Nippon Ichi/YMMV
- Nightmare Fuel: Quite a few things, many of which are probably compounded by the cute 2D-sprite graphics.
- Cliché Storm: In full force concerning Gust, IF, and Hitmaker games.
- Crosses the Line Twice: Every. Single. Game. Soul Nomad and the Disgaea series take the cake.
- Game Breaker: All their Turn Based Strategy games actively encourage munchkinism, intentionally letting you power up weapons and characters enough to One-Hit Kill anything in the game.
