** The game was originally meant to have [[CoopMultiplayer four player co-op,]] with each player controlling a different Horseman. Apparently this was a far grander vision then they were capable of executing. There was also going to be a character called TheHunter: the gun-toting [[LastOfHisKind last survivor of mankind,]] understandably quite pissed at War and serving as a [[BossFight boss.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: Notably...
** LiamOBrien: [[strike:[=GARcher=]]] [[FateStayNight Archer]] fans rejoice, the Holy Grail has [[spoiler:a great severance package, since dying]] apparently landed him a job as one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, specifically War.
*** A particularly amusing instance of this came about because of the frequency of ads for this game on the SciFiChannel... including during ''{{Anime/Monster}}'', where Liam O'Brien also plays the main character, with a nearly identical voice but very different demeanor and tone, no doubt leaving many inattentive viewers looking up to see what the [[IncrediblyLamePun hell]] Tenma was talking about.
*** It's possible that more gamers will recognize that [[WorldOfWarcraft Illidan Stormrage]] now has a job as the Horseman of War.
*** He is also fellow vengeful deity [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Asura]].
** MarkHamill voices The Watcher, using his [[BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Joker]] voice. You almost expect him to break out the EvilLaugh after certain lines.
*** He seemed to take particular interest in, and puts unusual emphasis on, a line where The Watcher tells War to kill a bat.
** PhilLaMarr (nearly unrecognizably) voices the demon merchant Vulgrim.
** It's [[AwesomeMcCoolName Moon Bloodgood]] as Uriel, [[{{Terminator}} remember]] [[{{Journeyman}} her]]?
