YMMV / Lugaru

• Anti-Climax Boss: The Alpha Wolf. He's very strong and durable, but you face him in a one-on-one battle. Compare that to the previous level, in which you have to fight half a dozen wolves (in groups, if you're not extraordinarily careful), and a duel with even a tough opponent looks easy by comparison.
  • Especially since you have a sword (which was taken from Hickory) at that point, which is, like, a three-hit-kill weapon, even on the apparently Made of Iron Alpha Wolf.
  • In fact, if you time it correctly, you can backflip behind him and one-hit-kill him with the sword.
• Fridge Horror: During the start of the game, Jack asks Turner to go to the Rocky Hall in order to find two bodyguards that hadn't yet turned up to protect Turner's home village. The Fridge Horror kicks in after finding out that Jack is a traitor. The game reveals later that Jack had put a bounty on Turner's head at the Rocky Hall. Think of it: If Turner had angrily gone to the Rocky Hall to find those guards right after he finished killing the raiders, He'd probably be dead.
• Magnificent Bastard: Turner is a rabbit ex-soldier whose village and family is killed following a bandit raid. Setting out for vengeance, he kills numerous bandits with a combination of combat pragmatism, wits, and agility. Uncovering King Hickory's plan to let the wolves use the rabbits as a food source to his royal guard, Turner becomes their de facto ruler. Infiltrating the wolves territory, he defeats the exiled King Hickory after calling out his cowardice and then kills the Alpha Wolf, his mate and even cubs, before relinquishing his authority to wander the world. Returning in Overgrowth, Turner fights the slaver group The Catchers and their leader, the cat noblewoman Amethyst. With the assistance of the Rabbits of the Moon, he defeats numerous captains, showing his pragmatism when he grants a raider a death in combat in exchange for information. Abducted to fight in Amethyst's Gladiator Games, Turner makes his way up the games until he confronts Amethyst while the Rabbits of the Moon stage a distraction. When Amethyst tries to bargain, he provokes her into combat by mocking her and breaking her pride and then escapes the city the games were held. As the Rabbits of the Moon remain hunted, Turner kills the guards denying them access to their former home before setting off on his own to wander once more.
• Obvious Beta: Lugaru has a very fluid and unique combat system, and is a complete game. That said, it definitely shows it's humble origins as a high-school project: its level designs are remarkably simple, its campaign mode is short and has some unused content in the files, showing that Multiple Endings were removed from the final game.
• Moment of Awesome: Killing your first wolf.
• That One Level: Even the creator himself admits that the level where you fight the three wolves is way too hard.
  • The Empire expansion takes this even further. In the aforementioned level, you can at least fight each wolf individually. In Empire, you will have to fight, at two separate points in the game, two and then three wolves all at the same time. Empire in general is quite difficult, and the late-game boss enemies are typically equipped with swords and flanked by wolves. Ancestral Tales has a twist: almost the first mission forces you to take on somewhere around seven wolves, frequently in pairs, but the player character at that point is Claire, who is a fox (a reskinned and slightly-shrunk wolf), and therefore far faster, tougher, and stronger than a rabbit.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Just because the cast is mainly cute talking rabbits doesn't make this a children's game by any means. Overall, this game is about a child friendly as Braveheart.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Word of God states that this one reason the creators designed the game around animals instead of humans was to avoid depicting human-on-human violence.
