Edit Tip #12: \"We are not interested in whether or not something is or was popular. Whether or not it was liked has nothing to do with tropes.\"

You play as Rodan, the son of one of the strongest clan leaders, who just barely survived an ambush set by his rivals. Used as a scapegoat, he must venture forth in this hostile world, gathering the mysterious "keys" with the help of Holeman, his right-hand man and Helen, a shady woman working with the scientists studying the Portal. Along the way he fights several foes with the use of guns, swordmastery and paranormal powers.
General consensus is that the game is not excellent or innovative, but still good enough on his own.

'''This game contains examples of:'''
* ActionCommands: You can use them on certain mooks to bring them down, or on bosses to finish them off.
* ActionGirl: Helen can take care of herself.
* AfterTheEnd: Specifically, after a nuclear war between China and America, plus a gateway to an alien world.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: One good thing of this game: checkpoints are almost everywhere. For example, after completing a difficult platform puzzle across a chasm, the game will save, allowing you to skip the puzzle should you fail again. After reaching a checkpoint you can also load from any of them.
* TheAtoner: Possibly Helen and Girdon.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Worms: you have to smash their shells and then go for their soft, unprotected heads.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The Sentinel.
* AwesomeButImpractical: All the powers except for Void: they're useful, sure, but they consume all the energy in one go and it takes forever to recharge.
* {{Badass}}: Rodan.
** BadassBaritone: A very deep voice.
* BagOfSpilling: You play the prologue with all your equipment on, but you'll lose it all in the following first level.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: The game encourages you to face gun-toting enemies with firearms and melee enemies with your sword.
* {{BFG}}: Plasma, Destroyer and the [[spoiler: [[RayGun Device]]]].
* BigBad: Dr. Z. [[spoiler: Subverted when he's anticlimatically killed by Yavik and in the end there's no real BigBad at all.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Helen's in the prologue appears just in time on a motorbike to take down some swordsmen and save Rodan. Also counts as DynamicEntry.
* BlindSeer: The Oracles, two people who were exposed to the eldritch, space-twisting energies of the Portal and survived. They're blind, but they can see the future and knows everything. They also happen to be a young girl and an old man on a wheelchair.
* BlowYouAway: The shockwave released by the Void power, though it's described as a sort of anti-gravitational field.
* BodyHorror: The hybrids. ZombieGait, tentacles poking out of their torsoes, elongated bone maws and bloody skulls in the back of their heads.
* BottomlessMagazines: Hornet and Dragonfly are energy-based, so even if you run out of bullets, you can still use them (though you must pause once in a while to let it recharge the shots).
* CoolSword: Lone Wolf, Rodan's bionic sword. Thanks to its special proprieties, it can cover the following tropes:
** SerratedBladeOfPain: The basic form.
** QuickDraw: Is mentioned (and shown) that Rodan can draw the thing in his hand in less than a millisecond from its scabbard on his armlet.
** {{BFS}}: One combo turns it into a medieval-looking broadsword which deals massive damage via [[EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning spinning.]]
** DualWielding: The King of Swords combo allows you to detach a secondary blade and use it in battle.
** WhipSword: The Dragon Tail combo, one of the longest and best attacks.
* CloudCuckooLander: Gordin. Well, he's been living for God-knows-how in an abandoned lab with monsters and corpses...
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in the "Incererating Trap" in the Oracles' pocket dimension: you see a bright, orange light flowing around the black platforms and turning them orange. If you step on them, you'll fry to death in seconds.
* CreepyChild: One of the Oracles. She's not malevolent, and yet...
* DeadpanSnarker: Greenman.
* TheDragon: Yavik to Z.
* DirtyCoward: Greenman: Unlike Mark, he fights you with a shotgun and energy shield, has no qualms about calling again and again for backup and when defeated begs for mercy.
* DullSurprise: Rodan. [[spoiler: His reaction to being told that he's the final key necessary to shut the Portal and must sacrifice his life is awfully bland, like "uh, kay, sure..".]]
* EldritchLocation: The Portal.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: The Device, an alien RayGun which can hurt the Angel.]]
