This game contains examples of:
- Action Bomb: Some Gyakki looks like floating tumors and will explode with violence if approached.
- An Axe to Grind: Yang Yuan's weapon, despite her slender look, is a pretty large axe with a long pole.
- Back from the Dead: Yang Yuan.
- Big Bad: Meng Wei. Alias, Yan De.
- "Blind Idiot" Translation: The whole game is largely guilty of this.
- Boobs of Steel: Yang Yuan has the largest pair of breasts of all the female characters in game, and is also the strongest in battle.
- Bullet Time: Or rather, Sword Time: when you lock on an enemy, a green circle will appear. Hitting enemies when the circle turns red will initiate the Sword Time, with Lei becoming able to land a few really damaging hits on the nearby foes... though sometimes is hard to use.
- Cool Sword: The Three Swords of Yi, plus the Awakening Sword:
- Sinister Scimitar: Blue Dragon, a blue Da dao which boosts the Sword Time damage and utility.
- BFS: Raging Tiger, a huge and thick Jian which boost Strength.
- Double Weapon: Flaming Phoenix, a double bladed sword perfect for aerial combat.
- Damage-Sponge Boss: All the bosses, which is why you need to Master the Sword Time and the mastery of enemy's weapons, in order to deal better damage.
- Damsel in Distress: Xiao.
- Degraded Boss: The very first boss is a giant Gyakki wielding a club. They reappear later as common Elite Mook.
- Evil Laugh: Yang during her Boss Battle.
- Flash Step: Dodging attacks and dashing may result in this.
- Flechette Storm: Flaming Phoenix' Dragon Magic results in a volley of homing fiery feathers.
- Ground Pound: Raging Tiger's magic.
- I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Yang's outfit is very skimpy, but to really top it all, her breast bands, while unrevealing, are black with a noticeable golden design on them.
- In a Single Bound: Lei Yun can jump pretty far and even double jump if required.
- Legions of Hell: The Gyakki.
- Lethal Lava Land: The caverns before Raging Tiger's temple.
- Morph Weapon: In order to improve your attacks you can pick up weapons from the fallen monsters and transfer the spirit of the Swords of Yi inside them. As a result, they'll be identical to the swords but with better statistics.
- Ninja: Some of the enemies.
- One-Winged Angel: Yang Yuan will turn into a massive Spider Person after her defeat. Unlike many other examples, the battle is divided in two different stages.
- Our Demons Are Different
- Our Dragons Are Different: The second boss is a western-style demonic dragon... who apparently was one of Lei Yun's former friends turned into a monster by Yang Yuan.
- Razor Wind: Blue Dragon's magic.
- The Reveal: Meng Wei is actually Yan De.
- Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: The main hero is fully dressed as a warrior. Xiao wears a rather chaste priestess outfit. Yang Yuan, on the other hand, has clothes only on her legs, groin and boobs.
- Temple of Doom: Most of the second part of the game is inside one.
- Unusable Enemy Equipment: Averted, you can pick up enemy weapons and turns them in one of the Swords of Yi... now with better statistics, butt less durability.
- The Worf Effect: In a cutscene, Yan De and Xiao manage to wipe out several demons without effort. Then Yang Yuan arrives, knocks Yan De out with a shockwave and dominates Xiao... by simply grabbing her. That's right, being grabbed by a half-naked demoness will make your demon-repelling skills useless.
- Wutai: The setting seems to be chinese, and yet, japanese-sounding words like Gyakki and dojo are heard.
