* TopHeavyGuy: Many physically focused male characters, like Fighter and Dwarf, have tiny legs should not be able to hold up the massive top halfs of their bodies.

** One of the enemies is a beholder from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''

** The games Dungeon is based on artist PieterBruegelTheElder's ''Tower of Babel" paintings.

* HeyItsThatVoice: AtsukoTanaka as the Amazon, AsamiImai as the Elf, and the Sorceress is [[KikukoInoue seventeen years old]].

** One of the enemies/bosses is a beholder from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''

* TakeThat: When Kotaku's Jason Schreier [[http://kotaku.com/game-developers-really-need-to-stop-letting-teenage-boy-472724616 posted a scathing article denouncing the crazy proportions of the female characters]], George Kamitani [[http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ljynkh2o57fpng/original.png responded with this classy piece of artwork.]]

* RainOfArrows: One of the Elf's attacks looks like this.

* SceneryPorn: Oh come on, it's the same guys who gave us ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'' and ''MuramasaTheDemonBlade.'' This is basically a given.
* ShesGotLegs: The Amazon and the Sorceress.

** One of the enemies/bosses is a [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons beholder]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''[[VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons Arcade]]''.

* TokenWholesome: The Elf. Of the three female characters, she's the only one that's reasonably dressed for the task at hand and realistically-proportioned.
** Despite the above, the Elf still has [[HartmanHips hips and thighs that would make your jaw drop]]. For bonus points, it's combined with ZettaiRyouki.

* ShoutOut:

** The fairy NPC has the yellow hair and green dress of Tinkerbell from Disney's ''Disney/PeterPan''.

Lead designer George Kamitani came up with the idea for the game right after his work on ''PrincessCrown'' in 1997, on the SegaSaturn. It was planned as a {{spiritual successor}} to ''[[DungeonsAndDragonsShadowOverMystara Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom]]''. For better or worse Kamitani had difficulties getting a publisher to greenlight the project and it wasn't until finishing ''MuramasaTheDemonBlade'', when he reworked the project plan, that Ignition Entertainment agreed to sign on with the game.

* MagicCarpet: The heroes get to ride one.

* VideoGameLives

** The Nuker: The elemental spell casting Wizard

* AssKicksYou: One of the Sorceress's attacks looks like a teleportation attack that leads into this.

* BoomStick: Both the Wizard and Sorceress.

* MsFanservice: The Amazon and the Sorceress. Artists started [[RuleThirtyFour fawning over]] them as soon ''their models'' got revealed, years before the game was even released.

* PointyEars: The Elf, of course.

* SideCleavage: The Sorceress, of course.

* SquishyWizard: The Sorceress in more ways than one.
* SwordAndSorcery: Complete with shifty-looking thieves and merchants, skeleton warriors, a [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan]]-looking dude, etc.

* TopHeavyGuy: How the Fighter and especially the Dwarf's legs can hold up the top half of their bodies is nothing short of a miracle.
** [[http://i.imgur.com/561GeAl.gif If this is anything to go by it doesn't seem to be a problem.]]
* TwentyFourHourArmor: The Fighter.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The Dwarf.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: The Wizard.

* AmazonianBeauty: The Amazon has the physique of a bodybuilder and fights wearing a ChainmailBikini.
* AnAxeToGrind: The Amazon.

* BadassLongRobe: The Wizard.

* BlackMage: The Wizard fits this quite nicely.

* ChainmailBikini: The Amazon; think Comicbook/RedSonja with a thong and bikini that's one size too small.
* DevelopmentHell
* DetachedSleeves: The Sorceress.
* DropTheHammer: The Dwarf.
* {{Gainaxing}}: The Sorceress. The trope isn't unusual in an Vanillaware title, but it has never before been ''this'' blatant.
* GlassCannon[=/=]LightningBruiser[=/=]MightyGlacier: A rather weird case with the Amazon; she has both ''speed'' and ''power'', but her attack speed is sluggish and her defense is about as low as that of a FragileSpeedster.
** FridgeBrilliance: What else would you expect when she barely wears anything, not to mention armor?

* [[HotWitch Hot Sorceress]]: Guess who.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: The Sorceress's ''real'' magic is how she gets her chest to stay in that dress.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: The Sorceress, though different from the usual examples in that she's more of a support class.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Fighter, who can even block ''dragon's breath'' for both himself and everyone behind him.

* MsFanservice: The Amazon and the Sorceress, to a highly successful degree, artists started [[RuleThirtyFour fawning over]] them as soon ''their models'' got revealed; nope, there's no need to actually wait for the game to be released and know their character at all.

* PlayingWithFire: The Wizard.

* Silvia the Amazon: They wield two-handed weapons that deal high damage and they're quite nimble on their feet, but they're quite fragile and slow to attack.

* Juliet the Elf: Uses a bow as their main weapon, but they use an assortment of special skills that help help them adapt to any situation and compensate for their low offense and defense.
* Theobald the Fighter: A fully armored warrior boasting the highest defense of all the classes, a shield that can be used to defend himself and the rest of the party, and fast attacking speed with his short-ranged sword.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Fighter.

* SwordAndSorcery: Complete with shifty-looking thieves and merchants, skeleton warriors, etc.

* TokenWholesome: The Elf. Of the three female characters, she's the only one that's reasonably dressed for the task at hand and the least endowed.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''[[DungeonsAndDragonsShadowOverMystara Dungeons & Dragons: Tower Of Doom]]''.

* Amazon: They wield two-handed weapons that deal high damage and they're quite nimble on their feet, but they're quite fragile and slow to attack.

* Fighter: A fully armored warrior boasting the highest defense of all the classes, a shield that can be used to defend himself and the rest of the party, and fast attacking speed with his short-ranged sword.

* The trailer also depicts Knight and Thief classes as well, but since they are not seen engaging in combat it is unknown if they provide anything more than a supplemental role.

* HeroesPreferSwords: The Fighter.
