Line 7:
* [[Action Girl]]: Nadia
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Everything concealing the game's history, the creatures created by Crowley and what happened after.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The only weapon Herbert need is a standard woodcutter's axe he'll use to butcher and execute any monster in his way.
*[[Ax Crazy]]: The ''protagonist'' of the sequel, Herbert Wallace. Subverted in that he's surprisingly lucid, well-spoken and, above all, good.
*
*
*
* [[Deadly Lunge]]: While not exactly slow to begin with, a lot of enemies do this.▼
*[[Deadly Gas]]: The first boss in the second game attacks by breathing venomous gas at the player.
** Also the Mutated Mice and the Giant Bugs, which are weak but can knock you down with fast, powerful attacks.▼
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Nadia's 360 gun attack.▼
▲**
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: All the bosses except the last one. Seriously, will you expect to face a fire-breathing multi-headed serpent near a sewer, or a Yeti in a church, or [[Jack the Ripper]] in a storehouse?▼
*[[Eldritch Abomination]]: The second games, at one point, features the humongous tentacles of an unseen horror chasing after Herbert and forcing him to seek refuge inside a museum.The [[Final Boss|final boss]] is a colossal, green mass of flesh, tendrils and fanged maws taking part most of the tip of the Eiffel Tower.
* [[Giant Spider]]: Despite looking more reptilian than insectoid...▼
* [[Heart Container]]: A literal heart. No, not a pink, heart-shaped talisman but a pulsing red organ with white stripes and blue veins protuding from it.▼
▲*
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Nadia uses a thin sword, which can be upgraded to a spiked blade, then to a falchion and then to a broadsword.▼
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: The hero of the sequel was a former victim of Crowley, and now looks for him in order to kill him again.▼
▲*
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: The Great Fire of London is blamed on attempts to destroy the cult. Later, The Great Fire of 1834 is caused by [[Big Bad|Adam Crowley]].▼
▲*
* [[Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence]]: Averted, you can smash said Waist Height Fences, but the other walls are really tall.▼
▲*
* [[Jack the Ripper]]: A.K.A. Jose Manuel, described as a [[Knife Nut]] psycho who slaughtered many people. And Crowley has infected him with a strange serum, turning him into a monster.▼
▲*
*[[Improbable Weapon User|Improbable Weapon User:]] The penultimate boss of the second game tries to smash Herbert to bits wielding an overly-long metal cross in the first phase of the boss battle.
▲*
▲*
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: The Torch item. It won't work on Hell Hounds.
*
*
*
*
*
*[[Noodle People]]: Most of the monsters in the second game have an extremely thin, gangly design, with very long and wiry limbs paired with emaciated bodies.
*
*
*
*
*[[Puzzle Boss]]: All of them. The second game has a more mundane approach.
*
*
* [[Simple Staff]]: Ignatius start with this one.▼
*[[Slasher Smile]]: Most of the creatures in the second game showcase creepy, rotten smiles of sharp teeth at the player.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Your characters can't swim. Neither the monsters. Since the waters are infested by large tentacled monsters with huge jaws, it seems justified...▼
▲*
*[[Sword and Gun]]: In both games, you're armed with a melee weapon but can also use firearms (Flintlock pistols in the first game, a shotgun in the second) as "items" to kill/wound monsters.
*[[The Unfought|The Unfought:]] Despite being a hunt for Crowley, the second game doesn't feature him at all, instead pitting Herbert against his army of monsters, undeads and demons.
