* {{Demythification}}: The monsters you fight are all gigantic versions of mundane sea creatures and a couple prehistoric marine animals. [[spoiler:Subverted with the last boss where it initially looks like you face a strange but otherwise normal giant humanoid, who turns out to be an ancient sea god who created nearly all the previous monsters himself. For bonus points, Rahab is also the name of a sea monster and ocean demon from jewish folklore.]]

* NintendoHard: This game eats your quarters like Karkinos eats whales.

* UnderwaterBossBattle: Every battle in the game, by default, with one exception; Ahuizotl. For the second phase, you get up onto some rocks above the surface and essentially play whack-a-mole, but with water instead of dirt, a harpoon gun instead of a hammer, and an irate reptiles instead of moles.

** Charybdis keeps deep sea eels in her mouth for boss fights.

* TimedMission: White Death is attacking a scientist, and if you want to fight [[BonusBoss Sea Dragon]], you'd better be really damn fast. If the scientist dies, you don't get bonus health and... [[PermanentlyMissableContent well...]]

* ThreateningShark: A will be encountering a ton of them in many flavors; from small minion sharks, to bigger boss sharks, to the big end level boss shark Leviathan.

* AlluringAnglerfish: Charybdis, the nightmarish giant Angler.

* KrakenAndLeviathan: Pretty much to be expected in a game that focuses on destroying huge sea monsters. Kraken is a giant octopus and the first boss, while Leviathan is a [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks Megalodon]] and the second boss.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: You fight no less than ''five'' giant sharks: White Death, the trio known as Kerberos, and the nightmare-inducing Leviathan. Normal-sized sharks are also common enemies in the first, second, and seventh levels.

* StrongFleshWeakSteel: The organic bosses can take countless shots from your harpoon gun before going down.

* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Going by the ending narration, Ahuizoth is the only one of the Seven Great Monsters who ''isn't'' Rahab or created by him. It is merely an ancient monster who survived to the present day.

* UnreliableNarrator: Rehab ''claims'' that humans were despoiling the sea and such. Though being an ancient creature who's never really interacted with humans, it's possible he was more pissed that they were just sailing on ''his'' domain considering he mention that "...as if man had owned the ocean". Not as if gods can't be petty after all.

* UnderwaterBossBattle: Every battle in the game, by default, with one exception; Ahuizotl. For the second phase, you get up onto some rocks above the surface and essentially play whack-a-mole, but with water instead of dirt, a harpoon gun instead of a hammer, and an irate dino instead of moles.

* {{Demythification}}: The monsters you fight are all gigantic versions of mundane sea creatures and a couple dinosaurs. [[spoiler:Subverted with the last boss where it initially looks like you face a strange but otherwise normal giant humanoid, who turns out to be an ancient sea god who created nearly all the previous monsters himself. For bonus points, Rahab is also the name of a sea monster and ocean demon from jewish folklore.]]

* OceanPunk: You travel in a hot air balloon and attack enemies with a unique spear gun that also acts your main propulsion. Other divers using similar technology confirms you aren’t just some eccentric inventor.

* {{Demythification}}: The monsters you fight are all gigantic versions of mundane sea creatures... and a couple dinosaurs...[[spoiler:Then you face the ancient sea god who created nearly all of said monsters himself. For bonus points, Rahab is also the name of a sea monster and ocean demon from jewish folklore.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: The end credits reveal that the giant monsters were spawned from Rahab, meaning that you've been killing creatures that are less giant animals and more {{Animalistic Abomination}}s, before rounding it all off by killing the god of the sea himself.]]

** Midgardsorm's parasites.
* GaiasVengeance: Rahab was pissed at humans for polluting, abusing, and otherwise messing with the ocean, so he created the other Great Monsters to put us in our place. Except Midgardsorm., it is implied he was been terrorizing the seas before Rahab began his campaign against humanity.

* GodOfEvil: Rahab. He claims to be trying to take back the sea from humans, but the huge amount of damage his children are causing as well as his ending monologue proves he is much more interested in destroying humanity and plunging the world into chaos.

* LightningBruiser: Rahab is easily the fastest of the bosses and ducks in and out of the pillars for cover and to take the palyer off guard.

* UnreliableNarrator: Rehab ''claims'' that humans were despoiling the sea and such. Though being a ancient creature who's never really interacted with humans, it's possible he was more pissed that they were just sailing on ''his'' domain considering he mention that "..as if man had owned the ocean". Not as if gods can't be petty after all.

* AchillesHeel: Apart from the soft-spots, each boss has a vital point that must be hit three times in order to win, including Kraken and Karkinos' eyes, Leviathan's throat and Charybdis' light.

* BreathWeapon: In his intermediate form as Poseidon, the final boss spits... [[KillitWithWater giant bubbles]]... at you.

* GaiasVengeance: Rahab was pissed at humans for polluting, abusing, and otherwise messing with the ocean, so he created the other Great Monsters to put us in our place. Except Midgardsorm. Middy has been terrorizing the seas before Rahab made it cool.

%%* GodOfEvil: Rahab's final form.

* JustEatHim: Near the end of her battle, Charybdis decides to attempt this, simply inhaling you rather than spew gulper eels or charge to bite. Midgardsorm does this too, and it ends poorly for him as it gives the player a direct shot at his heart. And of course, this is Leviathan's MO form the start, with him being a [[ThreateningShark Megalodon]] and all.

%%* LightningBruiser: Rahab.

%%* MarathonBoss: Rahab.

%%* ThreateningShark:

* {{Alternate History}}: The game takes place in an alternate steampunk version of the Earth we live in. Also interesting to add is that the oceans and the seas are named differently from the world we live in. (See also {{SteamPunk}} and {{OceanPunk}})
* AllMythsAreTrue: All bosses and minibosses are named after mythological creatures from all over the globe.

* OceanOfAdventure: The main plot of the game is that you're an explorer in a steampunk world trying to explore the uncharted in search of treasure and research, but behemoth aquatic monsters keep attacking ships to the point bounties are put on them. Your player characters decide to collect and likewise make the ocean safe to travel in.

* RuleOfCool / RuleOfScary: Quite a few of the "monsters" are harmless to humans in real life if are left unprovoked. Namely the Sea Dragon and Black Dragon (marine iguanas), the stingrays, and Naga, Vitrya, and Kalya (the ribbon fish). Medusa (a lion's mane jellyfish) would only sting if touched and wouldn't actively charge at a person. [[spoiler: All things considered, it's possible Rahab affected them in some way to make them hostile toward the humans despoiling his seas.]]

%%* ThreateningShark: Well, duh.

* GodOfEvil: Rahab's final form.

* LightningBruiser: Rahab.
