''Demon Hunter: Return of the Wings'' (데몬헌터) is a mobile {{Metroidvania}} developed by [=BiCore=] for [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS]] and [[UsefulNotes/AndroidGames Android]], released in Korea on April 28, 2009 and internationally on April 28, 2011.
The story follows Gun (Geon), a seemingly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who [[TrappedInAnotherWorld has been taken away]] from Taros International High to the dimension Akoron by a demon Greed (Grid). According to Greed, Gun is a native of this world and is one of the "winged people". Greed gets chased off by Perna Perlai, but not before telling Gun to find him if he wants answers. Gun reluctantly joins Perna's [[CreatureHunterOrganization Dubaq clan of demon hunters]], hoping to find a way home.
In 2015 [=BiCore=] got defunct, which is [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes significant]] for two reasons. The game needs one-time connection with the server when the player starts a New Game, so without a barely save file the game is unplayable. It was also before the Android's kernel update, so the game crashes on modern phones. The game has since been fan-modded to work on Android even without the network features.
----
!! ''Demon Hunter: Return of the Wings'' provides examples of:
* TwentyBearAsses: A lot of quests involve getting a certain amount of monster material that is dropped separately from the usual loot while the quest is active.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The Kamael region is an underground ruin filled with canals, tunnels and waterfalls.
* AccidentalPervert: When Gun and Perna fall into the Cave of Darkness, with Gun still being unconscious, Perna takes an opportunity to take a bath. Shortly Gun discovers her in a ModestyTowel, and she remains bitter for the entire chapter, especially since he notices her hiding her injuries.
* TheAce: Emil is recognized everywhere as one of the best hunters, has the appropriate confidence, and wears CoolShades all the time.
* ActionBomb: Totu are dynamite-wearing dwarfs who explode shortly after getting close to Gun. There are similar suicidal enemies with an entire barrel of explosives.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Gun and enemies inexplicably swap hands depending on which direction they're facing.
* AmnesiacHero: According to Greed, Gun doesn't know his past and his childhood is indeed ambiguous. [[spoiler:It's later revealed by Greed that Gun is also an AmnesiacGod and the subject of demons' worship.]]
* AntiVillain: Near the end of the game it turns out [[spoiler:Greed is acting on behalf of demonkind, who are victims of a FantasticNuke and are reasonably not happy with Talagaron getting away with it.]]
* AxCrazy: Jabra is a Naru hunter with a short fuse and drops whatever he's doing to fight to the death the last person who has bothered him, enemy or ally alike, then gets bored just as quickly.
* BigBrotherWorship: Perna looks up to her brother Elen, who is considered TheAce among all hunters, even better than Emil.
* BleakBorderBase: Dubaq's hideout and the Kamael region are said to be located at the edge of Akoron and Kamael has the weakest monsters. It's also where the plot starts.
* BrokenBridge: Portals to other areas and some doors are closed off until the rest of the story quests are done.
* CassandraTruth: By the time Greed stops messing around, Gun goes into full denial becuase he can't trust demons anymore. Unfortunately, Greed is shown to be sincere at least with most his exposition.
* ChainmailBikini: Perna's "armor" cover the sides and the shoulders, but everything else is almost completely bare.
* {{Combos}}: Attacking enemies consequently slowly increases damage until the player is hit or stops attacking. Gun attacks don't stack up.
* ColorCodedItemTiers: Equipment is marked in white, blue, yellow, gold, and purple, depending on its rarity.
* ComicallySerious: Gun isn't used to other hunters' antics and makes an awkward face when they joke at his expense and later starts making his annoyance known through snark.
* ContinuingIsPainful: Dying lets you resurrect at the cost of 20% EXP and gold, as well as reducing your physical attack and defense to almost nothing for 5 minutes. Getting to the base removes the debuff, but you have to escape the dungeon first. Spending PremiumCurrency lets you resurrect with no penalty.
* CycleOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Elen's idea of avenging his mother is punishing whoever he feels responsible with a FantasticNuke, which was used in the previous war. Perna calls out that he's just going to continue the suffering.]]
* DamageOverTime: Poison and Wound effects give damage at regular intervals, and almost everything in forest areas is poisonous.
