Line 5:
So you're minding your own business, mourning your for-some-reason-dead mother with your absurdly-dressed handmaid and your father the king when he gets murdered. You're blamed because your stepmom hates you, and you and your maid run off to a castle that your family owns which just so happens to be inhabited by the Fiend, a poorly-explained demon of some kind. The Fiend gives you the power to set traps and murder everyone that comes into your castle. Congratulations, you're playing ''Trapt''.

The production quality is...lacking, to say the least. Acting tends to fall flat, you'll be hearing the same generic slavering Japanese bad guy voice a lot, and the subtitles range from passable to blatantly incorrect. Slowdown is not uncommon, despite there not being too much going on at any given point. Still, the main appeal of the game is butchering people with clever traps, and that's as satisfying as ever.
Line 26:
* [[Electric Torture]]: Water conducts it very well! Even better, you can unlock a torture room with electric chairs you can slam people into.
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Each game lets you check out the statistics of invaders before you enter into combat with them.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: A very bad offender: every female character has one of these, and they all look awful.
* [[Hide Your Children]]: Unlike the previous games, there are no kids in Trapt.
Line 34:
* [[New Game+]]
* [[Non-Linear Sequel]]: In Japan, it was released as a sequel to ''Kagero'', but it's closer to being a loose remake of ''Deception: Invitation to Darkness.''
* [[Oddly
* [[Played for Laughs]]: Some of the traps cause comedic effects, such as a vase falling on someone's head, or a rotating floor that throws off their balance.
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Perhaps the ''third'' point of the series: Funny combos to maximize
* [[Repeat Cut]]: Brief instant replays of the moment a trap connects with an invader; they can be switched on or off.
* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: A common destructive trap.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Suicidal Overconfidence]]: Seriously, peasant? A club? You have reason to believe I'm the Devil Incarnate and you brought a club to my lair? Granted, a heavily damaged opponent will sometimes try to escape. There is nothing as disappointing as watching one of them leave.
** Leads to [[Badass Normal]] by the end because hey, even if their attacks are utterly ineffective and quite frankly pitiful you have to give at least ''some'' credit to the peasant woman who joined the penultimate battle squad composed otherwise of zombie-demon-knights and archmages.
