!!Tropes found in the game:
* ChainedHeat: The protagonist is forced into {{Synchronization}} with a stereotypically villainous BlackKnight by a demon, and they work together with the shared goal of not only separating themselves from their rather disliked counterparts, but to get back at the demon who did it to them.
* CrutchCharacter: The Death Knight wears his own armor and thus is powerful in the beginning, but has to be safeguarded from harm as the game progresses if you want to keep him around because of his hilarious remarks and the fact that he's soul-forged with the protagonist, so if either dies, it's Game Over.
* DuelingPlayerCharacters: [[spoiler:After the final boss fight, the Death Knight turns out to be Damien himself and fights you to the death.]]
* SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: [[spoiler:If the Death Knight has got all of your good stuff when he turns on you, he can be nearly impossible to beat.