* DamselInDistress: In the [[spoiler:5th chapter, Perna]] is taken hostage and then is also kidnapped, so Gun has to go after her. [[spoiler:And after the FinalBoss Perna goes missing.]]
* DashAttack: Attacking while dashing uses a piercing animation.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: [[spoiler:Elen initially spares Perna so she would join him in the new world, but]] after a couple of warnings he tries to attack her for real.
* DoppelgangerAttack: [[spoiler:Buru's "secret ability" is]] having two weaker copies of itself [[TurnsRed joining in during the second phase]].
* DoYouWantToHaggle: One quest ends in the same dialogue that starts it if you have 3 Phaladume ore. Leus offers 3500 Rand and Gun asks for 4000. When Leus says 3600, Gun picks 3500, Leus says 3700 and Gun closes right before Leus realizes he screwed up the haggle.
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Gun has visions about himself fighting in Akoron before Greed, who was also present in his dreams, takes him there and hints at missing memories.
* DualBoss: Kira and Kiba fight together. Aside from both of them being a MovesetClone of Gun's two classes, they have a unique CombinationAttack and [[spoiler:fully revive each other if not defeated at the same time]].
* DubNameChange: Hotsan is called Jacob in the original Korean.
* DualWielding: Bormenta has three different swords, but wields up to two at once.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Water beats fire, fire beats light, and light beats water, with 130% and 70% efficiency for attack and defense respectively. All three beat non-element with 110% to 90%.
* EquipmentUpgrade: Items can be Enchanced to increase their tier and stats, but at a risk of not only reducing the tier down, but, without PremiumCurrency, also at a chance of destroying it. And the game also auto-saves while at it.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Greed]] gets surprizingly aggressive when talking about the deaths of his people.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: The Tower of Sin, if the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast name wasn't scary enough]], collects the energy of Akoron and can be used as a weapon.
* ExplosiveStupidity: Lideal tries to scare Gun with an explosive mine, but it fails to trigger, so he checks it personaly. An explosion can be heard the moment Gun leaves the area and returning right away shows a loot dropped.
* FallenHero:
** Kiba and Kira were a piar of the best hunters, but to the surprize of others, have sided with Greed to find a exciting life.
** [[spoiler:Elen]] reveals himself to be in cahoots with demons for quite some time.
* FamilyOfChoice: Since Gun doesn't have anyone else, after the third chapter Gun starts thinking of Dubaq clan as his siblings.
* FantasticNuke: In the past [[spoiler:Talagarons have used the Tower of Sin against Greed's country]], inflicting all residents and animals who have surived with the {{Curse}} that made them hideous [[spoiler:and immortal]].
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: The Inferno region lives up to its name, being entirely filled with brimstone and fiery pits.
* ForcedLevelGrinding: The end-game contains almost no side-quests, yet enemies a several levels higher in each area, so you have to find a room to spend a few hours in if you want to do any damage to bosses.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Tower of Sin is decorated with [[spoiler:portraits of Hanin, Elen's OneWingedAngel form.]]
* FunnyAfro: Emil is a weird hunter who is proud of his afro and thinks Gun will never be cool without one.
* GhostlyGape: Lideal's eyes and mouth are wide and hollow, fitting for a harlequin demon.
* GiantSpider: Buru is a sentient spider demon who uses its web to swing in and out of the boss room.
* GISSyndrome: For no reason in particular, the top of the Tower of Sin uses Earth's moon as the background despite being in another world.
* TheGoomba: The first enemies in the game are level 1 slimes.
* GuideDangIt:
** One of the Relics of Treasure King is located on a platform outside of double-jump's reach. The game doesn't give anything that would help getting it, but you can reset your jump by using any skill mid-air with precise timing, and it's unkown if it's a glitch.
** One of the hunting quest monsters, Race, spawns outside of the map and is initially invisible. You have to stand in a very specific spot in Distia to aggro him out.
* HailfirePeaks: Distia region is split between adjacent upper [[LethalLavaLand flame area]] (same tileset as Inferno) and the lower [[SlippySlideyIceWorld snow area]]. It is described as the land of chaos.
