** Made even weirder by how the same mooks (as well as their miniboss and boss varieties) combine being shirtless with wearing full face-covering metal helmets, implying that they do care about protection somewhat. This is in spite of such helmets essentially restricting one's field of view to its tiny eyeholes, and thus being far more uncomfortable to wear than body armour, let alone a simple fur coat, would. In RealLife, fully enclosed helmets were only worn if the rest of the body was already completely encased in armour (be it knights, samurai or [[PersiansWithPistols Parthians]]), while lighter armored folk stuck with helmets that protected only the skull and at most nose and back of the head as well, precisely because a better protected face wasn't worth taking a massive hit to visibility and becoming much easier to flank. However, the game designers only cared about not having to render and animate the enemies' faces.

* AnAxeToGrind: The first boss fights with a giant two-headed axe.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cutscenes use the tried-and-true combination of black, white, and blood.
* ExposedToTheElements: The game takes place during winter. Crom is obviously shirtless to show off how badass he is. Curiously, the barbarian mooks he fights often wear thick fur cloaks...yet are still completely shirtless, and most of them do not even use shields to compensate for being completely unprotected. Presumably, this was to make it easier for the game to show off all the {{Gorn}}, common sense be damned.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: The plot is this trope, in a nutshell.
to:
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Cutting enemies in half at the torso is a favorite finishing move of Crom, second only to decapitating them.
* HighPressureBlood: Played straight, as part of the premise.
* HornyVikings: While the protagonist is a Celt, rather than a Viking, he still wears a whole deer's skull for a helmet, complete with a large set of horns. Luckily for him, no enemy ever tries grabbing those.
* The first miniboss enemy also wears a very similar helmet.
* OffWithHisHead: Frequently done both during the cutscenes and the actual game.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: The plot is this trope, in anutshell.nutshell.
* ShockwaveBoss: Done by the first boss when he slams his axe into the ground.
* SlashedThroat: The game opens with Crom slashing the throat of a deer he hunted down.
* SwordLines: Present and accounted for, on swords, claws, axes, etc.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: How you dodge attacks. You can combine this with slow-motion as well!
* WolverineClaws: The second enemy type wields really long claws like this, with two of them strapped to each arm.w
* YouAllLookFamiliar: There is only one enemy model for each type. In the opening, Crom is beset by several sword-wielding barbarian mooks that are completely identical. After he deals with them, and a miniboss, he is attacked by a group of similar barbarians that all wear WolverineClaws instead and also look identical to each other.
