''Unbound Saga'' is a 2010 side-scrolling BeatEmUp action game developed by Vogster Entertaiment.
Rick Ajax is an ex-military enforcer-turned-bartender and a fictional character from a graphic novel called Toxopolis, and is actually ''aware'' he's living in a fictional world, created by a comic artist whom is referred to as "The Maker" by the book's inhabitants. But Rick is tired of being The Maker's plaything and after a run-in with Lori Machete, a character from a different graphic novel created by The Maker during a {{Crossover}} event, Lori managed to convince Rick to work together so they may escape the graphic novel's universe to the world outside.
Along the way, Rick and Lori comes across Tian Razorbone, a third comic character from ''another'' different novel (one set in a post-apocalyptic universe), also attempting his own escape, who decides to tag alongside Rick and Lori.
Of course, The Maker soon finds out about their attempts to break free off the graphic novel, and starts taking steps to stop Rick and Lori... by sketching new enemies and assorted mooks in their way.
Compare ''VideoGame/ComixZone'', an earlier game with a similar premise of being set in a comic-book world.
----
!! "I'm a comic book tough guy. Trapped in a world of endless trouble. That's what I was created to do."
* TwoByFore: One of the obtainable weapons Rick can use, after smashing mooks through benches and crates. Sometimes a plank will pop out from the wreckage, which can be picked up and used like a baseball bat.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Lori and Rick crosses one early in the game, infested by thugs as well as mutant enemies.
* AssistCharacter:
** On single-player mode, Rick is the default playable character, while Lori provides the backup. She's no slouch at kicking ass, either.
** Tian Razorbone isn't playable in levels where he partners up with Rick and Lori, but he can help them slice up enemies.
* BackForTheFinale: Tian Razorbone shows up to help Rick and Lori, before departing on his own. [[spoiler: He returns in the final stage to help fight the last boss, and is present in the scene where Rick and Lori - and Tian - finds out they're actually video game characters]].
* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The opening credits (a DreamIntro by Rick) shows a sunny meadow full of cute, cuddly rabbits... who immediately grows fangs and tries to kill Rick as soon as he approaches them, with the screen turning blood-red. Then Rick wakes up and we get into the gritty world of Toxopolis.
* BareYourMidriff: Lori's outfits, consisting of a red tank-top and a short leather skirt, with nothing in-between completely exposing her middle.
* BattleInTheRain: Level 1 of the game where Rick first meets Lori is set within a rain-drenched alleyway, with her being harassed by some punks. Rick then opens up a can of whoop-ass, and both of them decide to work together from that point.
* BeastMan: Some of the enemies are beast-people, mostly wolf-men, bear-people, leopard-men, gigantic horned feral humanoids of unidentified species, and so on. It seems kind of random after spending the first few levels fighting human enemies, until you realize [[spoiler:the comic's artist is a sentient rabbit person]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Tian Razorbone have retractable blades attached to his wrists, which allows him to slice up assorted enemies.
* CrateExpectations: Crates of assorted sizes can be found throughout the game, and used either as a throwing weapon, or be smashed up for points. More often than not they'll produce a power-up or a health item.
* DamselInDistress: Lori, as revealed in her backstory, was frequently cast in this role by the The Maker, and after multiple kidnappings and assorted danger, ''wants'' to rebel against her creators, thereby forming a deal with Rick so they both can escape.
--> '''Lori''': For as long as I can remember, I've been nothing but a disposable damsel, trussed up for someone else's glory. One month I'm being tied to the nose of a cruise missile, the next month I'm being sacrificed to the zombie gods...
* DeadlyGas: Two areas in the game are clouded by "Radiation Vapor", which drains the oxygen level within the area. Mooks are somehow not affected by it (probably because they're beastmen or mutants - those stages don't have human enemies) but Rick and Lori must clear the area before [[AlmostOutOfOxygen the oxygen indicator at the bottom runs out]], which costs them a life.
* DeadlyRotaryFan: Present in the area where Rick and Lori fights the mutant boss, and one of the obstacles is finding a way to stop said fan so they could access the next area. Throwing mooks into the fan will shred a huge chunk of their health away.
* DownInTheDumps: The landfill stage, which comes right ''after'' the AbsurdlySpaciousSewer. No wonder Rick ''hates'' being a comic book character.
--> '''Rick''': Out of the sewer stink, into the landfill. The Maker must be laughing his butt off.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: ''Everything''. Justified because The Maker is actively preventing Rick and Lori, his creations, from escaping the graphic novel-verse, and thus creates every enemy to be hostile by default.
* FakeOutFadeOut: You might be convinced that Rick and Lori uncovering The Maker's true identity would lead to the game's ending. [[spoiler:Nope - confronting The Maker, who turns out to be a sentient, talking Rabbit, The Maker then tells them to follow him to find out the ''actual'' truth]]. The game then continues with another lengthy stage, culminating in a FinalBoss fight at which point [[spoiler:Rick and Lori finds out they're no longer stuck inside a comic book, they're trapped in a video game]].
* FromBeyondTheFourthWall: Inverted - Rick and Lori are aware they're comic book characters, and wants to get out and oppose the comic artist who puts them in. The stages are even shaped like comic book panels, with Rick and Lori jumping out of one panel and land in another.