* HarmlessVillain: Lideal is Greed's subordinate who threatens Gun, but trips and dies several times before he can even do anything.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: According to Greed, [[spoiler:Gun is the AmnesiacGod of Akoron, or specifically of the nation where demons came from, but was rather [[TheGodsMustBeLazy neglectful of the world's problems]] and then for unknown reasons fled to Earth and erased his memories. Greed assumed that taking Gun back would shake up his memories, but seeing no progress he declares that Gun has abandoned his people and that Elen should take his place]].
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Your reward for beating [[spoiler:Greed the first time is him]] stabbing you and escaping.
* HealingPotion: Gun can buy or craft different tiers of health or mana potions and assign them to the toolbar. There are also potions that refill both or remove debuffs.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Greed's motives are one of the biggest mysteries, as he keeps pausing his hide-and-seek game to give Gun hints on what to do next, which results in defeat of other demons, while also being an UnreliableExpositor.
* HubLevel: The Dubaq base is conveniently placed in the middle of world map and connects to several regions.
* HumansAreBastards: Greed comments that he finds it intriguing how on Earth, unlike in Akoron, humans reguarly kill each other and the best destroyers are regarded as heroes.
* ImAHumanitarian: Buru desires the taste of human meat, especially Perna's, after feeding himself with Varians for quite some time.
* INeedYouStronger: Greed sets up a "hide and seek" game for Gun and waits until he goes through the story missions. Greed even shows up a few times to give Gun hints on how to progress. The reason for this is that [[spoiler:as the wielder of God's Wing, Gun is the only one who can take the key to the Tower of Sin from Bormenta, [[MacGuffinDeliveryService which gets promptly stolen by Kira and Kiba]], and said Tower also can't activate without him]].
* InsufferableGenius: Dayl often complains how nobody gives enough respect to a scientist like him. Davichi similarly complains that hunters are only good for killings and he shows no respect to Gun.
* InterfaceSpoiler:
** Buru opts to not reveal its name and it's mentioned in-story later... despite it being shown in the dialogue box and the quest's info.
** Gun doesn't learn who Elen is until very much later despite the game showing his name in his first appearance.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The last level, the Tower of Sin, is mostly vertical, and the FinalBoss is confronted on the wide-open top floor.
* ItemCrafting: Gun can get a large variety of recepies, mainly for the equipment that can't be purchased, which can be crafted at any time in exchange for monster loot.
* JungleJapes: Stigia is the forest level full of poisonous wildlife.
* JobSystem: There are three skill trees for sword, guns, and magic. Gun's class and special attack change according to which tree has the most points allocated to. Each class also applies different penalties to some stats.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Dayl is a rare scientist in a fantasy setting, and he wears googles and a labcoat. His Naru's counterpart Davichi also wears a similar labcoat.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Chu's ghost asks Gun to tell everyone he quit and went looking for his girlfriend, instead of being killed in action]]. Gun honors it.
* LastSecondEndingChoice: [[spoiler:At the ending you are abruptly given a choice to look for Perna. If you say no, the game quits to the main menu and you have to redo the FinalBoss. Saying yes unlocks a new difficulty mode.]]
* LevelUpFillUp: Leveling up refills the health and mana bars, and also knocks back nearby enemies.
* LimitBreak: [[spoiler:The Wing of Cracked Time]] has an invisible progress bar that accumulates when Gun recieves damage. It temporarily makes Gun invulnerable and [[BulletTime enemies considerably slower]], allowing Gun to either obliterate them or flee.
* MadBomber: Liam is known as the Bombing Demon, for his attitude and use of machines that could wipe out the entire Gehena is not deactivated.
* MascotMook: A Varian has a full artwork and is featured in the game cover despite being the second weakest mook in the game.
* MacGuffinDeliveryService: Demons can't enter the holy center of Distia, so Perna is taken hostage and Gun has to break in and [[spoiler:take the key to the Tower of Sin from its guardian]].
* MercyInvincibility: Most enemies flash and are temporarily immune to damage after being knocked out.
