* EvilIsSexy: The seven N.E.X.U.S. personalities are all drawn as attractive young women with several prominent {{Fanservice}} traits such as GodivaHair, {{Underboobs}} and OfCorsetsSexy. It can be almost easy to forget they're the BigBad of the setting.

* ParanoiaFuel: Nanobots are everywhere. Not just in the metal and technology but in the plants, water, air... they might even be inside most human beings! It's a good thing that they merely prevent people from using mechanical gadgets and tools rather than killing them outright, otherwise the war would probably be over in a single day...

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: While not quite as bad as a few other TabletopGame settings ''Splicers'' is definitely one of Palladium's darker series and it shows in both the story and gameplay. Humanity has been devastated by a nanobot plague that prevents them from using any metallic technology and has forced them into a deadly and almost completely hopeless RobotWar against a rouge A.I. that could wipe them out at almost any moment if it wasn't already busy with it's many conflicting personalities. People have only survived by undergoing grisly and often disfiguring biological mutations and finding a way to use organic technology against their overwhelming mechanical opponents. While a good G.M. can preserve morale among the players while also maintaining the drama ''Splicers'' is definitely not a game for the faint of heart or people that have grown accustomed to Palladium's more lighthearted and campy works (like TabletopGame/{{Rifts}} or TabletopGame/HeroesUnlimited) with its gritty sci-fi realism and grim situation.
