17	----
18	!! ''REKKR'' contains examples of:
19
20	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: In [=E2M2=], you explore the sewer of the city. It's huge and filled with water, [[NoOSHACompliance poisonous liquid, and lava]].
21	* BilingualBonus: REKKR is Old Norse for "warrior".
22	* BloodstainedGlassWindows: [=E1M3=] takes place in chapel, and this place is full of enemies.
23	* CensoredChildDeath: The protagonist's newborn baby was killed alongside their mother, but you can only see a destroyed crib in your home.
24	* ChestMonster: There are mimics that disguise themselves to health bottles.
25	* ControlRoomPuzzle: Two of the puzzles present in the SecretLevel of the second episode are Control Room Puzzles. All the puzzles, including these two, are completely optional, but solving them will unlock passageways with lots of goodies to gather (and will also spare the player the need of facing hordes of enemies which appear in case a mistake is made).
26	** In the first, there are five blue switches placed respectively in five columns, which in turn surround a 3x3 grid that displays special drawings, and in turn those drawings are also represented by the aforementioned columns. In the east and south sides of the grid are purple-colored luminous chevrons. Each drawing in the grid represents a number, and the chevrons displayed at the end of a line of drawings represent the sum of the numbers provided by the drawings. This effectively results in a system of equations where the player can figure out the value represented by each drawing, and therefore the number of times each switch associated with its column's displayed drawing has to be pressed.
27	** The second puzzle makes use of a solution that can be figured out in a previous room that is otherwise unimportant. In that room, there are eight switches, and each one turns on a specific number of purple chevrons in the wall. It turns out the amounts are not random, as they're powers of two, going from 1 (2⁰) to 128 (2⁷). The player has to memorize how many chevrons are lit by each switch, because this indicates the order in which the eye switches in the room with the actual puzzle have to be pressed.
28	* DoomedHometown: Hellish creatures destroyed the protagonist's hometown and slaughtered its residents, and many of them were transformed to zombie-like monsters.
29	* FantasyGunControl: Averted, two of ''REKKR'''s weapons are the Steelshot Launcher, a shotgun with multiple barrels and a crank for loading new rounds, and the Soul Launcher, a gun that literally shoots souls at enemies.
30	* TheGoomba: Former Humans are zombified and mostly naked residents, and they are the weakest enemy in this game. They have low health and their only attack is hitting you with their hands.
31	* GrenadeLauncher: The Runic Staff works like a magical grenade launcher; It launches runes that explode.
32	* HumanoidAbomination: Before the protagonist returns into his home, residents in your hometown were turned into horrific monsters.
33	* HornyVikings: The protagonist looks like a typical viking. He wears a horned helmet, too.
34	* LateToTheTragedy: Everyone in the home island of the protagonist was killed before the game starts. He travels to another island to seek help after the end of Episode 1, but he eventually find that the same thing happened in the said island.
35	* MookMedic: Flying eyes can resurrect dead monsters by touching their corpse.
36	* ShortRangeShotgun: The Steelshot Launcher deals good damage, but it's inaccurate.
37	* UpdatedRerelease: ''REKKR: Sunken Land'', a standalone version of the game on Steam, which doesn't require a copy of ''Doom'' to run, and adds a brand new fourth episode.
38	* VideogameCrueltyPotential: There are wandering [[FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore jackalopes]]. They don't attack you, but you can slaughter them for some health.
39	* WhenTreesAttack: Treebeasts are living tree stumps, and they shoot projectiles at you. They often [[AmbushingEnemy disguise themselves as a normal-looking tree]].
40	* YourSoulIsMine: You can harvest human souls from killed humanoid enemies. [[AbnormalAmmo You can use it as ammo for your bow and soul launcher.]]