* GainaxEnding: The final level - [[spoiler:Rick finally confronts The Maker - or rather, the old guy he met in the jungle stage, who turns out to be The Maker's mouthpiece. When Rick demands to be let out of the graphic novel, he's then informed he ''already'' left the world of comic books, long time ago. Why? Because he's now ''inside a video game''. The game then ends with Rick threatening the player before the credits roll]].
--> '''Rick''': [[spoiler: Well don't get any funny ideas, player.]] [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Or I'll be coming after you next!]]
* GrievousBottleyHarm: Beer bottles can be collected for smashing heads.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Rick can grab enemy mooks and hurl them into each other, dealing extra damage.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Rick is a head taller and several times larger than Lori.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Rick can kick ass with ''anything''. From planks and floorboard to road signs, wet floor signs, [[ShovelStrike shovels]], telephone poles...
* KungShui: Every indoor level allows Rick to destroy ''everything'' he can get his hands on. Actually lampshaded in-game:
--> '''Rick"': [''bursting into a small room with mooks and destroyable objects''] Nice Feng Shui... let's rearrange their furniture!
* MediumAwareness: Rick is well aware he's a character in a comic book, and the entire game's plot revolves around his attempts at escaping the comic world to enter ''ours''.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: The mutant boss have an extra arm growing from his right armpit, and he's a lot stronger than regular mooks.
* {{Mutant}}: There's a muscular three-armed mutant as a boss, and a recurring skinny, naked mutated humanoid mook with a SkullForAHead.
* NeckLift: Rick does this on the old man who seemingly leads them to an area full of radiation vapor. And does it again in the final cutscene, on the ''same person''.
--> '''Rick''': So what were you doing, playing both sides of the fence like that?\\
'''Old guy''': It's uh, rather complicated...\\
'''Rick''': [''grabs the old guy by the throat on one hand and hoists him upwards''] '''''Un'''''-complicate it!
* NonIndicativeName: Lori "'''Machete'''" fights with... her bare hands. And occasionally a pair of knives. At no point in the game does she get to use a machete.
* KillerRabbit: In Rick's backstory, he's constantly plagued by nightmares involving cute, cuddly rabbits... who would attack him with petrol bombs ('''!!!'''). Also, in the final scene, it turns out [[spoiler:the graphic artist behind Toxopolis, The Maker, is a sentient rabbit]].
* TheKlan: The cultist enemies who worships The Maker are dressed like typical Klan members, wearing red, pointed, face-obscuring masks and long robes, for... reasons. The first Klan mook even exclaims, "For the Maker!" before he attacks.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: As the game progresses, the enemies starts becoming increasingly outlandish and ridiculous, going a long way from the human-based enemies in the first few stages. Also lampshaded:
--> '''Rick''': Mutant zombie bear cannibals. Yeah, we're a looooong way from Kansas...
* ReducedToDust: As the game is set inside a comic book, defeated enemies all fades away into what appears to be eraser dust.
* ShowWithinAShow: Toxopolis is a fictional graphic novel universe existing in [[spoiler: a WorldOfFunnyAnimals. With The Maker being an andromorphic rabbit, who's writing a series of comic books featuring ''human characters'']]. '''Wat.'''
* SpiderTank: One of the game's only mechanical enemy, a tank on spider-legs, several times larger than Rick and Lori, carrying a turret on it's back serves as a boss. It also has pincers for backup.
* StewedAlive: Rick and Lori suffers this fate after their capture by some cannibals in the jungle stage. But they managed to break free and leap out the pot in due time, since the cannibals somehow forgot to restrain either of them.
--> '''Lori''': Rick! Wake up!\\
'''Rick''': Huh? What the...\\
'''Lori''': They're cooking us for dinner!\\
'''Rick''': I thought I smelled something tasty. [''escapes the pot and start punching cannibals'']
* SuplexFinisher: Rick has a special move that allows him to grab and lift enemies, before suplex-ing them down causing extra damage.
* TalkingAnimal: [[spoiler:The Maker revealing himself]].
--> '''The Maker''': Well done, my children! [[''Rick and Lori turns around, and realize [[spoiler: The Maker is a sentient, talking rabbit]]'']].
* TalkToTheFist:
** Rick's favourite method of communication. Here's how his first encounter with Tian plays out...
--> '''Tian''': I believe that's all of them. [''sheathes blades after helping Rick and Lori slice up some mutants'']\\
'''Rick''': Good. [''suddenly performs an AngryCollarGrab on Tian while slamming him on a wall] -- Now start talking! Who are you and what are you doing down here?
** And then turned around in another cutscene, when Rick inexplicably decide to ask a BeastMan mook question.
--> '''Rick''': Lemme ask this guy for directions. [''"This guy" is a hulking feralmonster, btw''] Hey pal! We're a little lost. Think you can maybe... \\
[''cue Rick getting a kick to the jaw'']\\
'''Rick'': Guess not. [''starts punching stuff'']
* ThrowABarrelAtIt: Rick can pick up steel drums and hurl them into mooks for extra damage.
* WhamShot: The cutscene when Rick and Lori ''finally'' meets The Maker. [[spoiler: Who's revealed to be a sentient, andromorphic talking rabbit]].
* WolfMan: The game will throw wolf-men enemies in the landfill stage. They are misidentified as werewolves though.
--> '''Lori''': Hey, it's raining werewolves!
* WrittenSoundEffect: Sound effects are portrayed by written words with every hit scored, with punches and kicks accompanied by a THWACK or BLAM. Justified given the setting being inside a comic book.
