* BonusBoss: There are many bounties for players to hunt down, most of which have nothing do with the main plot. Also, new bounties pop up once the player beats the game, which serve as extra challenge.

* EarlyGameHell: Averted, the protagonist starts with a disturbingly high amount of HP, a flat 1000, which is dramatically more then generics will have at that level, and more then enough to survive pretty much any enemy in the prologue area, meanwhile generics are averaging roughly 250 at Lv2, and this HP gap never really vanishes, additionally, you can rarely find the "Wide Shot" AoE weapon whenever you search the ground where there's nothing, or buy one easily, giving you a huge edge on early mob fights.

* CharacterClassSystem: The first game to introduce new classes outside of the classic hunter, soldier, mechanic, and dog. Outside of the main character, the players are free to pick any classes for the remaining three spots (or go solo if they choose):

** '''Dog''': [[TeamPet The intelligent dog]] that [[WeaponizedAnimal can use various weapons]] and help the party. Unlike previous titles, dogs now have access to exclusive accessories that give huge elemental resistance, which immensely help its survivability. As usual, the dog does not follow the player's commands and act on its own.

** '''Soldiers''': [[CombatPragmatist Combat Pragmatists]] who specialize in melee combat. Out of all classes, they have the widest selection of equipment. Their skills are only usable while on foot so they are not as good in tank fights.

** '''Wrestlers''': [[WrestlerInAllOfUs The wrestlers]] who can deal great damage in both melee and tank fights with their buffs. Unfortunately, they have the narrowest selection of equipment and most of their skills target single enemy or hit randomly, making them rely on vehicles for taking out mobs. Also, while they have the highest HP pool of all classes, their skills are only usable while on foot, making them susceptible to StatusEffects and attacks from deadly foes.

* GlassCannon: While wrestlers can deal great damage and have the highest HP pool out of all classes, their narrow selection of equipment and skills that are usable only while on foot make them exposed to more enemy fires and StatusEffects than other classes.

** '''Grapplers''': [[WrestlerInAllOfUs The wrestlers]] who can deal great damage in both melee and tank fights with their buffs. Unfortunately, they have the narrowest selection of equipment and most of their skills target single enemy or hit randomly, making them rely on vehicles for taking out mobs. Also, while they have the highest HP pool of all classes, their skills are only usable while on foot, making them susceptible to StatusEffects and attacks from deadly foes.

** '''Dog''': [[TeamPet The intelligent dog]] that can use various weapons and help the party. Unlike previous titles, dogs now have access to exclusive accessories that give huge elemental resistance, which immensely help its survivability. As usual, the dog does not follow the player's commands and act on its own.

* PosthumousCharacter: King Ginsky, [[spoiler:who not only manipulated many people to build Shelter for his family and rule it as the king but also murdered his own daughter Alieze when she fell in love with Dr. Grey AKA Gratonos, setting him off on RoaringRampageOfRevenge against King's descendents]].

* BonusBoss: New bounties pop up once the player beats the game, which serve as extra challenge.

** On human's side, we have Magnum Gades, which is a rare drop from Sintipede who is fought during the mid game. It is a handgun that shoots four bullets. While its attack power is slightly on the weak side (190 as opposed to 250's of other endgame weapons), the fact that it hits a single target four times more than make up for it.

* HostageForMacGuffin: Near the end of the game, [[spoiler:Gratonos]] manages to capture Cola and offers to free her in exchange for Twin Lotus, one of the keys for Jagannath.

* {{Nanomachines}}: The Metamorph Cell, [[spoiler:which is how the Coldblood Clan creates their elite members such as Olga Mode and the protagonist]]. It was originally designed to create SuperSoldier who can fight against Noah and its army of mechanical monstrosities.

* TankGoodness: In addition to thanks, this is the first game to introduce even more variety of rides such as armored motorcycles, cars, [[OrganicTechnology the bio-tank]], and the four-legged parade palanquin.

* TheDragon: Olga Mode serves as this to [[spoiler:Gratonos]].

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Sintipede, the new No. 3 of the Coldblood Clan after Bladetooth [[spoiler:AKA the main character]] was presumed dead.

* ALoadOfBull: Auroch, the No. 2 of the Coldblood Clan.

* MasterOfDisguise: Olga Mode.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Sintipede, befitting his nature as a gigantic centipede man.

* RoyalBrat: Cola starts out as this but slowly becomes a better person over the course of the game.

* BonusBoss: New bounties pop up once the player beats the game, which serves as extra challenge.

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Gratonos transforms into a three-headed dinosaur after you destroy his WeaponOfMassDestruction]].

** '''Dog''': The intelligent dog that can use various weapons and help the party. Unlike previous titles, dogs now have access to exclusive accessories that give huge elemental resistance, which immensely help its survivability. As usual, the dog does not follow the player's commands and act on its own.

** '''Hunters''': JackOfAllTrades with more focus on tank combat. While they lag behind Soldier and Wrestler in melee, the wide range of equipments they have access to allows them to act as great supports on foot.

* TheDragon: Olga Mode serves as this to [[spoiler:Gratonos]].

* TankGoodness: The first to introduce even more variety of rides such as armored motorcycles, cars, [[OrganicTechnology the bio-tank]], and the four-legged parade palanquin.

* YouAreNumberSix : Or as [[spoiler:Gratonos]] says, [[spoiler:the main character]] is [[spoiler:Subject No.1313, who was the first to [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent successfully transform]]]].

** ''Grapplers'': [[WrestlerInAllOfUs The wrestlers]] who can deal great damage in both melee and tank fights with their buffs. Unfortunately, they have the narrowest selection of equipment and most of their skills target single enemy or hit randomly, making them rely on vehicles for taking out mobs. Also, while they have the highest HP pool of all classes, their skills are only usable while on foot, making them susceptible to StatusEffects and attacks from deadly foes.
** ''Artists'': Another JackOfAllTrades who are equally good at melee and tanks. They can also craft special shells for tanks and upgrade tank equipment using metals.

Although the game suffered NoExportForYou, it was translated by Metal Dreamers in 2020.
