  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Glorion genuinely too dumb to understand his own actions, or is he thoroughly broken by his experiences and his lunatic behavior just a coping mechanism? The flashback to his childhood shows a normal, if heavily mistreated kid, and whatever happened to him between then and the present is a total mystery.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Karn, the bare-chested, impressively scarred, gutterally-voiced barbarian king, who (in between fighting off assassination attempts) enacts social reform and responsible governance on his kingdom.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Season 2 used Political Overcorrectness for few jokes. The Gamers: Hands of Fate would end up not only using it sincerely, but going as far as building its entire B-plot from the extended cut around being as politically correct as feasible - a move that ended up being derided by its own fanbase.
  • Funny Moments: "Not a zombie."
  • Padding: Season 2 was artificially extended to fulfil the Kickstarter pledge of "feature-length". It becomes particularly blatant in the final episode, which runs longer than usual, but not much really happens.
  • Spiritual Successor: Or Spiritual Side-Story, to The Gamers.
