* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: Another open-ended post-apocalyptic adventure game? Yawn. Wait a minute - created and designed by [[Battle Chasers|Joe]] [[X -Men|Madureira]] with a script co-written by [[Deadpool|Joe Kelly]]? You play as the freaking ''Horseman of War''? This might be good after all.
** And now, a sequel has been announced.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: Any time you encounter Wicked K. A zombie in a [[Cool Hat|top hat]], who fights with a cane and speaks with the stereotypical high-class British gentleman accent and mannerisms. Appears with no explanation, and disappears after you defeat him each time.
** [[Word of God|Vigil Games]] has said that Wicked K is an inside joke, meant to represent a few British employees at the studio.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: The game has already developed the derisive moniker of "[[Darker and Edgier|Grimdark]] ''Zelda''". Or, more specifically, this game is what happens when the [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Chaos Marines]] decide to "cleanse" [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Hyrule]], and they sent [[God of War (Video Gameseries)|Kratos]] in to soften it up.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The brass swells to herald {{spoiler|1=the arrival of the other 3 horsemen. Found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[M 6 Y Hcf 884 Dg]]}}
* [[Game Breaker]]: See the "and your reward is" entry above. Though the Abyssal Armor does take some searching, and you can't get all the pieces until almost the end of the game, it does at that point ''drastically'' reduce damage taken, boost damage dealt, and give you a few other perks that make even Apocalyptic difficulty considerably less taxing. And then there's the fact that [[New Game+|you can start with it in a new game once you've unlocked it]], which would truly make it a [[Game Breaker]].
Line 14:
** And {{spoiler|Samael manipulates War into restoring Samael's power (which is sealed in The Chosen's hearts). He's even magnificent enough to honor his deal with War despite claiming that he could easily kill the Horseman.}}
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: In the Black Throne, whenever you're around Azrael, he seems to love to repeat himself over and over again. If you take a few steps away from him and step near him, he will repeat what he just said.
{{quote| "The beams... redirect the beams... the beams... redirect the beams..." "One last beam, and I will be free. One last beam, and I will be free."}}
** Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but there's some platforming that has to happen around him. Inch away even just a bit while you're climbing and he'll repeat himself.
* [[Squick]]: The Ashlands are a huge desert made entirely out of the ''ashes of humanity''.
Line 20:
** That ''fucking'' pit in the Ashlands where you have to scramble from board to board to avoid a very pissed off Abyssal Worm.
** The Black Tower.
* [[True Neutral]]: The Horsemen serve the Charred Council, to which they enforce and maintain balance between good and evil; order and chaos mean next to nothing, except in terms of the balance.
