* LampshadeHanging: Used as part of the game's humor.

* OnlySaneMan: Francis compared to his companions.

* RandomEncounters

* SchoolgirlLesbians: This is spoofed as most girls in Neo Sushi are this or they go out with different creatures instead of male humans.

* StandardStatusEffects: Burnt, Bleeding, and Curse are a few of the classic ones. Hate (Enemies go for those who caused the most damage and are agitated when the attacker heals) and Stagger (The victim is knocked back a few pegs in terms of speed/turns, which it's possible for others to go before him) are the ones that are unique.

Doom and Destiny is an indie game developed by HeartBit Interactive released on the Xbox 360 on August 25, 2011. This game tells the tale of four friends (Nigel, Johnny, Mike, and Francis) on their way to see Benjamin, their gamemaster, for a role-playing session at his house. When they realized that he's not here, they search around his house and come upon his cellar. When they find a book entitled "Doom and Destiny", they try to start the game to prepare for his arrival. When they find out that the next room they enter is a burning dungeon, they see that there is more to the role-playing game than meets the eye. Eventually, it leads the boys into another world, where they are proclaimed to be "legendary heroes" to stop a villain whose name cannot be said. If they ever hope to return home and find their gamemaster, they must defeat the evil villain of the story, along with performing other heroic duties. HilarityEnsues as they encounter many different characters and [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].

* ILikeThoseOdds: On their way to Elven Town, the heroes are chased in the dead of night by an villain shrouded in darkness and his army of mooks. Johnny and Nigel believed they can take them head on, but Francis objects since they (the heroes) are obviously outnumbered and their leader is a hint of DangerouslyGenreSavvy in a way.

* RedHeadedHero: Mike.

* BonusBoss: Many, including [[spoiler:a rematch with [[BadSanta the Red Ninja]], Two [[TheLordOfTheRings Balors]], [[TheSpoonyExperiment Doctor Insano]], and the Flying Spaghetti Monster]].

* FourManBand: Francis, Johnny, Nigel, and Mike.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the gang teleports into the land, they stop by two people playing D & D. [[spoiler: That is actually ''very'' crucial to the plot. See below.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Judas has betrayed the four heroes mid-quest. When the four have cornered him at a cliff, he acidentally says TheScottishTrope and dodges the lightning, only to fall down to his death in the process.]]

* TwistingTheWords: After being rescued, the princess claimed that the boys were negotiating with the enemy and believe that she and King Orcus are in love with each other. However, King Orcus said she does not want to do anything with her and Francis wanted to resolve things without instantly rushing into battle.

* [[spoiler: PlayingChessWithDeath: The gang finds that Lord Destiny is playing D & D with Death for all these years and because she's so preoccupied in playing the game, Lord Destiny has become immortal. She doesn't realize she's been suckered in until the guys tell her that since Lord Destiny is the Game Master, she ''can't'' win against him.]]

* MegatonPunch: The boys were given one by a girl when they arrive at Neo Sushi through a spa after escaping from the air ship.

* DudeNotFunny: One of the [[BonusDungeon bonus dungeons]] in the game has the heroes fighting against enemies named after [[ThemeNaming astrological signs]]. In one of the floors, there will be nothing but [[spoiler: a tombstone that reads "Here lies Cancer, died of...cancer."]] The guys were not amused.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mike

* TemptingFate: The leader in Elven Town does this three times in a row regarding her fortress' defense, the amount of time left to get the [[Macguffin powerful rings]], and the raiding done by the Unnamed's [[TheDragon dragon]]. Three guesses what happened each time.
