* ExponentialPotential: ItemCrafting ingredients belong to classes (e.g. Plant, Animal, Ore, Secret Power), and have Traits (e.g. Quality Up, Critical, Speed. There are dozens more). Ingredients can belong to more than one class (e.g. animal fur belongs to Animal and Thread) and can have up to three Traits. Traits come in different strengths and can be combined to form more powerful versions of those Traits. You can craft your first and second level ingredients to make higher level items with greatly varying attributes (e.g. a metal with high attack powers for making weapons, and the same metal with high defence powers for making armour). The whole process is not conceptually hard, but if you want to take full advantage of it, then you'll probably need to keep a pen and paper handy to keep track of everything.

* UnwinnableByMistake: The BonusBoss Tormented Beast can be this. Tormented Beast has a very high HealingFactor, but cannot kill the entire party in one round. If the party have strong resurrection items it is possible to get stuck in a loop where the boss cannot kill the party, but the party cannot harm the boss faster than he heals himself. You cannot run away from boss fights, so the only way out is to force close the game. Hint: level up your weapons first.
