* ThatOneBoss: Prometheus at the end of the human campaign. IT gets a custom and stupidly overpowered mech that has a random weaponset, which can easily be the overpowered alien tech. Winning is almost luck.

* CompleteMonster: [[KillAllHumans Prometheus]] is a malevolent, sapient [[AIIsACrapshoot AI]] who is the leader and creator of the Cybrids. During an experiment in which IT linked with the mind of [=ITs=] own creator, Prometheus came to the conclusion that humans are mere animals deserving extermination. Prometheus pushed the Cybrids into a series of apocalyptic wars against humanity, ravaging Earth's ecosystem, in hope to replace them with [=ITs=] own "perfect" children. During an unprecedented campaign of genocide, the Cybrid army under Prometheus's command commits many atrocities, such as strapping living humans--including children--to the hulls of their war platforms, using them as {{human shield}}s; pumping them with pain-inducing drugs to make them scream; infecting small animals with nanoplagues to exploit human empathy against them; and maiming their victims in most brutal ways. When some of the Cybrids, called Metagens, defied the Core Directive for a more pragmatic solution of exploring stars instead of wasting resources in a pointless war against mankind, Prometheus declered them "bugthinkers" and ordered their elimination.

* CatharsisFactor: There's a lot of pleasure to be gained in laying waste to the Cybrids and entire enemy bases throughout the two ''Earthsiege'' games.

** Consider the schoolyard chant on the Main Page: cannibalism, human extermination, oceans of gore... Earth has gone through this twice now, and it's about to happen again, since it's attributed barely twenty years before ''Starsiege'' begins.

* {{Narm}}: The little British child that narrates the game can cause some of the cutscenes to be hard to take seriously, mostly because of him.
