History YMMV / TheDemonRush

* InherentlyFunnyWords: Several character and item names.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Several characters, but especially Alberto. Mikwuyma commented that the characters are so androgynous, it's like some kind of Music/DavidBowie world.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The currency is called Mez, which you can use to convert a DumpStat to Speed, and there's a character named Brooks Cracktackle. Mikwuyma interpreted these as drug references.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[http://tindeck.com/listen/tmil Inverted.]]

* DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming: You wouldn't expect a game that looks like this to use more than 350 megabytes (450 during the FinalBoss), but somehow, Demon Rush pulls it off.
** There are many unnecessary things found in the Demon Rush process, adding to its already bloated memory footprint: Netscape 2.0, printer support, UsefulNotes/DirectX 8 (when version 9 had been out for years), ''16'' different "sound not found" handlers, and the Hebrew character set.

** See DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming above.

* ClicheStorm: Unintentionally played with. The clichés are there, but they don't connect to form a coherent story.
* EarWorm: [[http://tindeck.com/listen/qbvs The battle music.]]
** A lot of the music is surprisingly catchy, despite not being very good.

** Claire did not change her last name after being adopted by Cook and his wife, out of hope that her bio-parents can locate her one day. Beyond the UnfortunateImplications, if she has no recollection of her origins, ''how did she even know her original name''?

** MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM [[hottip:Explanation: One of the photos the creator used to show off the game had a character named MMMMMMMM. See [[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2913491 this thread's]] second post.]]

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: There's not much variety in the scenery.

* MindScrew: The story can be hard to follow because the game doesn't introduce characters, places or items very well, much of the plot is revealed in exposition rather than on-screen events, and a lot of characters and environments aren't very distinct from one another.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The currency is called Mez, which you can use to convert a DumpStat to Speed, and there's a character named Brooks Cracktackle. Mikwuyma interpreted these as drug references.
* WhoIsThisGuyAgain: It's easy to lose track of all but the most frequently appearing characters.

* ClicheStorm: Played with. The clichés are there, but they don't connect to form a coherent story.

* UglyCute: The Possessor. There was talk of making a plushie of it.

* MindScrew: The story can be hard to follow, because the game doesn't introduce characters, places or items very well, much of the plot is revealed in exposition rather than on-screen events, and a lot of characters and environments aren't very distinct from one another.
* SoBadItsGood: The story is filled with twists that come out of nowhere, loads of expository dialogue and villainous monologues, barrages of proper nouns without adequate introduction, and characters who generally act ridiculous. The whole thing manages to be overdone and at the same time underdone due to poor presentation.
** Mikwuyma laughed for two straight minutes upon first seeing the character portraits. The graphics in general look like something a kid would make in MS Paint.

* MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

* GameBreaker: Cook starts out overleveled, attacks from a distance, and has excellent stat growths overall.
** Extremes.
* DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming: You wouldn't expect a game that looks like this to use more than 350 megabytes (450 during the FinalBoss) but somehow this one pulls it off.

* MemeticMutation: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Mikwuyma admitted that the battle system is tactically engaging and the level-up method is creative and that this could be a good game if more effort were put into it.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Several characters but especially Alberto. Mikwuyma commented that the characters are so androgynous it's like some kind of DavidBowie world.
