* HarsherInHindsight: Your main character's default name is Corona, which is Latin for crown. However by the 2020s, the name is largely associated with a [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic global pandemic]] rather than standard fantasy name.



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The game boasts some of the best spriteart you'll ever see in a Sega Genesis RPG, to where at a glance the game could easily be mistaken for a Super Nintendo game.

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenAesop: After spending the entire game [[{{Anvilicious}} beating it into the players head]] that the monsters are people too, deserve equal rights, and actually could coexist with Humans if the Humans got rid of their racism, [[spoiler:the ending does a complete 180 and has the hero banish all the monsters to the "underworld" where they originated from, because apparently monsters ''aren't'' people after all and could never coexist with Humans...]]
** It's not as bad in the European translation. The monsters are trapped in the human world and want to get back to the underworld.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Like many Genesis games released by Altus, there production run of the game wasn't particularly large, resulting in a higher retail price (as they didn't have the economies of scale to keep the price down), which didn't exactly help sales. Subsequently authentic cartridges are incredibly expensive in the secondary market, regularly fetching well over $1000 for complete-in-box copies, and the game is frequently found as pirate reproductions. It was added to the Nintendo Switch Online Genesis collection in June 2023.

* HilariousInHindsight: Monsters spending millennia trapped in the underground, desiring revenge on the humans? A human youth forced to go among the monsters, and blamed for attacking them, even though he isn't the aggressor? A happy ending for the worlds of both monsters and humans? Is this a prequel to ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'' or what?

* EsotericHappyEnding: A lot of time is spent setting up that monsters aren't evil, and just want peace, [[BrokenAesop except when you have to fight them,]] which you spend the entire game doing, with scenes with them begging you to find way for humans and monsters to live in peace... You go back to before humans existed and send all the monsters off to their own world, because HumansAreBastards, and will never, ever accept them. This is meant as a happy ending, evidently. Though one could argue that the alternatives are worse...

Added DiffLines:

* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: The game is a fun top-down action Zelda-like with unique gameplay ideas. The story though is generic, messy, and has [[BrokenAesop some confused morals.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* AntiClimaxBoss: The [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Spirit]] [[FinalBoss Energy]] really isn't anything difficult. All it takes is to throw your sword using the Dodo's ability to get it to open its eye and then combine that with either [[KillItWithFire the lion]] or [[KillItWithIce the penguin]] to hurt it. You can even do this mid throw, allowing you to open its eye and damage it with the same throw. It only retaliates with a homing PainfullySlowProjectile as an attack that can destroy the ice platforms you're standing on... [[UpToEleven which can be distracted by the shapeshifting Wong anyway]].

Whoops, sorry. Corona is a mundane word and means crown. Also, Funny Aneurysm Moment now redirects to Harsher In Hindsight.

No!


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The main character's name is Corona. Perfectly innocuous in 1994, but in [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic 2019-2020]] a name like that ''cannot'' conjure pleasant imagery.

* SpiritualAdaptation: The themes of boys training as [[HunterOfMonsters Hunters Of Monsters]] and HumansAreTheRealMonsters draw a lot of parallels with ''Franchise/TheWitcher''. Corona even uses a sword made of a precious metal, though gold as opposed to silver in addition to a traditional steel sword.

* GeniusBonus: Young boys taking up the sword at the age of fourteen seems like a rather arbitrary age for such a thing to happen. That is until you consider the fact that this was historically the age that boys became squires and trained to become knights.