* MistakenForGay: When Gun looks impressed at Emil shrugging off [[spoiler:Jabra's daggers]], Emil feels the need to remind him that he's into girls.
* MonsterClown: Greed and Lideal are clown demons. Their subordinates Kiba and Kira also wear clown masks.
* MookMaker: Evil Kara is a flying demon that spawns other demons. It first appears during the Liam fight as an invulnarable hazard before being available in a hunting quest.
* MotiveRant: Greed's fight in Marlborose is proceeded by several minutes of him monologuing about his plans and his feelings about Gun.
* MysteriousParent: Gun has no memories of his family, implying that he's been living alone. Which makes Greed's statement that he's not from Earth more plausable.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:Elen]] seeks god-like power becuase [[spoiler:his powers weren't enough to prevent his mother's murder]].
* NighInvulnerability:
** Laba and Glashire cannot be harmed without a buff by a specific potion.
** Bormenta can't be harmed until the three elemental pillars are destroyed.
* NewsTravelsFast: No matter what mythical area Gun unlocks, the [=NPCs=] immediatelly want him to [[TwentyBearAsses take care of specific monsters]] there for personal reasons. For Distia sidequests when Gun [[LampshadeHanging asks how do they know it]] they just reply that news go fast.
* NoEnding: After beating the FinalBoss, [[spoiler:Greed sends Gun back to Earth, while expecting him to find him again, followed by Gun immediately jumping back to find Perna]]. The game effectively unlocks a new difficulty mode and it's implied the proper resolution wasn't added in before the comapny got defunct.
* NoticeThis: There are two spots that emit sparkles and can't be interacted with until the specific story quests.
* ObviouslyEvil: Greed has a red costume, a wrinkled pale face and AbsurdlySharpClaws. Gun has a late realization that he's not going to answer his questions and is actually dangerous.
* OneWingedAngel: After the confrontation, the FinalBoss [[spoiler:Elen]] in despeartion transforms into a [[spoiler:dark-skinned angel Hanin]].
* OnlySixFaces: All Talagaron hunters look identical.
* OrphanedReference: The tutorial mentions numbered keys, implying the game was initially designed with [=JavaME=] cellphones in mind, and there existing a screenshot showing such interface.
* PlayerHeadquarters: Base of Dubaq is where all the early [=NPCs=] are, and progressing through story unlocks other bases. Being there also heals you over time.
* PostEndGameContent: Clearing the FinalBoss [[spoiler:prompts Gun to find a way to save Perna]], which unlocks a two-way portal to the Hell Mode where every monster gets stronger by 65 levels. This also contains three {{Superboss}}es that are level 105.
* PremiumCurrency: Cubics are mythical metals that can only be obtained through online shopsand certain achievements, and are used to get some game bonuses.
* ProtectionMission: An early mission in Infenro requires Gun to defend Dayl from waves of level 1 Varians until he finishes analyzing the firewall.

** [[spoiler:Perna blames Greed for killing her parents, while Elen blames Talagarons. Greed also claims it was the Talagarons who have started the war, but he's not known for being trustworthy. So, not much about Talagarons is known aside them being the best hunters and having the unseen royalty.]]

''Demon Hunter: Return of the Wings'' (데몬헌터) is a mobile {{Metroidvania}} developed by [=BiCore=] for [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS]] and [[UsefulNotes/AndroidGames Android]], released in Korea on April 28, 2009 and internationally on April 28, 2011.
The story follows Gun (Geon), a seemingly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who [[TrappedInAnotherWorld has been taken away]] from Taros International High to the dimension Akoron by a demon Greed (Grid). According to Greed, Gun is a native of this world and is one of the "winged people". Greed gets chased off by Perna Perlai, but not before telling Gun to find him if he wants answers. Gun reluctantly joins Perna's [[CreatureHunterOrganization Dubaq clan of demon hunters]], hoping to find a way home.
In 2015 [=BiCore=] got defunct, which is [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes significant]] for two reasons. The game needs one-time connection with the server when the player starts a New Game, so without a barely save file the game is unplayable. It was also before the Android's kernel update, so the game crashes on modern phones. The game has since been fan-modded to work on Android even without the network features.
