** ''KAMUI'': The A.I. based on Xaffiquel tries to wreck havoc on the planet. Inverted with the A.I. based on Panaffil, who fights for the good of humanity.

* AllUpToYou: {{Averted|Trope}} in ''ALLTYNEX Second'' where the player ship is only one of a much larger force that can be seen in the first level of the game.
** Zigzagged in ''[=RefleX=]'' with you having help from your allies in Area 1 but left on your own from Area 2 to 5. Justified in Area 7 where your backup got killed.

* BackToFront: The games were released in the opposite order their stories go; ''Kamui'' (1998) is last, ''[=RefleX=]'' (2008) is in the middle, and ''ALLTYNEX Second'' (2010) comes first). Amusingly, the latter two games in the series are remakes of existing games: ''Reflection '' (1998) and ''ALLTYNEX'' (1996), meaning that retroactively, the series was still released in straight chronological order.

* BulletHell: Although it is a lot less bullets than the typical bullet hell but still enough to qualify.

* LonelyPianoPiece: In the series' sadder or more serious moments the piano is used instead of an organ.

* ScoringPoints: As shoot 'em ups, each game feature different scoring mechanics that incorporates each ships' capabilities.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: This series fall quite a way into the cynical side.
* SpreadShot: Each ship in the series uses one, but how they work differ from each game. In ''Kamui'', you start with a basic frontal attack but your shots can increase in width as you collect the green power-up items; in ''[=Reflex=]'' and ''ALLTYNEX Second'', the width and firepower of your shots are dependent on your ship's energy meter.

* VideoGameRemake: Two of the games in the series are remakes to one of the developers previous games.

'''''The Tale of ALLTYNEX''''' is a trilogy of doujin BulletHell [[ShootEmUp Shoot 'em Ups]] developed by SITER SKAIN with its story centering around the [[AIIsACrapshoot malicious]] [[MasterComputer super-computer]], the ALLTYNEX OS. Each game in the series has its own gameplay mechanics and gimmicks. One thing that stays consistent in the series, however, is that despite the games being of the bullet hell genre, the ships are much [[MadeOfIron tougher]] and have much larger hit-boxes than the standard bullet hell game. Thankfully each game provides you with some form of protection against the sheer onslaught of bullets, averting the tradition of most shoot 'em ups with ships being a OneHitPointWonder.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: For those who donated to the Kickstarter:
** A stretch goal was reached that allowed some form of this.
*** Those who pitched in at least $35 got a digital copy of the official guidebook, which features detailed information on the mechanics and the backstory.
*** [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Had the project achieved another goal]], those who put in $45 or more would've received a physical guidebook in addition to the digital one, and yet another goal would have resulted in physical copies of the games and soundtracks as well as a set of postcards.
*** As a consolation prize, those who pitched in at least $45 instead got the "Digital Deluxe Edition", which includes high-resolution images of the box and CD label art for the games and soundtracks. A do-it-yourself collector's edition, if you will.
** Regardless of the stretch goals, higher tiers yielded items like T-shirts, a plushie of SITER SKAIN's mascot, and even a bodypillow of Alice.

SITER SKAIN released a story and art compilation book at Comiket 80, which was released digitally, also by Nyu Media. A game called ''Final Apocalypse'' is currently being developed and uses the same graphics engine as ''ALLTYNEX Second'' but it's unknown as of now if it has any relation this series.

** [[spoiler:ZODIAC Ophiuchus]] has appeared as a boss more times than ALLTYNEX itself. In each game it appears, you know the world isn't safe. [[spoiler:Just ask the survivors of the Raiwat Invasion.]]
