Line 181:
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: Later stages shows how far the influence of evil is displayed, from decaying corpses in an abandoned village to {{spoiler|the Land of the Dead, the very definition of [[Hell On Earth]]}}.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: To an absolutely ridiculous extent. A very early level, a swamp, may have you remarking upon how gorgeous the foliage is (and marveling that apparently the swamp is filled with the fallen corpses of ''green dragons''.)
* [[Schizo -Tech]]: Frankenstein's laboratory, the game is supposed to be set in 1047 AD, yet we encounter lots of mechanical devices powered by electricity, the Mechanical Monstrosity which is effectively a robot with a human brain, and a '''Tesla coil''' with ''that very same name'' (Nikola Tesla was born in 1856).
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: The Chupacabra for the player.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: After the credits, we see {{spoiler|Zobek meet with Gabriel, who is now Dracula, and ask him for help to stop Satan from returning. In return, he'll help Dracula finally die. And this takes place in modern times.}} Curiously, while this game is supposedly an [[Alternate Continuity]], it seems to be hinting at {{spoiler|the long-awaited 1999 incident mentioned in the Sorrow games.}}
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: The Forgotten One from the DLC packs.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Star Wars|"Search your soul, Gabriel. You know it to be true."]]
** The way the Chupacabras speak is also very Yoda-like.
** [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|What am I fighting for?]]
Line 197:
*** And we also have {{spoiler|Zobek}} as the [[Metal Gear|Big Boss]].
*** {{spoiler|Pan is Grey Fox, whose fighting style and personality is not dissimilar to Pan's.}}
** Also, Scrolls of deceased knights talking about a tree named [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|"Dek]][[Spell My Name With an "S"|uh"]].
*** From another scroll: A deceased knight mourns the death of two of his companions and vows revenge. The names of those companions? [[Day of the Tentacle|Sister Laverne and Brother Bernard]]. The log is signed H{{spoiler|oagy}}.
** The game's visual style is heavily influenced by the films of [[Guillermo Del Toro]], and several elements could be considered shout outs, from the appearance of Pan to the fact that the ghouls' lower jaws split open in a fashion identical to those of the Reaper Strain vampires in ''Blade II''.
Line 210:
* [[Snow Means Death]]: The castle is now constantly snowy and covered in ice.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: {{spoiler|For Gabriel, especially in the DLC.}}
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Played with. A character like this is introduced but after a few missions of annoying you, {{spoiler|she's killed. [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]].}}
* [[Swamps Are Evil]]: Goblins, trolls, poisonous bogs... and clingy naiads that have ''really'' let themselves go.
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Gabriel. Even Zobek thinks so: "He's so dark, so beautiful".
Line 236:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: {{spoiler|Gabriel is revealed to be Dracula after the credits.}}
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Carmilla, [[The Vamp|as you would have probably expected]], makes this offer to Gabriel. She doesn't appreciate him turning her down. {{spoiler|Satan}} also offers this to Gabriel, but is quick to withdraw it when he refuses.
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|EU SUNT DRACUL!}}
* [[Whip Sword]]: The Silver Warrior.
* [[Whispering Ghosts]]: Disembodied voices can be heard in The Dead Bog stage.
Line 243:
* [[Wicked Witch]]: Baba Yaga. {{spoiler|Sends Gabriel on a quest to assist in a spell that will make her a [[Hot Witch]].}}
** {{spoiler|Sadly, we never get to see this transformation.}}
* [[WomaninWoman in Black]]: Carmilla fits this to a T.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Dracula}}.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: {{spoiler|The Forgotten One calls Gabriel this.}}