----
!! ''Demon Hunter: Return of the Wings'' provides examples of:
* TwentyBearAsses: A lot of quests involve getting a certain amount of monster material that is dropped separately from the usual loot while the quest is active.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The Kamael region is an underground ruin filled with canals, tunnels and waterfalls.
* AccidentalPervert: When Gun and Perna fall into the Cave of Darkness, with Gun still being unconscious, Perna takes an opportunity to take a bath. Shortly Gun discovers her in a ModestyTowel, and she remains bitter for the entire chapter, especially since he notices her hiding her injuries.
* TheAce: Emil is recognized everywhere as one of the best hunters, has the appropriate confidence, and wears CoolShades all the time.
* ActionBomb: Totu are dynamite-wearing dwarfs who explode shortly after getting close to Gun. There are similar suicidal enemies with an entire barrel of explosives.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Gun and enemies inexplicably swap hands depending on which direction they're facing.
* AmnesiacHero: According to Greed, Gun doesn't know his past and his childhood is indeed ambiguous. [[spoiler:It's later revealed by Greed that Gun is also an AmnesiacGod and the subject of demons' worship.]]
* AntiVillain: Near the end of the game it turns out [[spoiler:Greed is acting on behalf of demonkind, who are victims of a FantasticNuke and are reasonably not happy with Talagaron getting away with it.]]
* AxCrazy: Jabra is a Naru hunter with a short fuse and drops whatever he's doing to fight to the death the last person who has bothered him, enemy or ally alike, then gets bored just as quickly.
* BigBrotherWorship: Perna looks up to her brother Elen, who is considered TheAce among all hunters, even better than Emil.
* BleakBorderBase: Dubaq's hideout and the Kamael region are said to be located at the edge of Akoron and Kamael has the weakest monsters. It's also where the plot starts.
* BrokenBridge: Portals to other areas and some doors are closed off until the rest of the story quests are done.
* CassandraTruth: By the time Greed stops messing around, Gun goes into full denial becuase he can't trust demons anymore. Unfortunately, Greed is shown to be sincere at least with most his exposition.
* ChainmailBikini: Perna's "armor" cover the sides and the shoulders, but everything else is almost completely bare.
* {{Combos}}: Attacking enemies consequently slowly increases damage until the player is hit or stops attacking. Gun attacks don't stack up.
* ColorCodedItemTiers: Equipment is marked in white, blue, yellow, gold, and purple, depending on its rarity.
* ComicallySerious: Gun isn't used to other hunters' antics and makes an awkward face when they joke at his expense and later starts making his annoyance known through snark.
* ContinuingIsPainful: Dying lets you resurrect at the cost of 20% EXP and gold, as well as reducing your physical attack and defense to almost nothing for 5 minutes. Getting to the base removes the debuff, but you have to escape the dungeon first. Spending PremiumCurrency lets you resurrect with no penalty.
* CycleOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Elen's idea of avenging his mother is punishing whoever he feels responsible with a FantasticNuke, which was used in the previous war. Perna calls out that he's just going to continue the suffering.]]
* DamageOverTime: Poison and Wound effects give damage at regular intervals, and almost everything in forest areas is poisonous.
* DamselInDistress: In the [[spoiler:5th chapter, Perna]] is taken hostage and then is also kidnapped, so Gun has to go after her. [[spoiler:And after the FinalBoss Perna goes missing.]]
* DashAttack: Attacking while dashing uses a piercing animation.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: [[spoiler:Elen initially spares Perna so she would join him in the new world, but]] after a couple of warnings he tries to attack her for real.
* DoppelgangerAttack: [[spoiler:Buru's "secret ability" is]] having two weaker copies of itself [[TurnsRed joining in during the second phase]].
* DoYouWantToHaggle: One quest ends in the same dialogue that starts it if you have 3 Phaladume ore. Leus offers 3500 Rand and Gun asks for 4000. When Leus says 3600, Gun picks 3500, Leus says 3700 and Gun closes right before Leus realizes he screwed up the haggle.
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Gun has visions about himself fighting in Akoron before Greed, who was also present in his dreams, takes him there and hints at missing memories.
