Line 6:
The game has 5 playable characters, originally [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|only referred by their character class]], but later given official names in one of [[All There in the Manual|Capcom's artbook compilations]].
 
* '''Derek''', the [[Barbarian Hero|Fighter]]: Aa 26 years old swordsman, wielding an assortment of sword (including a broadsword and scimitar). He's a [[Jack of All Stats|well-rounded character]] in all stats save magic strength, which he sucks at, making him the ideal starting character.
* '''Regie''', the [[Squishy Wizard|Wizard]]: Aa 28 years old magician who fights by throwing magic blasts from his staff. He wields different types of staves, some of which grants him a two-hit ability. He's a [[Glass Cannon]], with rather low defense and speed, but compensates with great range and ([[Captain Obvious|obviously enough]]) magic strength. Rather than shields, he finds different amulets to boost his defense.
* '''Reval''', the [[Our Elves Are Different|Elf]]: Aa typical [[The Archer|elven archer]]. He's the [[Fragile Speedster]], having the highest speed stat but mediocre attack and lousy defense. His bows increase the speed he can fire his arrows.
* '''Aldo''', the [[The Medic|Cleric]]: Aa 34 years old [[Gentle Giant]] who prefers maces and the like over sharp weapons. He's the [[Mighty Glacier]], with great strength (both physical and magical) and the highest defense, but slow like a snail. He's also able to heal his allies alongside him after picking up a healing item.
* '''Vargas''', the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwarf]]: Thethe [[The Napoleon|very small]] [[An Axe to Grind|axe-wielding]] dwarf. He's the [[Lightning Bruiser]], with good speed and great defense stats, but has weak magic strength and lacks range. Though his small size works for him in avoiding certain attacks.
{{tropelist}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: As stated above, the characters' names.
Line 45:
* [[Giant Spider]]: Multiple ones, at the boss fight with the exact same name.
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]
* [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]]:
** [[Chest Monster]]: Teethed chest monsters, at that.
* [[In the Hood]]: Regie and the thief [[Mooks]].
Line 64:
* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: [[The Goomba|Most common mook enemy]]. There's also the first boss, the Ork King.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Two [[Mook]] varieties: those wielding [[Automatic Crossbow|Automatic Crossbows]] and those wielding [[Blade on a Stick|spears]].
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Princess Mari led the knight force against Gildiss... too bad she [[Save the Princess|creates more problems that way]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Great Dragonian's design bears a close resemblance to the ''Dragon Knight'' bosses in Capcom's older [[Beat'Em Up]] ''Black Tiger''.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: The focus on stages 8/9 (Malus Castle), 11 (a fort) and 12/13 (Castle Garenos).
