6!!''Excalibur 2555 A.D.'' provides examples of the following tropes:
7* ActionGirl: Beth is the protagonist, kicking ass with a sword or magic.
8* BigBad: Delavar.
9* BlindIdiotTranslation: Infamously, the French dub has the first NPC, Trador, introduce himself by awkwardly saying ''"Nom Trador"'' ("Name Trador"). His original line was ''"The name's Trador"''.
10* ContinueYourMissionDammit: If you stay still and do nothing for too long, Beth becomes angry and breaks the 4th wall to tell you to move it.
11* KnuckleTattoos: The raiders who steal Excalibur have the word "HATE" printed on their knuckles.
12* SequelHook: The good news is that Beth got Excalibur and uses the time machine to head back. The bad news is that she has apparently ended up in a different time and/or place. Hmm....
13* TennisBoss: To beat Delavar, just hit the projectiles with your broadsword and send them right back at him.
