!!When you trope, [[BigBad he]] sees it:
* AllThereInTheManual: Copies of the game include a short story written by the game's artist Mariusz Pawluk, which is what this game started out its development as.
* BagOfSpilling: Whenever the player character(s) have to wade through a river or a swamp, they revert to their default weapons regardless of what they have used prior to that. World Software didn't intend this design choice, see the Trivia page.
* BarbarianHero: Doman, [[CaptainErsatz being essentially World Software's variant]] of [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian everybody's favourite Cimmerian]]. Baurus meanwhile has more of a Nordic flair with his blonde hair and beard, being only an absent helmet away from being a [[HornyVikings Horny Viking]].
* TheBrute: Ardan's leautanants - Slavo, [[TheExecutioner Hector]] and Sandius - tower over Doman and Baurus in size.
* TheCameo: During the third cutscene set on Ardan's court, [[spoiler: [[VideoGames/FrankoTheCrazyRevenge Franko of all people]] shows up, with a randomly selected line. [[MediumAwareness He tends to be aware of how out of place he is.]]]]
* CopyProtection: Some of the [=NPCs=] encountered would ask you for runic symbols from specific pages of the short story that was included with the copies of the game.
* DarkerAndEdgier: This game goes for far more serious tone, ups the ante with the gore and has fewer (intentional) comedic moments compared to ''Franko''.
* DefendCommand: The player can block attacks by holding the fire button with no directional input. He still suffers a bit of chip damage while blocking, so it isn't viable to rely on it too much and asking for health refill from [=NPCs=] is unavoidable.
** The same command also allows you to evade arrow attacks, which doesn't come with health penalty.
* EverythingFades: After ''Franko'' that managed to avert it, this game plays it straight. This is due to the developers preference to have a more convincing display of corpses (as in they would have had obscured the feet of characters that are in back of them) rather than going for the "paint onto the background" approach.
* {{Gorn}}: The game does not shy away from it, with [[OffWithHisHead decapitations]] being a rather common way to die, and [[SceneryGorn the backgrounds have penchant to contain]] corpses of the unfortunate victims of Ardan's regime that suffered particularly cruel methods of execution.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Helmets are primarirly worn by Ardan's low-to-mid ranking mooks. Even among Ardan's highest-ranking henchmen the only one to ever wear anything that covers most of the head is [[TheExecutioner Hector]].
* {{Hitscan}}: Incredribly, this game made ''bows and crossbows'' into this. There are no projectiles displayed as flying, the bow shots may as well be infinite range melee attacks.
* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: The Valley of the Hanged is [[MakeAnExampleOfThem rather aptly named]].
** The text prior to the scene inside Ardan's castle names the aformentioned place as "Satan's Claw".
* InTheHood: Some of the enemies Doman and/or Baurus encounter robed figures with faces completely obscured in shadow except for their GlowingEyesOfDoom. They tend to be [[BossInMooksClothing the deadliest foes that aren't]] [[MiniBoss Ardan's leutanants]].
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Finishing the game provides you the [[spoiler: Kalasznikov]] cheat code, which replaces the crossbow with [[AnachronismStew a much faster firing modern rifle]].
* InterfaceScrew: An unintentional example, but the enemy life bars do not update whenever you are doing grab attacks on them, at first making it look like the moves don't do that much damage until you'd hit the enemy.
* InvulnerableAttack: Your jump attack - done with the fire button while holding up - has i-frames and knocks enemies down on hit. It does not do a lot of damage however, and it can't be performed when wading through water.
* ItsAWonderfulFailure: When you chose to not continue - either that or run out of credits - the game treats to the scene with Ardan in his court getting delighted at Doman's death before getting back to the main menu.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Pawluk retained his philosophy for stages being large images like in ''Franko'' rather than being made with tiles, so this trope is still as present.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Every now and then the backgrounds depict corpses and remains of those that died trying to take down Ardan before. The aptly named Valley Of The Hanged level stands out in that regard.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Doman and Baurus respectively start with a sword and axe, and can also make use of [[BladeOnAStick Spears, Halberds]], [[CarryABigStick Maces]], [[EpicFlail Flails]] and even crossbows. The melee weapons primarily differ in special attacks done by holding fire with backwards direction.
* NintendoHard: You may start with seven lives, have few continues and it doesn't have the absence of MercyInvincibility from [[VideoGame/FrankoTheCrazyRevenge the developers' previous game]], but the world of Doman is still full of enemies that hit like a truck (and in few instances [[OneHitKill moreso]]) and even brings in few ranged enemies into the mix.
* OffWithHisHead: Right from it's intro cinematic, this game absolutely ''loves'' this trope. Few of your attacks can do this to your opponents on a lethal hit, and they are just as eager to do it on you.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: For most of the game Ardan sits on his throne and prefers to sic mercenaries and his favourite guardians on the protagonist and gets frustrated with the news that Doman/Baurus prove to be hard to be taken down. [[spoiler:By the time Doman battles through the penultimate stage Ardan gets his ass off and [[RapePillageAndBurn pillages a nearby village]] to set up an ambush from there.]]
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Ardan seemingly employs a handful of Orcs to his army. They tend to carry [[TwoByFore wooden sticks]] and typically attack by twirling them.
* PressXToNotDie: [[spoiler: In between some of the levels, Ardan would send an assassin to [[SlainInTheirSleep murder the player character in his sleep]]. The player would have to waggle the joystick far enough to wake up and fend off the assailant.]]
* ProtagonistTitle: With the subtitle bringing up [[AntagonistTitle the sins of the antagonist]].
* RecurringBoss: Ardan's lieutenants - [[TheExecutioner Hector]], Slavo and Sandius - attack the player plenty of times throrough the campaign as [[VillainExitStageLeft they flee whenever defeated]]. [[spoiler: It's not until the penultimate level when Doman gets to slay Slavo for good, with the rest going down that way by the final level]].
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: You do slay Ardan alright, but then [[DirtyCoward his brother Gothar]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flees]] and [[CycleOfRevenge promises revenge]].]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Gothar''': There will be time when you will pay for the death of my brother, you dog!!!]]
--> '''Doman''': [[spoiler: Gothar!!! Even though you have managed to escape, I promise that you will pay for all your sins!!!]]
* SlainInTheirSleep: [[spoiler: At one point Ardan sics an Assassin on Doman to make an attempt on the latter's life during his sleep. This results in UnexpectedGameplayChange where the player [[PressXToNotDie has to waggle the joystick]] to wake up in time before the assassin would cost him a life stock, if not entire credit.]]
* [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown Stab Them While They Are Down]]: You can do this to enemies provided you position correctly. It isn't as fast of a killer as ''Franko's'' similar move however.
* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity: Encounters with friendly [=NPCs=] - that give you either a weapon of choice or healing - tend to be immediately followed up with a fight.
* TakeThat: Mariusz Pawluk demonstrates his loyalty to the Amiga platform by dreaming about "[[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] class solutions vanishing from out little nice planet" as well as through the extra life cheat code: SRAMNAPC.[[labelnote:Translation]]ISHITONPC[[/labelnote]]
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The second friendly NPC encountered in the first level states this about Ardan:
--> ''I don't believe it you've made it man, but I'll give you my weapon.''
--> ''I'll wish you luck, as nobody here likes that vile tyrant.''
------
--> ''And then the shriek of your enemies will be heard... from hell!''
