* AnachronismStew: Despite taking place in a medieval fantasy world, the film series ''Film/StarWars'' and video game franchise ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'' are said to exist. However it is implied that in this world they are books rather than films or video games. Anime is mentioned but is implied to be books with moving pictures due to magic. The character Jonathan mentions ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks'' but it seems to be a board game. Also, WordOfGod says that the "real-life" aspects of the game were gathered over the course of 4 years, but the game's plot is contained within about a week.

The opening narration of the game suggests that it is VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory, but the fantastical setting of the game puts some doubt on that claim.

!! This Video Game provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: Most of the main cast have very average American names (Joey, Sarah, Michael, Jason, Ryan, etc.). But some of their friends include Jwong and Smelinore.
* AnachronismStew: Despite taking place in a medieval fantasy world, the film series ''Film/StarWars'' and video game franchise ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'' are said to exist. However it is implied that in this world they are books rather than films or video games. Anime is mentioned but is implied to be books with moving pictures due to magic.

Also, WordOfGod says that the "real-life" aspects of the game were gathered over the course of 4 years, but the game's plot is contained within about a week.
* BattleCouple: Pradheep and Sarah. Tori and Mike. [[spoiler:Villanous examples of Sam N. and Julia. Colton and Lauren.]]
* BashBrothers: Conor and Joey. Ethan and David. Jason and Ryan.
* BetaCouple: Tori and Mike are the betas, with Pradheep and Sarah being the main couple.
* BigBad: Lord Colton, along with [[spoiler: Lauren, his lover.]]
* CoolGate: The teleportation crystals. Also see PortalDoor for the chimney teleporter.
* CrooksAreBetterArmed: Comically inverted. In a side quest, a man named Devon robs a local store at ''spoonpoint''.
* DifficultySpike: The final confrontation includes a BossRush featuring a battle against the the duo of Brayden and Sam M., both buffed, then one against [[spoiler: Hamilton, Lord Colton's pet dragon]], then ''finally'' one against Lord Colton and [[spoiler: his queen, Lauren.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sam N. joins Lord Colton and seeks to destroy Pradheep. Why? Because [[spoiler: Pradheep beat him at a board game.]]
* TheDragon: Though Brayden is the most prominent example, this duty is also shared by both Sams, as well as [[spoiler: Hamilton, Lord Colton's ''literal'' dragon.]]
* DungeonCrawling: Plenty of it.
* FireForgedFriends: Towards the end of the adventure all the party members have come to appreciate each other's company and all they have been through together. Even Pradheep admits to admiring everyone sticking by for so long.
* HeelRealization: Upon being deafeated, [[spoiler: Sam N.]] expresses regret for his actions.
* JiveTurkey: Many characters speak with slang including Ethan, Conor, Joey, Ryan, and David, who all refer to each as "boyo" as a term of endearment. Sam M. and Devon speak in African-American Vernacular English. Queen Ellie speaks with an American Southern accent. In contrast, Pradheep, Jwong, and Jason all speak very formally.
* LampshadeHanging:
** Upon being tasked with clearing a cave of monsters, Joey sarcastically comments that RolePlayingGames ''never'' involve monster hunting.
* NukeEm: One of Lord Colton's go-to moves, Nuclear, deals massive damage to all active party members.
* PoliceBrutality: After being chased off by Pradheep and company, [[spoiler: Devon, a black man, is shot to death by a police officer, despite being unarmed.]] It's a strange moment that borders on being an UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode.
* PlanetOfSteves: There are two Justin's and two Sam's. In addition, there are also two Paul's, ''both'' of which are younger brothers of the main characters.
* PressXToDie: Consuming a Snow Dog or an Organic Snow Dog will cause the character's health to instantly drop to 0.
* ShoutOut:
** When the gang runs into Marc in Lord Colton's castle, Joey references ''Film/TheRoom'' by quoting some of its most infamous lines.
** Twice done by Jason, in reference to ''Film/SuicideSquad (2016)''
--> '''Jason:''' What are we, some kind of "Rescue" squad?
--> '''Jason (at a later point):''': What are we, some kind of "self-destruction" squad?
** [[spoiler:Colton paraphrases Don Vito from the ''Film/TheGodfather'']]
** Pradheep quotes ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' when speaking to Ellie's head chef.
-->'''Pradheep:''' Green is not a creative color.
** One of Queen Ellie's strategists quotes '' Film/DrStrangelove'' in the War Room.
** Colton has a tendency to quote Sheev Palpatine from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' Brayden also frequently quotes Grievous and Dooku from the same film.
** The intro text is an homage to the opening title crawl of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''
* TakeUpMySword: After [[spoiler: Sam N.]] is killed, Lord Colton appoints [[spoiler: Sam M.]] in his place.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Sarah and Tori are the only recruit-able female members of the party. If the player misses Tori, then it's TheSmurfettePrinciple.
* VillainSong: The sound of Stephen's singing can be heard both during his boss battle and throughout the dungeon in which he appears.
* VocalMinority: Pradheep seems to be the only one who objects to killing people. Not even uber-moralist Jason seems to mind.
* WarmUpBoss: Rajiv, at the end of the NoobCave.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Smelinore's country inflections are commented on by Conor in a bit of LampshadeHanging.
