Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anticlimax Boss: The Alpha Wolf. He's very strong and durable, but you face him in a one-on-one battle. Compare that to the previous level, in which you have to fight half a dozen wolves (in groups, if you're not extraordinarily careful), and a duel with even a tough opponent looks easy by comparison.
    • Especially since you have a sword (presumably taken from Hickory) at that point, which is, like, a three-hit-kill weapon, even on the apparently Made of Iron Alpha Wolf.
    • In fact, if you time it correctly, you can backflip behind him and one-hit-kill him with the sword.
  • Moment of Awesome: Killing your first wolf.
  • That One Level: Even the creator himself admits that the level where you fight the three wolves is way too hard.
    • The Empire expansion takes this even further. In the aforementioned level, you can at least fight each wolf individually. In Empire, you will have to fight, at two separate points in the game, two and then three wolves all at the same time. Empire in general is quite difficult, and the late-game boss enemies are typically equipped with swords and flanked by wolves. Ancestral Tales has a twist: almost the first mission forces you to take on somewhere around seven wolves, frequently in pairs, but the player character at that point is Claire, who is a fox (a reskinned and slightly-shrunk wolf), and therefore far faster, tougher, and stronger than a rabbit.
  • Uncanny Valley: Word of God states that one of the reasons the creators decided to make a 'ninja rabbit fighting' game is because they wanted to avoid this trope. Needless to say, they succeeded.
