* AmbushingEnemy: The [[spoiler: Shadow Beasts in the Dark Jungle]] lie in wait [[spoiler: hidden in the darkness]] until you get near them before jumping out at you.

* AncientEvil: [[spoiler: Astralis. Hypokhrisis is even ''more'' ancient, being its progenitor.]]
* BattleThemeMusic: Program Rage for minor bosses (with a chiptune version for the Avatar Duo levels) and Overcharged for major bosses. Alvis, X01 and [[spoiler: the Ancient Weapon, Astral Comet, Astralis and Ombryosis get unique boss themes.]]
* BerserkButton: X01 is ''very'' insistent that they are not a virus, so anyone calling them such aggravates them. Amusingly, even Alvis calls them one.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: A conversation with Aria, the [[MotherNature Kewtian Goddess of Nature]], in the PlayableEpilogue has her mentioning that some people get the wrong idea when it comes to [[SummoningRitual summoning her]] and [[HumanSacrifice use sacrifices for their rituals]]; so to discourage them, she "teaches them a lesson" when she arrives. [[NothingIsScarier She never states what she actually does,]] but her summoners quickly learn never to do it again.
* BigBadEnsemble: Alvis and X01.
* BigGood: Matt, the [[ShockAndAwe Kewtian God of Thunder]] [[spoiler: and Starter's father]].
* BonusBoss: As Starter makes his way up [[DeathMountain Mt. Mokula]], [[HearingVoices he repeatedly hears voices from a random assortment of characters telling him to follow them.]] If he decides to do so, [[SchmuckBait despite the warnings from Avatar Duo not to]], he will end up finding himself face to face with [[spoiler: a Khraosis Entity known as Dimula.]] Considering that [[spoiler: the only other Khraosis Entity he fights in the game is the TrueFinalBoss]], he's in for a difficult fight.

* DualBoss: [[spoiler: Koko and Nanyar decide to team up for the final fight against them.]]
* EarnYourBadEnding: [[spoiler: After facing each of them separately, Starter X has to fight against the combined forces of Block Team, Pi, Pauline and Halt all at once. He is normally supposed to lose this battle to progress the story; but if he does manage to win, it leads to the Corruption ending where Alvis succeeds in destroying the universe with the Ancient Weapon, Starter X rampages around for fun and Astralis eventually hatches.]]

* EldritchLocation: The Bottomless Pit, despite its name, does in fact have a bottom; it's just the depth to reach it is different every time someone falls (or jumps) in. It was also not always on Tanrega, having mysteriously appeared next to the [[HauntedCastle Haunted Chateau]] one day. Other examples include:
** Kewtia, the Kewtians' home world, is a lush and peaceful planet that is also [[AlienGeometries infinite in size]] (a single blade of grass is described as being bigger than the universe Tanrega is in) and its trees grow ''planets'' as fruit.
** [[spoiler: The Dark Jungle is a shadowy jungle in an enclosed area with multiple doors that must be traversed in the correct order to escape. Once the Soul of the Jungle is defeated, the Dark Jungle vanishes; replaced with the Silent Grove from there on.]]
** [[spoiler: Dimula's Cavern is a cavern affected by Khraosis. The exit comes out at the same place as the entrance does; despite the exit being located significantly further away from the entrance ''inside'' the cavern.]]

* EvilGenius: Zeemo.
* EvilTaintedThePlace: [[spoiler: The true final level, World Core, is an underground facility infested with Khraosis.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Starter becomes corrupted by X01 late in the game, completely changing his personality. Not only does he delight in the idea of killing all the friends he's made over the course of the game, he's the one to ''suggest'' the idea. Since the player still controls him at this point, ''it's also the next objective.'' Fortunately, the corruption is only temporary, unless the player goes to the effort to get the Corruption ending.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: The Ancient Weapon, a four-legged AI-driven machine capable of destroying the universe.]]

* FreeFallFight: Against [[spoiler: Ancient Weapon's Core]].
* GreaterScopeParagon: The Kewtians, [[SizeShifter size-shifting]] friendly [[CosmicEntity god-like beings]]; the older of which can be bigger than universes.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: The Celestial Nightmare Astralis, a Khraosis Entity that not only corrupted Alvis but is implied to have also been the ultimate cause behind the Great War and created X01.