* DualBoss: Kira and Kiba fight together. Aside from both of them being a MovesetClone of Gun's two classes, they have a unique CombinationAttack and [[spoiler:fully revive each other if not defeated at the same time]].
* DubNameChange: Hotsan is called Jacob in the original Korean.
* DualWielding: Bormenta has three different swords, but wields up to two at once.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Water beats fire, fire beats light, and light beats water, with 130% and 70% efficiency for attack and defense respectively. All three beat non-element with 110% to 90%.
* EquipmentUpgrade: Items can be Enchanced to increase their tier and stats, but at a risk of not only reducing the tier down, but, without PremiumCurrency, also at a chance of destroying it. And the game also auto-saves while at it.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Greed]] gets surprizingly aggressive when talking about the deaths of his people.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: The Tower of Sin, if the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast name wasn't scary enough]], collects the energy of Akoron and can be used as a weapon.
* ExplosiveStupidity: Lideal tries to scare Gun with an explosive mine, but it fails to trigger, so he checks it personaly. An explosion can be heard the moment Gun leaves the area and returning right away shows a loot dropped.
* FallenHero:
** Kiba and Kira were a piar of the best hunters, but to the surprize of others, have sided with Greed to find a exciting life.
** [[spoiler:Elen]] reveals himself to be in cahoots with demons for quite some time.
* FamilyOfChoice: Since Gun doesn't have anyone else, after the third chapter Gun starts thinking of Dubaq clan as his siblings.
* FantasticNuke: In the past [[spoiler:Talagarons have used the Tower of Sin against Greed's country]], inflicting all residents and animals who have surived with the {{Curse}} that made them hideous [[spoiler:and immortal]].
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: The Inferno region lives up to its name, being entirely filled with brimstone and fiery pits.
* ForcedLevelGrinding: The end-game contains almost no side-quests, yet enemies a several levels higher in each area, so you have to find a room to spend a few hours in if you want to do any damage to bosses.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Tower of Sin is decorated with [[spoiler:portraits of Hanin, Elen's OneWingedAngel form.]]
* FunnyAfro: Emil is a weird hunter who is proud of his afro and thinks Gun will never be cool without one.
* GhostlyGape: Lideal's eyes and mouth are wide and hollow, fitting for a harlequin demon.
* GiantSpider: Buru is a sentient spider demon who uses its web to swing in and out of the boss room.
* GISSyndrome: For no reason in particular, the top of the Tower of Sin uses Earth's moon as the background despite being in another world.
* TheGoomba: The first enemies in the game are level 1 slimes.
* GuideDangIt:
** One of the Relics of Treasure King is located on a platform outside of double-jump's reach. The game doesn't give anything that would help getting it, but you can reset your jump by using any skill mid-air with precise timing, and it's unkown if it's a glitch.
** One of the hunting quest monsters, Race, spawns outside of the map and is initially invisible. You have to stand in a very specific spot in Distia to aggro him out.
* HailfirePeaks: Distia region is split between adjacent upper [[LethalLavaLand flame area]] (same tileset as Inferno) and the lower [[SlippySlideyIceWorld snow area]]. It is described as the land of chaos.
* HarmlessVillain: Lideal is Greed's subordinate who threatens Gun, but trips and dies several times before he can even do anything.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: According to Greed, [[spoiler:Gun is the AmnesiacGod of Akoron, or specifically of the nation where demons came from, but was rather [[TheGodsMustBeLazy neglectful of the world's problems]] and then for unknown reasons fled to Earth and erased his memories. Greed assumed that taking Gun back would shake up his memories, but seeing no progress he declares that Gun has abandoned his people and that Elen should take his place]].
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Your reward for beating [[spoiler:Greed the first time is him]] stabbing you and escaping.
* HealingPotion: Gun can buy or craft different tiers of health or mana potions and assign them to the toolbar. There are also potions that refill both or remove debuffs.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Greed's motives are one of the biggest mysteries, as he keeps pausing his hide-and-seek game to give Gun hints on what to do next, which results in defeat of other demons, while also being an UnreliableExpositor.
* HubLevel: The Dubaq base is conveniently placed in the middle of world map and connects to several regions.
