Dragon Force (video game)/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Scythe and Gaul.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome:
 * Goldark's theme
 * The "Apostles of Darkness" theme deserves a mention: a quiet, ominous melody that builds slowly into a magnificent crescendo that fits perfectly with their battles (which can be extremely intense and harrowing if you're new to the game, and even if you exploit every last weakness they have, the last battle with them can still come quite close).
 * The battle with Madruk's One-Winged Angel form uses a remix of the game's opening theme, making your monarch's Finishing Move that much more awesome.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Scythe.
 * Game Breaker: Dragons (troop, not general). They're good against everything except other dragons (every troop is regular against its own) and samurai (their only weakness).
 * Actually, Mages are pretty effective against dragons as well, if utilized properly. A good way to take them out is to put the Mages on standby mode, then have a general (usually a Mage) that has a spell that takes a long time to cast use said spell. Then watch as Mages continue to shoot while melee troops are unable to fight during a general's spell/attack.
 * Harpies on standby mode also fare well against dragons that are moving around on the map. Since troops standing still get to attack first, this gives them a slight advantage over the dragons.
 * Not so much a general game breaker, but in the early game, if you can keep your other fronts defended in Leon's campaign, a savvy player can abuse the fact that cavalry troops (a Fandaria staple) are weak to monks (of which Topaz has many), and practically wipe Fandaria off the map from the get-go!
 * Averted during the final battle against Madruk, where he doesn't seem to be weak against any particular troop type (he doesn't have his own troops, thankfully). However, shooters (Mages & Archers) tend to perform terribly against him.
 * In a way, the entire final battle seems to avert this, with the exception of . uses a unique troop type (sirens? ghosts?) that isn't covered in the manual, and Katmando fights solo, like Madruk.
 * Narm: When casting Sonic Boom, some generals will yell out "Behold, the BOOM of DOOM!". Exceptionally cringe-worthy...
 * Spoiled by the Format: There are eight member of the Dragon Force and eight rulers, is it any wonder that ?
 * That One Boss: Zanon. Oh dear God, Zanon. Also Ryskym if you don't have mages, monks or dragons to counter his neverending wave of zombies. Same for Zado(who's as strong as Zanon to begin with) if you don't have samurai to counter his dragons.
 * Woolseyism: In classic Working Designs style.
