* AllThereInTheManual: According to supplementary materials, the mutant outbreak started when a German scientist named Dr. Hartmuth Griesgram, fearing the extinction of mankind, began creating synthetic humans, only for the experiment to go wrong resulting in mutated abominations escaping the lab, where it then spreads to the streets and goes out of control. The hero's full name, Siegfried von Hammerstein, is absent in the game as well (he's simply called Siegfried in-game) but it's there in the manual.

----
!! Time to cleanse the disease from the inside out, once and for all!
* NinetiesAntiHero: Siegfried is clearly modeled after the archetypal immoral anti-hero, being a musclebound, heavily-scarred, ruthless killing machine armed to the teeth with assorted weapons and looking like he just stepped out of the cover of some 90s DC comic. (Specifically, a blonde Lobo?)
* BadassesWearBandanas: Siegfried does, and he's a mutant-killing soldier who slays enemies by the dozens per step.
* BeamSpam: All the bosses, including the first one. There's barely a ''second'' during the fight with the screen having zero onscreen projectiles, what with their tendencies to attack nonstop.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Several of the mutant abominations Siegfried battles are based on insects, including spiders, slugs, centipedes, and the like.
* BulletHell: On both fronts - Siegfried's power-ups allows him to fire his weapons non-stop and clutter the screen with bullets, slaying mutants in obscene numbers, but every now and then mutant enemies capable of firing projectiles will send their attacks in hard-to-dodge waves at Siegfried. And that's not getting into all the bosses' abilities to spam energy blasts everywhere in the confined boss arena.
* EscapedFromTheLab: Siegfried in the opening scene, where he busts out of the laboratory he's created.
* EyepatchOfPower: Siegfried wears one over his right eye to complete the archetypal "I'm so badass" look.
* FireBreathingWeapon: The flamethrower weapon is another pickup that incinerates everything on the wrong side of the screen.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: The results of the super-soldier project, basically, which ends up turning the entire city's populations into mutated abominations after an unexpected outbreak.
* {{Gorn}}: The game delivers the onscreen gore and guts by the ''buckets'' - slain mutants will explode into LudicrousGibs and remain on the spot, and it's possible to paint entire streets red with guts of enemies. Heck, even the congratulatory screen at the end of each level ("BOSS EXTERMINATED!") is written in blood!
* GrenadeLauncher: The game calls it "Mortar" but it functions a lot like grenade shooters from older arcade games: firing a bouncing projectile ahead which does SplashDamage in a wide radius. It can also be upgraded with the SpreadShot with devastating (but entertaining) effects.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe:
** Right off the start of level 1, Siegfried escapes his confines and sees various other experimental subjects in the same room as him, neither as lucky without their lower bodies.
** Among the scenery gorn, occasionally Siegfried can come across dead scientists ripped from their waists by mutants.
* MookMaker: Mutant spawners, which creates the lowest-level monsters, are all over the place. They resemble a giant mouth growing out of the ground where the lesser mutants will periodically crawl out from.
* MoreDakka: So that Siegfried can kill more mutants.
* {{Multiboobage}}: Bossom Breed Mistress, the second boss, is a purple-skinned giant mutant woman with three boobies, which repeatedly juggles about as she battles Siegfried. Kill her and Siegfried will exclaim, "Shake your boobs!"
* {{Mutant}}: Well, it's in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title]]. Every single onscreen enemies killed by Sigfried, basically.
* NaturalWeapon: Most of the mutants and all the bosses can fire energy projectiles from their bodies. Those which can't will claw and slash Siegfried from up close.
* {{Oculothorax}}: The lowest-level of mutant mooks are giant eyeballs which took up half their bodies, on insect-like legs crawling all over the place. Later on there are ''huge'' eyeball monsters growing from the ground capable of firing EyeBeams at Siegfried.
* PlasmaCannon: The plasma gun, which is named as such in-game. It fires bolts of superheated plasma instead of bullets or rockets, and is handy when melting the flesh off various enemies.
* ReflectingLaser: One of the power-ups fires arrow-shaped laser bolts, that when upgraded can bounce off surfaces until hitting the closest mutant.
* SceneryGorn: As expected in the aftermath of a mutant outbreak. Each and every stage, in addition to the hordes of mutant monsters roaming everywhere, also contains bodies of slain civilians and scientists, wrecked buildings, damaged vehicles, and plenty of decorative gorn.
* SequelHook: A possible one.
--> "The war seems over, but where are those whom are responsible for the massacre?"
* ShowsDamage: For the bosses, and for Siegfried as well. As boss enemies start having their health depleted, they will visibly break apart and lose chunks of flesh. Meanwhile, Siegfried's current health meter is displayed at the bottom along a shot of his face, which becomes increasingly bloody when his life is dangerously low.
* SpreadShot: One of the earliest upgrades Siegfried can obtain, which allows him to cover a far wider range than his default firearms. It can be upgraded repeatedly, too, up to a spread of twelve rounds at maximum.
* StationaryBoss: All the bosses are incapable of moving about, having their bodies rooted in a corner of the arena. They're absolutely no pushover though, given their BulletHell abilities.
* StuffBlowingUp: The rocket launcher and mortar power-ups, suitable for exploding enemies. Combined with the SpreadShot and you're in for some glorious fun time.
* SuperSoldier: Siegfried, which allows him to go OneManArmy on entire legions of mutant monstrosities and emerge unscathed.
* YourHeadAsplode: The animations given to the gigantic boss enemies once they're depleted of their health.
* ZergRush: The preferred methods of lesser mutants in attacking is by swarming. It's not uncommon to see the screen cluttered with around twenty enemies in later levels, making a beeline for Siegfried from all directions, only to be greeted by bullets or explosives.

--> Death and destruction lies in Siegfried's wake. Even in his darkest moments, sheer hatred persevered when flesh and steel began to falter. But this inferno cannot be smothered. Siegfried's very existence is poised on the perpetuation of war and violence. And so he marches on, against no one, against the world, battle for battle's same.
