12	!!Godfall contains examples of the following tropes:
13	* AbusivePrecursors: The Lore Codexes paint the Archons as this. They created the Valorians solely to wage war with one another, until Orin and Macros decided to overthrow them.
14	* AnimalMotifs: Many of the Valorplates are themed after animals. The exceptions are Moebius and Typhon. They are:
15	** Silvermane: Lion
16	** Phoenix: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
17	** Greyhawk: Hawks and other birds of prey
18	** Armistice: Buffalo
19	** Mesa: Ram
20	** Hinterclaw: Wolf
21	** Illumina: Peacock
22	** Aegishorn: Beetle
23	** Vertigo: Moth
24	** Bulwark: Bull
25	* ArtificialIntelligence: The Seventh Sanctum serves as this for Orin. He even comments that she seems to be more independent in comparison to other Sanctums.
26	* BadassArmy: The Valorian Knights, who are explicitly described as being "god-like" when they're equipped with Valorplates.
27	* CainAndAbel: The story starts off with a recap of a war between brothers: Orin and Macros. You play as the former.
28	* CallARabbitASmeerp: While they have a greater lifespan and physical ability, Valorians are the closest thing to humans in this setting.
29	* CoOpMultiplayer: The game allows you to play cooperatively with two other players.
30	* TheFaceless: The cast is almost never seen without their faces covered by a helmet.
31	* GenderBender: Certain Valorplates can allow Orin to be a woman.
32	* MadGod: Macros, the BigBad of the game. At the beginning of the story, however, it's clarified that he's on his way to ''[[GodhoodSeeker becoming]]'' a god.
33	* MacGuffin: The Skybreaker Monolith. According to the Lore Codex entries, it was an artifact designed to control the world of Aperion by ancient godsmiths. Shortly before the start of the story though, it was used to mine Aetherium. It's also large enough to house ''entire realms''.
34	* {{Magitek}}: The game's world is filled with this, from the Monolith to the Sanctums.
35	* OneManArmy: Any Valorian Knight is this, capable of single-handedly tearing through countless foes on their own.
36	* PoweredArmor: The Valorplates used by the Valorian Knights seem to be a magic version of this.
37	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The player character is Orin, who is looking to kill his brother, Macros, for betraying him.
38	* SemiDivine: The lore says that the Valorians are explicitly described as this, as they were the first creations of the Archons.
39	* SuperMode: Archon's Fury[[note]]activated by pressing [=L3=] and [=R3=] on Playstation 5 and Q on PC[[/note]], which varies depending on the Valorplate equipped.
40	* UltimateBlacksmith: The godsmiths are considered this. They're known to create powerful weapons and artifacts like the Skybreaker Monolith.