* EnemyCivilWar: Human enemies will engage combat with aliens if they see each other.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: There's a huge tower where the Portal is located. It must be accessed with the Keys, if you want to get there alive.
* FinalExamBoss: In order to fully defeat [[spoiler: The Dark Angel]], you have to remember and use correctly all your sword-morphing comboes on the [[spoiler: healing altars.]]
* FlunkyBoss: Greenman.
* GatlingGood: Guns like the Zveroboy and Thunder are among the most useful. Then there's the Destroyer (a minigun), which you find just in time in a room [[spoiler: with tons of monsters coming from holes in the ceiling and devices to destroy]].
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNoWhere: The Sentinel, The Worm (everytime), and [[spoiler: The Dark Angel, the FinalBoss]], who's only vaguely mentioned in Mark's Diary.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Holeman in the third act and [[spoiler: Helen]] in the fifth.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Yavik, after finding out that Rodan wants to close the Portal.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Rodan's sole reason to exist: he must gather the four keys to close the Portal and the shut it by sacrificing his life.]]
* HyperspaceArsenal: Averted: you can find several weapons, but during the gameplay you must stick to the sword, a light gun, a heavy gun and, occasionally, a rocket launcher/other encumbering situational weapon.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Holeman's fighting style involves telekinesis and an handful of steel marbles.
* {{Jerkass}}: Greenman.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Yavik killed Holeman, almost murdered Rodan and yet gets away scot free.]]
* KillItWithFire: The Sentinel. Bullets will only stun it, and the sword will annoy it at most, so you're forced to push her in a giant furnace at the end of the corridor.
* LudicrousGibs: Happens to Rodan if he dies by falling or by getting smashed by the Sentinel.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Sometimes, hybrids will let out a devastating scream that will damage anyone caught in the middle.
* MesaCrowd: The Phantom power allows you to create a clone of yourself. Mark can create up to three clones.
* TheMessiah: Mark believes to be one, a sort of holy crusader who'll unite the clans in the name of the Portal, making him more like a DarkMessiah.
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Dr Z and also Holeman. Both are {{LargeHam}}s.
* MomentKiller: [[spoiler: Just as Rodan and Helen are about to make up (or at least kiss), Dr Z calls her on the cell.]]
* MookChivalry: Oooh, averted so much: both swordsmen and aliens are veery vicious in that regard.
* MorphWeapon: Rodan's bionic sword Lone Wolf. It can turn (in a sort of realistic, mechanical way) in a double-edged broadsword, in two swords or in a whipblade.
* [[spoiler: OurAngelsAreDifferent: The one coming out of the portal is actually an alien, has huge black wings, a demonic, legless torso with fanged mouth and huge swords in lieu of hands. He can also shoot electrical bullets.]]
* PlatformHell: The Oracles' chamber and the Portal.
* PuzzleBoss: Most of the bosses will require lot of thinking and use of enviromental machines. Others tends to be much easier by comparison.
* RecurringBoss: The Worms and the Guardians.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Rodan's father was the one who stole the keys from Z to prevent him from messing up with the Portal's energies. Oh, and Rodan is the fifth key and must kill himself in order to seal the Portal.]]
* SandWorm: The Worms seems to be based on this, though they look more like caterpillars.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: [[GenreSavvy Rodan eventually forces Helen to leave Z's side before he realize that she's TheMole, and she obeys.]]
* ShockAndAwe: The Rapture power send a massive beam of electricity that can kill anything-but bosses.
* SpidersAreScary: Some of the aliens seems to invoke spiders: the lesser specimens are basically small, shelled arachnids with sharp legs and flesh webs/cocoons. Another more complete specimen looks like a humanoid but has very spider-like details, including arachnid face, SpiderLimbs on the back and crawling gait.
* SpyCatsuit: Helen wears a white one.
* SwordAndGun: Rodan, and also Mark (who carries a large longsword and a pistol).
* TimeStandsStill: Time Warp. You can use it to give you an advantage in battle or to solve certain puzzles.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Helen. You can also call her with the cellphone to get some information about the game. Jarringly, you can do this even while she's ''with you'', like, a foot away. You could just talk to her but nooo....
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Helen? Did you make it?]]
