Line 23:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: If you can beat {{spoiler|Dem}} in the main game, he'll join your party. Played straight ''and'' subverted in ''Cthulhu's Angels'': {{spoiler|Dark Umi}} is a mandatory recruit and {{spoiler|Sara takes Dem's place as the [[Bonus Boss]]}}. Subverted with {{spoiler|Dacre and Ember}}: since this is a different story than that of the main campaign, events unfold somewhat differently...
* [[Dem Bones]]: The name of a commonly encountered enemy. [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Guess what it is.]] Also a [[Shout Out]] to the name of the main character in ''[[Breath of Death VII]]'', by the same developers. {{spoiler|Dem himself is actually a recruitable NPC.}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Punch Out]] {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|AZATHOTH?]]}}
* Dronejam: There's an area where there's [[NP Cs]] permanently stationed in front of a bunch of doors, and you can't get in no matter what. If you talk with the [[NP Cs]], they just say "sorry, you're not allowed inside". Eventually after talking to one, your party members will say to themselves that there's probably nothing behind the doors anyway and that the developers are obviously doing it just to mess with you.
* [[Emo]]: October shows vague hints of this at points. For example, when Umi asks her what her blood type is:
Line 50:
* [[New Game Plus]]: The PC version has extra content, and when it was released, the Xbox Indie version was updated to the new version.
** There are also a couple of alternate game modes. Including one that makes you level 40 after a single battle. And multiple difficulties.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In a rare {{spoiler|meta-example, the player does this to ''themselves'' at the end of the Cthulhu's Angels campaign. In leading the party to save the world, you convince Cthulhu to spare it - and he decides to go destroy Earth instead.}}
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: ''Cthulhu's Angels'' gives us Molly, who is a were-zompire as a result of being killed by a vampire, a werewolf and a zombie at the same time. She's a [[Mythology Gag]] to one of Zeboyd's older games.
* {{spoiler|[[No Ending]]: After regaining his powers, Cthulhu plans to pick up where he left off with his world conquest, but the narrator wants to shoot for a more happier ending, but concedes he should stick with the source material (that Cthulhu is evil incarnate) and slaps on a final dungeon and boss and then...that's it. Apparently, the narrator ran out of ideas.}}
Line 69:
** The bonus bosses in the Soulcaster cave are based on, [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|you guessed it]], [[Soulcaster (Video Game)|Soulcaster]].
** One of the skill-raising chests contains "[[The Lord of the Rings|rings of power]]".
* [[Super
* [[Talking Weapon]]: Sharpe.
* [[Teaser Equipment]]: Yhere's some extremely high level armor for the [[Staff Chick]] in the first shop you find. The price is suitably high.
Line 81:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: No shirt can contain the awesomeness that is Chtulhu!
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to the Commentary, the towns' pubs were originally going to contain a [[Dating Sim]] minigame between Cthulhu and Umi, but time constraints forced this to be scrapped. Sidequests for each optional dungeon were also planned, but again, time constraints meant that only the first one got a sidequest, and the rest were purely optional treasure hunts similar to those in [[Breath of Death VII]].
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The [[Goldfish Poop Gang]] fought as the first boss encounter are stated to have "likely respawned by now", and according to the Director Commentary, they were meant to be a recurring element, but the creators ended up completely forgetting about them. This was supposedly rectified for ''Cthulhu's Angels''.
** They show up one more time in the PC version, towards the very end, as [[Villain Forgot to Level Grind|strong as the first time]]. They only show up one time in ''Cthulhu's Angels''... {{spoiler|but the female of their number is the second Angel, recruited on the starting beach.}}
** You never find out exactly who cursed Cthulhu at the start of the game. The game makes a point about him being a mysterious man, then never bothers to tell you who he is.
*** ''Cthulhu's Angels'' resolves this mystery, although the differences between the campaigns allows for some doubt if it applies to the main campaign - {{spoiler|Dacre, the insane mage from the original, is responsible for Cthulhu's sealing. Presumably the deed drove him mad, leaving him the half-brained genius you find in the Water Temple.}}
* [[What Do You Mean
** They also regretted the thick mist over the cursed forest area; it caused technical problems (including making the game run slow, at least on Steam), and didn't add as much as they hoped to the aesthetic.
* [[Whip It Good]]: October.
