History YMMV / SentinelsOfTheMultiverse

** All battles in the video game have the theme song of the ''environment'', not the ''villain''. Usually this is fine, but things can quickly take a turn for the ridiculous if you have, say, the wacky "Flash Gordon" style Enclave Of The Endlings theme playing as you try to stop Spite from gutting children.

** All battles in the video game have the theme song of the ''environment'', not the ''villain''. Usually this is fine, but there can easily be a clash if you have, say, the wacky "Flash Gordon" style theme of the Enclave Of The Endlings while fighting [[CompleteMonster Spite]]. And there are some which just clash with battle ''at all'', like the Maerynian Refuge lofi nature sounds.

* {{Narm}}: The battle with Progeny is one of the darkest, harshest, most violent events in the story before the coming of [=OblivAeon=]. Then... his head pops off and flies off into space. It's a bit... wacky, by even Christopher Badell's own admission. Not helped by the name of K.N.Y.F.E.'s limited series that has her chasing it -- "[[PunBasedTitle Headhunter]]."

** Interactions between some of the heroes and [=OblivAeon=] rewards can get very silly. For example, Mr Fixer -- something of a TierInducedScrappy in normal play -- can combine Bloody Knuckles, Alternating Tiger Claw, Harmony, and Dual Crowbars with the Mecha-Knight to deal anywhere up to 25 points of irreducible damage to one target and 45 to another, with one power use, without even a damage buff from outside. Throw on other effects like El Mejor Legado or an [=OblivAeon Shard=] at high Doom and you can obliterate even the usually NighInvulnerable Scion version of Rainek Kel'Voss in seconds while also dealing heavy damage to other opponents. (The kicker? [[NintendoHard This may still not be enough to even slow down with [=OblivAeon=]]].)

* ThatOneAchievement: A few of the achievements in the video game are tricky, but the one to unlock Darkwatch Setback takes the cake. To unlock it, you need to win a game against [[ThatOneBoss The Chairman]] in [[ThatOneLevel Rook City]] with a team consisting of Setback, Darkwatch Nightmist, [[TierInducedScrappy Darkwatch Expatriette, and Darkwatch Mr. Fixer]]. To put this in perspective, the One Shot (official weekly challenges) which has Dark Watch Expatriette, DW Fixer, and DW Nightmist against the Chairman in Rook City is called "Ridiculous Challenge Time" and has been reported by the digital creators to have a win percentage rate in the single digits.

* TierInducedScrappy: The Rook City heroes are commonly seen as this, with some players seeing significant weaknesses and attempting fixes. Both of them are seen as performing much better when they have allies to support them. And in both cases, many prefer their variant cards. Notably, the Rook City expansion was only the second in the gameline's history, and, unlike the original core set, never had an "updated" re-release, meaning they are also the ''oldest'' heroes in the gameline.
** Expatriette has a lot of different damage options going for her, but suffers from a lack of card draw and no ways to increase the size of her hand on her own. Considering her base power is to play an additional card, she can quickly find herself with nothing to play. She's the only character whose deck-search cards -- Arsenal Access and Quick Draw -- don't come with an additional draw, play, or other action (like Wraith's Impromptu Invention or Absolute Zero's Onboard Module Installation), making the latter useless if her signature guns, Pride and Prejudice, are already in play. And Arsenal Access only works on the next two Equipment cards in her deck, rather than exactly the card she wants. Typically, house-rule fixes for her involve changing her deck-searches to include an additional draw and play. Her variant, Dark Watch Expatriette, switches out her normal power for one that provides a +1 boost to her own damage until the end of her next turn, which doesn't help her with drawing, but makes it harder for her to run out of cards and drastically improves her guns and ammo when spending time to setup, as well as boosting Hairtrigger Reflexes.
** While Mr. Fixer has ways to increase his damage, many see flaws in how he can't both boost his damage and get his special effects in play if he's faced with any sort of damage reduction. Using Hoist Chain (which debuffs Mr. Fixer's target) means forgoing the +1 damage from Dual Crowbars or Pipe Wrench, and using Driving Mantis (which allows him limited AttackDeflector effect), Alternating Tiger Claw (which makes his damage [[ArmorPiercing irreducible]]), or Riveting Crane (which removes his target's DamageReduction for a round) means forgoing Greased Monkey Fist's +1 to damage. One popular fix for him is the "Stance Shifting Master" custom variant, which boosts Fixer's Strike damage by +1 if he played a Style or Tool that turn. His official variant, Dark Watch Mr. Fixer, boosts his base damage to a whopping 3 instead of 1, with the caveat that he must destroy a hero equipment or ongoing card. While this can be painful, it encourages the player to use more of Fixer's equipment rather than falling into [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome the max-damage combo]], helps him push through his special effects when needed, turns Bloody Knuckles from a calculated risk to a risk-free +2 boost, and changes his overall team role from low-damage support into a carry that works best when he has friends feeding him cards to destroy.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Wager Master with his instant-win/lose conditions. The heroes can get powers, build themselves up, get all the combos they need and then Wager Master draws a card and the game instantly ends. It's even entirely possible for the game to end ''before the players can play any cards at all''.
