Line 6:
The game is considerably more casual when it comes to story than most mech games-your fellow Rumblers natter on about relationships, mech customization, and the genodical tendencies of the Tokyo Bay Area Ranker Tianhui. There is no world in need of saving (and judging by [[Scenery Gorn|the condition]] of Old Tokyo, it's a little late for that), no epic tales to be told, just a bunch of teenagers and the occasional twentysomething (and Siba, who is forty) living their lives and going out for an evening of blowing each other up in giant fighty robots.

=== ''Phantom Crash'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Attack Drone]]: The Dusters. Inoffensive little bots with a machine gun and a weak Optical Camouflage generator, good for a small sum of Crypto Credits-or just to get them out of your hair, as they can be dangerous if ignored. Randomly selected when renting a SCUBI.
Line 24:
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: See [[Dual-Wielding]].
* [[Infinity+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Mech]]: Beat the First Ranker, and you'll get her mech.
* [[A Mech Byby Any Other Name]]: SCUBIs, aka ScooBees.
* [[Mini-Mecha]]: SCUBIs are slightly larger than a car.
* [[Power Equals Rarity]]: Not necessarily, but the better weapons are less common than the average ones, and it's difficult to get the unique weapons for each mech without buying an entire mech to get them.
Line 34:
* [[Short-Range Shotgun]]: The shotguns, unfortunately. Light/Heavy Customization can alleviate or worsen this.
* [[Sniper Pistol]]: Most weapons have ridiculous range. The only sniper rifle in the game-that of the Proton-makes up for this by being ridiculously deadly.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Among the music you can purchase to listen to during fights, there are a great many songs that are oddly calming, including several tracks by the Kuricorder Quartet. Yes, the Kuricorder Quartet responsible for [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'s soundtrack.
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: Spread across the <s> mechs</s> ScooBees. All of them have a pistol, an assault rifle/machine gun, a shotgun, and a grenade launcher, but the Holy has the [[Gatling Good|chaingun]], the Aeron has the [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]], and the Photon has the Power Fist (though the Aeron's Hammer Fist is closer to the Power Fist, as it's the best melee weapon in the game), the Knife (subverted; it's a pretty decent weapon) and the Sniper Rifle.
* [[Sword and Gun]]: One of the possible builds for a Proton, and a fairly decent one.
