El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alas, Poor Villain: While most of the watchers are relatively unsympathetic, you can help but feel pity for some of them when they die, Sariel and Armaros especially.
  • Non Sequitur Scene: Armaros' dance battle can come as a surprise if you don't know anything about his character before playing.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: You play an agent of God tasked with hunting down and sealing Fallen Angels on Earth, in Hell, and in another dimension to prevent the Great Flood. Now try to picture the soundtrack that would do justice to such premise.
  • 8.8: IGN gave a game 5 Out of 10. Most other sites were much more favorable. Cue the angry mobs.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Lucifel to a T. Of course, he's not evil yet, but...
    • Of course, it's arguable if he's really even evil or not, thanks to multiple interpretations.
  • Fanon: Of the Bible, apocrypha, and Jewish myth.
  • Ho Yay: Lucifel's intense interest in Enoch borders on romantic.
  • Memetic Mutation: Lucifel and Enoch's exchange during the opening of the game, as made popular by the commercials for the game.

Lucifel: You sure that's enough armor?
Enoch: No problem. Everything's fine. (Daijobu da, mondai nai)