* GreatOffscreenWar: The Great War.
* GreenHillZone: The Grasslands.
* HauntedCastle: The Haunted Chateau.

* LeakingCanOfEvil: [[spoiler: Astralis in the Astral Comet.]]

* MalevolentMaskedMen: Alvis is an example of this.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Astralis.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Alvis. [[spoiler: He takes advantage of Oreen's anger and hate at everyone to convince her to help him destroy the universe, he name drops Urudia after the first fight against him to trick Starter into fetching the Corium that he needs from there for him and then has Bravio lure Starter into the Deep Factorium so he can not only steal the Corium from him, but also freeze Starter and Avatar Duo in place so X01 can corrupt him, turning him against his friends.]]
* MonsterProgenitor: [[spoiler: Hypokhrisis.]]
* MultiStageBattle: The fight against the [[HumongousMecha Mokula Titan]] has it and Starter [[ElevatorActionSequence being lifted by a rising floor up through Mokula Base during the boss battle]], with the final phase taking place on the roof. [[spoiler: The [[FinalBoss Ancient Weapon]] breaks ''down'' through multiple floors of the Sky Facility during its boss fight.]]
* NostalgiaLevel: The [[FloatingContinent Sky]] [[EternalEngine Facility]] that appears as an area in this game is where ''[[VideoGame/{{Geneticognito}} Geneticognito]]'' took place, [[spoiler: with Area X being the same final level in both games]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The Destructive Defence Unit in Mokula Base.]]
* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The second fight against Alvis serves as this before the heroes go on to face the Ancient Weapon.]]
* ReclaimedByNature: The Greendome has been left alone for so long that it has become overrun by various fauna.

* RemilitarizedZone: Mokula Base.

* TeleportSpam: Alvis teleports frequently during his boss fights.

* UnderwaterRuins: The Water Well, Rainhalls, Uridian Oasis and the [[spoiler: Deep Factorium]] are all partially submerged ruins of old civilisations.
* UpgradedBoss: The conflicts against Zeemo take this form. Instead of fighting you himself, he sends rebuilt or mechanised versions of bosses you've already fought that are significantly tougher and stronger. [[spoiler: When he does decide to fight you directly, he does it in an improved version of the Proto Weapon from the previous game ''[[VideoGame/{{Geneticognito}} Geneticognito]]''.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Alvis used to be a lot kinder before he was gradually corrupted by Astralis.]]
* VillainTeleportation: Alvis has this power. In fact, [[TeleportSpam he pretty much doesn't move without teleporting]].
* WhamShot: Two examples:
** After [[spoiler: Avatar Duo defeats Final X01]], [[BigGood Matt]] is able to communicate with [[PlayerCharacter Starter]] and explain about his mission and what caught the eye of the [[GreaterScopeParagon Kewtians]] in the first place that necessitated Starter's arrival to Tanrega, with accompanying artwork. One piece of artwork depicts the reason: [[spoiler: ''the entire universe that Tanrega is in is surrounded by clouds of Khraosis.'']]
** Inside the [[spoiler: World Core]], Starter meets [[spoiler: the ghost of Arda, who explains how she and her brother fled their homeworld as it was being destroyed, again with accompanying artwork. One piece of artwork shows who her brother is: ''it's Alvis.'']]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: After defeating [[spoiler: Oreen]] for the final time, Starter finds out that the reason [[spoiler: she's]] helping Alvis [[spoiler: try and destroy the universe is because she's angry at everyone for what happened to her. She was kidnapped and transformed against her will into a Genetic Experiment by Professor Gruplin and so she wants to make everyone pay for the suffering she went through.]]
* XanatosGambit: To ensure that he gets a MacGuffin he needs, Alvis tells Starter at one point in the game that he if can defeat a particular boss, he'll tell him a little more about his EvilPlan. If Starter loses, then Alvis can just take the MacGuffin from him while he's unconscious. If Starter wins, then after delivering upon his promise, he'll [[spoiler: immobilise Starter]] and take the MacGuffin anyway.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: At the beginning of the game, Starter wakes up in the Factorium Core [[AmnesiacHero with practically no memory of what happened before.]]