* HumansAreBastards: Greed comments that he finds it intriguing how on Earth, unlike in Akoron, humans reguarly kill each other and the best destroyers are regarded as heroes.
* ImAHumanitarian: Buru desires the taste of human meat, especially Perna's, after feeding himself with Varians for quite some time.
* INeedYouStronger: Greed sets up a "hide and seek" game for Gun and waits until he goes through the story missions. Greed even shows up a few times to give Gun hints on how to progress. The reason for this is that [[spoiler:as the wielder of God's Wing, Gun is the only one who can take the key to the Tower of Sin from Bormenta, [[MacGuffinDeliveryService which gets promptly stolen by Kira and Kiba]], and said Tower also can't activate without him]].
* InsufferableGenius: Dayl often complains how nobody gives enough respect to a scientist like him. Davichi similarly complains that hunters are only good for killings and he shows no respect to Gun.
* InterfaceSpoiler:
** Buru opts to not reveal its name and it's mentioned in-story later... despite it being shown in the dialogue box and the quest's info.
** Gun doesn't learn who Elen is until very much later despite the game showing his name in his first appearance.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The last level, the Tower of Sin, is mostly vertical, and the FinalBoss is confronted on the wide-open top floor.
* ItemCrafting: Gun can get a large variety of recepies, mainly for the equipment that can't be purchased, which can be crafted at any time in exchange for monster loot.
* JungleJapes: Stigia is the forest level full of poisonous wildlife.
* JobSystem: There are three skill trees for sword, guns, and magic. Gun's class and special attack change according to which tree has the most points allocated to. Each class also applies different penalties to some stats.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Dayl is a rare scientist in a fantasy setting, and he wears googles and a labcoat. His Naru's counterpart Davichi also wears a similar labcoat.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Chu's ghost asks Gun to tell everyone he quit and went looking for his girlfriend, instead of being killed in action]]. Gun honors it.
* LastSecondEndingChoice: [[spoiler:At the ending you are abruptly given a choice to look for Perna. If you say no, the game quits to the main menu and you have to redo the FinalBoss. Saying yes unlocks a new difficulty mode.]]
* LevelUpFillUp: Leveling up refills the health and mana bars, and also knocks back nearby enemies.
* LimitBreak: [[spoiler:The Wing of Cracked Time]] has an invisible progress bar that accumulates when Gun recieves damage. It temporarily makes Gun invulnerable and [[BulletTime enemies considerably slower]], allowing Gun to either obliterate them or flee.
* MadBomber: Liam is known as the Bombing Demon, for his attitude and use of machines that could wipe out the entire Gehena is not deactivated.
* MascotMook: A Varian has a full artwork and is featured in the game cover despite being the second weakest mook in the game.

* MotiveRant: Greed's fight in Marlborose is proceeded by several minutes of him monologuing about his plans and his feelings about Gun.
* MysteriousParent: Gun has no memories of his family, implying that he's been living alone. Which makes Greed's statement that he's not from Earth more plausable.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:Elen]] seeks god-like power becuase [[spoiler:his powers weren't enough to prevent his mother's murder]].
* NighInvulnerability:
** Laba and Glashire cannot be harmed without a buff by a specific potion.
** Bormenta can't be harmed until the three elemental pillars are destroyed.
* NewsTravelsFast: No matter what mythical area Gun unlocks, the [=NPCs=] immediatelly want him to [[TwentyBearAsses take care of specific monsters]] there for personal reasons. For Distia sidequests when Gun [[LampshadeHanging asks how do they know it]] they just reply that news go fast.
* NoEnding: After beating the FinalBoss, [[spoiler:Greed sends Gun back to Earth, while expecting him to find him again, followed by Gun immediately jumping back to find Perna]]. The game effectively unlocks a new difficulty mode and it's implied the proper resolution wasn't added in before the comapny got defunct.
* NoticeThis: There are two spots that emit sparkles and can't be interacted with until the specific story quests.
* ObviouslyEvil: Greed has a red costume, a wrinkled pale face and AbsurdlySharpClaws. Gun has a late realization that he's not going to answer his questions and is actually dangerous.
