3	"In a bar in the very near future", a [[TestosteronePoisoning man among men]] is drinking some beer when suddenly, the TV displays news that the world is being attacked by aliens, zombies and robots at the same time! With the Earth in desperate need of a savior, our hero remembers his tattoo depicting a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot robot-alien-zombie thing]] and, probably under heavy influence of beer, takes it for a prophecy of the fact that he is the one fated to stop these threats. [[ExcusePlot So he grabs the nearest]] [[CrowbarCombatant crowbar]] [[ExcusePlot and goes forth to kick some zombie, alien and machine ass.]] Can he stop the zombie invasion at the aptly named [[WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt Dead Gulch]], repel the aliens infesting {{Area 51}} and destroy the killer robots ruling past and future with an iron fist, all at once?

5	''Armed Prophet'' is a BeatEmUp brawler Flash game, programmed by Seething Swarm, with art by Kostas Skiftas (Valerofond) and music by Harry Partridge. The game can be found [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/518310 here]]. As you can probably already tell by the description, it contains quite a fair bit of humor. If you like brawlers, the game is warmly recommended.

7	!!The game contains examples of:
8	* ActionBomb: Smileborg summons little critters that explode (slowly) when they get close to you.
9	* AlienInvasion: One of the stages, set in {{Area 51}}.
10	* BreathWeapon: Zomg exhales huge lasers.
11	* CrosshairAware: A shadow appears on the spot where Zomboss will land after a super jump.
12	* CrowbarCombatant: A crowbar is your starting weapon.
13	* DeflectorShields: The Cyberblade you get from Smileborg has this for a LimitBreak.
14	* DualWielding: Smileborg uses two razor blades. The alien melee mooks also use dual blades.
15	* EasyModeMockery: The easy mode is named "Little Girl". The description reads, "Be gentle, it's my first time!"
16	** NumericalHard: "Real Man" difficulty just adds a ton of health to the enemies while halving yours.
17	* EverythingIsAniPodInTheFuture: The Robots
18	* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: One of the stages.
19	* FlyingSaucer: For aliens. Saucers drop bombs, you can hit them only by jumping, and they may spawn an alien melee mook when they die.
20	* FrankensteinsMonster: Zomboss evokes one with its stitches.
21	* TheGreys: They could be expected in such a game, but [[AvertedTrope averted]] instead - the aliens are blue and have vaguely crocodilian faces.
22	* KillerRabbit: The robots have monitors displaying happy smiling faces while they tear you apart. Possibly to parody those annoying smiley advertisements.
23	* KingMook: All of them to some extent, but Zomg most of them, as he looks almost exactly like the rest of his kin, except that he's [[LargeAndInCharge HUGE compared to them]] and wields a big spear.
24	* LimitBreak: The powerful special abilities of the weapons, useable once you've beaten enemies hard enough.
25	* MeaningfulName: Zomboss is, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a zombie boss]]. Smileborg is a robot (cyborg?) that smiles.
26	* PunnyName: It's not even a pun, Zomg's name is literally the internet corruption of the acronym "OMG" meaning "oh my God". And guess what the achievement for killing him is named?
27	* QuadDamage: The LimitBreak from the Arm of Zomboss powers up your attacks immensely.
28	* RobotWar: The robots from the future are invading the present.
29	* SetAMookToKillAMook: You can and '''should''' use your superior mobility to get the enemies to hit each other with their attacks. This is particularly important in the Robot stage, where two of the three enemy types have long-reach attacks that can easily devastate both you and their own allies. The Alien saucers are immune to their own bombs, but they can do a number on their grounded allies.
30	* ShadowOfImpendingDoom: A shadow marks the spot where Zomboss will land after his massive jump.
31	* ShockAndAwe: The crowbar's LimitBreak is a lightning storm that [[SmartBomb kills all books onscreen]] and deals heavy damage even to bosses.
32	* SomeKindOfForceField: The powerup you get from the Smileborg's blade.
33	* SpinAttack: One of Zomg's signature attacks.
34	* TestosteronePoisoning: The main character is a tatooed manly man. The Hard Mode in this game is called "Real Man" with this description: [[ChewBubblegum "I like beer and breaking spines."]]
35	* WaveMotionGun: The Alienator's LimitBreak allows you to fire giant red beams. Also, Zomg's breath and Smileborg's laser.
