Silent Bomber is available through the Playstation Network in some regions, but can be tricky to find otherwise.
{{tropelist}}
----
=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Although the waste ducts Jutah uses to reach the prison sector ''are'' part of the Dante, so this is probably [[Justified Trope|justifiable]].
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Micino. Forgoing any attempt at stopping the Dante with her seductive wiles, she instead orders Jutah to destroy the oxygen production plants inside the Dante's civilian sectors to provide her with enough chaos to escape {{spoiler|in exchange for information as to Annri's whereabouts.}}
* [[Double Jump]]: Jutah has an Air Dash at his disposal as well as a [[Wall Jump]], with the former being absolutely crucial for escaping not only the attacks of his enemies, but his own too.
* [[Dual -Wielding]] and [[Guns Akimbo]] - Jutah has an E-Unit mounted on each arm, while Benoit makes do with one. It's not clear how much of an advantage Jutah's configuration gives him, though [[Rule of Cool|it does have one obvious perk.]]
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: No, Jutah is ''not'' [[Judi Dench]]. Shut up.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Jutah. Nothing really shakes him, and it is both [[Narm]] and [[Badass]] at once.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[He's Back]]: {{spoiler|Jutah after the credits. Aw.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Jutah sans the prologue on Tarakhan. Notable in that he never got reset, and stays on the far side of the [[Despair Event Horizon]] throughout the game.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: So wait a second, [[Cowboy Bebop|Vicious]] is battling against {{spoiler|[[Trigun|Legato Bluesummers]]!?}} While being ordered around by [[Ghost in The Shell|Kusanagi]] and hit on by [[Lucky Star|Inori]]?! And hang on, isn't that Navajo/Space Marine over there [[Kingdom Hearts|Saix]]?!
* [[In Medias Res]]: After a brief prologue that explains almost nothing, the game starts off minutes before the party reaches the Dante. The subject of the team's nature as a penal squad is only detailed in the manual, the reasons for the attack are given next to no lip service, and Jutah is the sole recipient of some meagre backstory.
* [[Just a Kid]]: Averted by Tim. Despite being a pre-teen his skills are respected and made the most of by his comrades. John is quick to chastise him when he start blubbering with fear however.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Quite a difficult game on its own right, but merciless in ranking high on the levels.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: {{spoiler|Benoit is probably one of the most transparently untrustworthy characters imaginable. His first line of dialogue is overtly sinister and clues in any viewer still awake to his malignant intentions.}}.
* [[One -Man Army]]: Jutah. Has he been ordered to destroy your army, your ship and your [[Humongous Mecha]] with you still driving it? You probably already have a bomb stuck to your face.
* [[Powered Armor]]: The Hard Shells and Blue Mist units both incorporate top-of-the-line power armor and field [[Humongous Mecha]] for their commanding officers.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Arguably subverted. Jutah never has an epiphany regarding his own self worth no matter how much his comrades reach out to him, and the reason that he adamantly refuses to die and kicks the villain's arse is the fact that he's just that badass.
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Micino's costumes leaves nothing to the imagination, but seeing as she fancies herself as a vampish manipulator it's quite intentional on her part.
* [[Shout Out]]: Jutah's prisoner number, 655321, is directly taken from Alex [[De Large]]'s prison number in A Clockwork Orange.
* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: Subverted quite hard by Jutah. When Annri breaks down {{spoiler|after being captured and ostensibly failing the mission}}, it's Jutah who encourages her in an honest, considerate way, praising her for the humanity she still has when compared to him. Given that up until this point Jutah has given every appearance of a callous, solitary hard-case who regards all of his comrades as pointless dead weight, this is an important moment for both characters.
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]: The plot and voice acting are at times incredibly hammy, but this just makes the experience as a whole even more like a fun late-eighties anime pastiche. Arguably it wouldn't be as fun without these elements.
* [[Stealth Expert]]: {{spoiler|Benoit is implied to be one, as he managed to unleash the Bio-Weapon horde and murder the entire command deck apparently without being detected by any party until it was too late.}}
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: There's "Bomber" in the title for a reason.
Line 86 ⟶ 85:
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: As Jutah you find yourself staring down the barrels of a few of these. The real show stealer has to be the Dante's main cannon, which {{spoiler|obliterates Hornet's entire navy in one half-charged shot and then attempts to destroy the entire planet with the following salvo}}.
* [[We Can Rule Together|We Can Cause Chaos And Suffering For The Lulz Together]]
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Jutah
* [[X Meets Y]]: It's [[Devil May Cry]] meets [[Bomberman (Video Game)|Bomberman]]!
** As noticed by reviewers at the time, Bomberman meets Soukyugurentai (mostly due to the lock-on cone mechanic).
