged with]]]]]

%%* WombLevel: [[spoiler: the FinalBoss]]

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:The Tyrannical Overlord when he merges with the Flesh Deity.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Scarlet will sacrifice herself to kill the Flesh Deity in the end. However, on a NewGamePlus, you can provide an alternative and save her life.]]
* HopelessWar: The Krill military outnumbers humanity's by a very large margin. [[spoiler:Subverted in that the Krill don't even consider themselves at war with Earth. Earth's entire military is seen as so pathetically small that it isn't even worth fighting. The two "attacks" they made? They were ridding Earth of an extremely destructive CosmicHorror type thing, and later simply checking up on us to see how well the Earth was recovering. Earth ''mistook'' them for attacks and retaliated, "like frightened animals who bite back after blood is drawn", as one Krill puts it.]]

%%* WombLevel: [[spoiler: the final battle]]

* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: ''Purple''-skinned space babe Psyme.

* MsFanservice: Psyme is a HotAlienBabe in a BattleBikini and Scarlet is a HotScientist.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead:

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: By way of a MeaningfulName to note the similarity between the two, your human [=CO=], Tierney, and the Tyrannical Overlord. Both are willing to sacrifice anybody and anything, even their own species, to get control of the bioweapon.]]

* GrayAndGrayMorality: Who are the good guys again?

* MissingSecret: sort of. The inventory code was for some reason copied over from the gun data code, resulting in about a gazillion more slots than you will ever be able to fill. May or may not count as a MissingSecret, but is definitely a case of lazy programming.

* BreastPlate: Female parasites seem more to protect their host's modesty than anything else (although, given their BizarreAlienBiology, the upper chest and nether regions may very well be [[Anime/Robotech the only places female Krill are vulnerable]]).

* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: You eventually receive a puck (yes, a puck) which -- in addition to fixing a few BrokenBridges -- can be kicked at your enemies. For far much more damage than your gun does.

----

* AlienInvasion
* AlliterativeTitle

* BigBoosHaunt: The Forgotten Planet
* BizarreAlienBiology/[[BizarreSexualDimorphism Sexual Dimorphism]]: played for all it's worth. Apparently, the females are telepathic, and grow wings when they're in love. Said wings are ''detachable'', and are given to the person she likes.

* CreatorInJoke: Commander Tierney is named after [=WayForward=] director Adam Tierney.
** "Tyrannical Overlord" is the staff nickname for [=WayForward=]'s founder.

* DeadpanSnarker: Recker
* DiscOneFinalDungeon: The Forgotten Planet
* DoomsdayDevice: [[spoiler: The Sleeping Flesh]]
* [[spoiler: EarthAllAlong]]: Most of the game is spent searching for a series of six planets which will ultimately lead to a DoomsdayDevice. [[spoiler: Earth is the "seventh" planet, which had said device gouged out of it]].

* GreenHillZone: The Forest Planet

* GogglesDoNothing: Scarlet
* HeroicSacrifice:
** [[spoiler: Scarlet]]
** Although [[spoiler:this can be averted on a NewGamePlus.]]

* HotScientist: Scarlet

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: any female Krill.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The Final Planet]]
* LethalJokeItem: The Puck. ''Looks'' like one, yes, and even Recker stares down at it in disbelief. Any player will consistently use it throughout the on-foot parts of the later game for the simple fact that, except for the rare minibosses on that front, [[OneHitKill it kills anything coming into contact on a single hit]].
** Granted, it is actually a sliding landmine, but you wouldn't guess just by looking at it.
* LethalLavaLand: The Fire Planet

* TheMole: Recker, [[spoiler:and Blune]].

* NonLethalBottomlessPits

* OneManArmy: There are two instances in wich Recker wipe out the crew of a enemy base. All by himself.
** [[spoiler:Not counting, of course, invading a military HQ on Earth and murdering his way to the Tyranical Overlord on the Krill Homeworld.]]

* PoweredArmor: Krill parasites.

* RealMenWearPink: The girl wings. Even the game makes fun of you for it.
** Verbatim from the game: "[[ItemGet YOU GOT THE GIRL WINGS! Wings like a GIRL!!]]" The "magical" sound effect when you deploy them certainly doesn't help matters.
* RespawningEnemies

* ShiftingSandLand: The Sand Planet

* StormingTheCastle: TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon

* WakeUpCallBoss: The third boss stage.

* WingedHumanoid: Sort of.

* WombLevel: [[spoiler: the final battle]]
* ZombieApocalypse: [[spoiler: the Ice Planet]]

* MistakenForPregnant: One [[CrowningMomentofFunny particularly hilarious]] subplot partway through the game has Recker [[spoiler:thinking this about Psyme, mainly due to an incomplete understanding of Krill physiology. To be fair to him, though, the comments made by the Krill characters hinted that something "miraculous" was taking place...]]

* [[spoiler:GovernmentConspiracy]]: [[spoiler:On ''both'' sides, as it turns out.]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler: Scarlet]]

* [[ItsAllUpstairsFromHere It's All Upstairs From Here]]: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The Final Planet]]

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Scarlet (a human) really isn't wearing that much more than Psyme (a Krill female), especially considering that [[spoiler: you meet her on the Ice Planet]].
