''[[Warp Force (Video Game)|Warp Force]]'', being made by [[Artix Entertainment (Creator)|Artix Entertainment]], has many, many [[Shout -Out|Shout-Outs]] to other works, although unlike the others (well, maybe apart from ''[[Mechquest (Video Game)|Mechquest]]''), most of its references tend to be [[Science Fiction]] related.
----
=== This game provides the following [[Shout -Out|Shout-Outs]]: ===
* In one WarpGuardian quest, the player travels [[Star Wars|through the desert planet Hennaooine to find the last Star Knight, Ken Benobi]]. You don't find him, but you do find Opie-Juan, third-to-last Star Knight (who goes on to be a recurring character).
** Speaking of ''[[Star Wars]]'', Hans Olo from ''[[Adventure Quest (Video Game)|Adventure Quest]]'' also appears in the game.
** Arty Dedeux, a genius [[Bounty Hunter]], appears in two quests. In addition to his name, he also has an armor very similar to [[Star Wars|R2-D2]]. When first introduced, he speaks in a few BEEP BOOPs, but quickly stops.
** The name of the robot F10A7 is a reference to R2-D2.
* During a quest, the WarpForce recieve an SOS from the "[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]", which is initially believed to be ship, but later revealed to be an actual star. Near the star system is a mining corporation where dwarves are employed as slaves, some of which presumably sent the SOS. However, some slave-dwarves are [[Happiness in Slavery|loyal to their captor]], one of which (called Lister) attacks you.
* In the "Time Anomaly" quest, there is [[Buck Rogers (Comic Strip)|Bork Dodgers]].
{{quote| '''Player:''' So just where do YOU come from that all you need is a fuel-propelled rocket to travel?<br />
'''Bork Dodgers:''' I come from a world called Earth. It was the year 1952... or was it 1983... Either way, it was a long time ago. So, I started on a journey around our solar system, but something malfunctioned. Things malfunctioned A LOT when I was at the controls. That's how I got my name. So this malfunction, it propelled my ship into a much wider orbit. It took me so long to get back to Earth-- that when I finally got back, hundreds of years had passed! Needless to say, I was disappointed to learn that I could no longer wear bellbottoms and get away with the look. Before long, though, my expertise got me a job with the Intergalactic Council, and I was sent on a mission to protect Earth from a variety of humanoid mustache-and-goatee sporting aliens. My favorite nemesis was a beautiful alien princess named Nutella, though. Her eyes were hazel, but she was totally nuts. Evil alien princesses... stay away from them! }}
* Sgt. Lucky describes a scene similar to ''[[Alien (Filmfranchise)|Alien]]'' which causes the player to believe that [[Chest Burster|Chest Bursters]] have laid eggs down his throat. {{spoiler|It is later revealed to just be gas.}}
* When the Hand of Creation intiates a quiz to confirm your identity, it asks the question "''Who actually gave you the Hand of Creation for safekeeping?''". One of the possible answers you can say is "[[Sesame Street (TV)|Cookie Monster]]". It's wrong, of course.
* The description for the WarShovel weapon is "In the grim future of the Shovel there is only War!", referencing ''[[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Warhammer 40,000]]'''s [[Tagline]] "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war".
* The [[Loading Screen]] for the Sick Bay has the caption "[[Gosh Dang It to Heck|Darn it]], I'm a doctor, not a magical creature with huge ears!", referencing a ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] "Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...".
* In the "Gravity Anomaly" quest, Arty Dedeux, in addition to his ''[[Star Wars]]''-related name, references the [[Silver Surfer]], the herald of Galactus who rides a surfboard through the cosmos. See the page quote.
* One of the quests involves a mysterious artifact called the "[[Stargate SG-1|FarGate]]", a device which is revealed to be one of many which contain portals to other gates far away.
* The name of the quest "FINception!", which involves a Dream Machine that takes things from people's subconcious while they're dreaming and makes it real, is a reference to the film ''[[Inception (Film)|Inception]]''. Aside from the dream theme, the quest has little to do with the actual film however.
* Dr. Rem's worst nightmare in "FINception!" is a crow called [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street (Film)|Freddy Crowger]]. He appears after Dr. Rem goes to sleep, and introduces himself with "One, two... Freddy's coming for you...".
