Drake came first, so the comparison only applies to Reaper.


* CounterpartComparison: Drake seems to be similar to Reaper from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' since both are edgy assassins who drop their weapons and pull out new ones rather than reload them.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Badass is no longer a trope.


* MemeticLoser: Drake himself, due to ''canonically'' dying frequently, his dialogue being [[{{Narm}} incredibly corny]], and in general just coming off as lame rather than {{Badass}}.

That paraphrase was *really* clunky.

* SoBadItsGood: Similarly to the VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames: The gameplay is undoubtedly terrible, but the cutscenes are ''vastly'' better despite being so cheesy.

* HilariousInHindsight: The infamous scene near the beginning where [[IdiotHero Drake]] [[TooDumbToLive throws himself out of a skyscraper window]] under the belief that he's become invincible ([[EpicFail And dies]]) becomes a lot funnier when you realise it's a lot like [[https://youtu.be/NpI0s0ky53I?t=1m9s a very similar scene]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie''.

** [[WordOfGod According to interviews]], the cel-shaded graphics were meant to resemble the art style of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Then, several years later, Batman gets his own cel-shaded game in the form of ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries''.

* UncannyValley: The models of the characters are just as bad as the rest of the game, with Drake in particular looking like he has no teeth and regularly having a weird, slack-jawed expression on his face. The poor implementation of the lock-on ability also means that Drake's arms flail wildly during gameplay and bend and contort in impossible directions; not only does Drake's death animation have him lift his arms (at awkward angles, natch) in vain as he tries to sit back up, this sometimes glitches and causes said arms to aim at gameplay targets ''after he's dead''.

* FridgeLogic: WebOriginal/ProJared pointed out in his review how stupid the use of the ThrowAwayGuns trope is in this game, since Drake is a professional assassin throwing away dozens of guns covered in his fingerprints. He also points out how Drake somehow manages to bring his master's physical body to the guardians' realm (which Drake can only get to by dying and going there in his spirit form.)
