History VideoGame / ACTION52OWNS

* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: Non-Human lets you know that you are at the final level when the classic music begins to play, and you start to see that familiar face...

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: In Silver Sword, each enemy is weak to either fire, silver or ice. Hitting them with their weakness deals 10 damage. Hitting them with the incorrect attack deals [[ScratchDamage 1 damage]]. The main challenge comes when you have to adjust your distance from them in order to hit them with the correct element.

* GlassCannon: The Spiderbot in Non-Human. It has low health, but it's very fast and hurts a lot especially at close range.

** In Non-Human, the {{Degraded Boss}}es act as these. They only appear in the hard mode, however.

* OneWingedAngel: The BigBad of Non-Human turns into a giant caterpillar-thing after being defeated in Hard Mode.

* GlassCannon: The Spiderbot in Non-Human. It has low health, but it's very fast, hurts a lot, and as it kills with its sword, its attack strength increases!

* TrickBoss: The first few bosses of Non-Human start out as a regular zombie Mook... then when you kill them, they transform into a grotesque creature.

* MoreDakka: Your main weapon in Non-Human can be upgraded to become this. Be careful of cooldown, however.

* BodyHorror: The zombies in Non-Human's hard mode will transform into even more grotesque creatures (and sometimes, multiple) if you take too long to kill them. The FinalBoss also transforms from a green human into a caterpiller-like thing in the hard mode.

* MakeMyMonsterGriw: Dr Murdon does this to some of the regular zombies, turning them into bosses.

* EasyModeMockery: Non-Human has an easy mode, where the game is 2/3rds shorter, has no final boss, nor has an ending.

[[NeedsMoreLove A work in progress here.]]

* BraggingRightsReward: Streamers has the money bags, which Mission Control explicitly tells you that it's for points. Lampshaded further that he tries to convince you to not attempt for a harder to grab bag if you get close enough.
* [[BreakoutCharacter Breakout Game]]: A flash version of Streamers was posted on Kongregate.com. It got so popular, it got an NES version (which can be emulated, of course), and it has additional content as well.

* CallBack: Some games will reference it's source material. Non-Human and Streamers, for example, plays the same game music from the original in the title screen.

** Games like Streamers and Alfredo does play this straight. Anytime you die, you simply respawn to the last check point (though the latter does force you to start a boss fight over).

** Streamers has [[spoiler: [[CaptainErsatz A very super man named Joe]] who did manage to destroy an enemy base, with his base having been destroyed as well. He then plans to form the [[{{Homage}} FSA]] in memory of his superior officers.]]

** Streamers seem to look and play similar to VideoGame/BionicCommando for the NES. It even heavily implies to be a prequel, just for good measure. It's funny too, considering Silent Rob (during his review of Action52) made the comparison of the original Streamers to VideoGame/BionicCommando back in 2006.

** Streamerz seem to really pay a lot of this to VideoGame/BionicCommando, to the point of heavily implying itself to be a prequel.

** A couple of games play just like NES games, like Meong and Streamerz. Streamerz even got an NES port.

* MissionControl: Streamerz has the Streamerz commander.
** Star Evil has Commander Commodore being moral support to Carmilla.

* UpdatedRerelease: Flash and NES versions of Streamerz included additional content, being that you can play Streamerz mode, which gives you control of [[VillainProtagonist Dr. Tary, who can alter his own gravity]], a [[BrutalBonusLevel Superb mode]], remixed versions of the original and Cheetahmen themes, and cheats. The flash version also features online leaderboards.
** Non-Human went from being a basic remake to being it's own game, because the developer was "too creative" with it. That's what you get when you're involved with [[VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden Tales of Games]]. You can find this version in the Tales of Games Vidcon pack.

** NonHuman's theme starts playing as the BGM in the final area. You even go through a similar section like in the NES game, with roughly similar enemy positions, as well as the large green heads in the bottomless pit.
