In the process of adding details on Version 0.3.0.


* GuestFighter: One of Shoto Kanji’s alternate costumes is Shoto Goto from ''HYPERFIGHT''. A later update is also planned to add Mystery Johnson from VideoGame/{{Schwarzerblitz}} as a playable character, and the Haemophages from that game serve as {{Mooks}} in one of the minigames.

* GuestFighter: Version 0.3.0 mainly serves as a collaboration with VideoGame/{{Schwarzerblitz}}, adding that game's protagonist Mystery Johnson as a full-fledged playable character and its antagonist Donner Misterkay as a secret boss. The Evilobster is also playable, albeit as a MovesetClone of Baron, and Clyde gets an outfit based on Renzo Rubecca (a CallBack to Renzo getting a free DLC outfit based on Clyde). Even before this update, the Haemophages appeared as {{Mooks}} in one of the minigames.

''Duels of Fortune'' is a free-to-play 2.5D fighting game created by Cosmic Hat Games, with its first early access version releasing in August 2022. The game has simple inputs and a wide variety of single player content.

----
!!This game contains examples of:

* ArrangeMode: Mission Mode has a wide variety of matches with unique challenges or conditions, although some of the missions just have you facing an SNKBoss.
* BattleInTheRain: “Acid Rain” is a mission where the fighters will take continuous damage from the titular rain unless they’re under the two umbrellas that move across the map.
* BigHeadMode: An option in the Extras menu.
* ChargeInputSpecial: Unusually for a game with very few motion inputs, Doodle has these for his Molten Doughnut and Fractured Haymaker specials.
* ChristmasEpisode: The Night Before Crimbo has Callowman collecting presents while fending off an angry gingerbread man. Beating it unlocks said gingerbread man as an alternate costume for Doodle, as well as the Crimbo variant of the Meteor Shower Town stage.
* DavidVersusGoliath: The “Giant Battle” mission has Clyde fighting a giant Red.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: Applies to the boss characters, as well as some of the alternate costumes for characters.
* DemBones: Skeletons are quite prominent characters in the game, with two of them, Sir Rattlebone and Captain Shiverskull, being playable characters, and a third, Mr. Withers, serving as an AssistCharacter for Sylvan.
* EveryoneIsASuper: 35 years before the game’s events, a cure to a deadly virus that spread across the globe ended up awakening the souls of humanity, resulting in almost everyone in the present day having a superpower called an “aspect”.
* EvilKnockoff: This is the modus operandi of the id, who can transform into whoever they eat the emotional energy of. The most prominent id is Black Heart, who fed off Clyde’s hatred for his father.
* GravityScrew: The story to the first mission, Zero Gravity, is that the Azu-Corps HQ’s artificial gravity systems were sabotaged, so Clyde must defeat the culprit behind it. In gameplay, the player has to fight an opponent while experiencing a decreased gravitational pull.
* GuestFighter: One of Shoto Kanji’s alternate costumes is Shoto Goto from ''HYPERFIGHT''. A later update is also planned to add Mystery Johnson from VideoGame/{{Schwarzerblitz}} as a playable character, and the Haemophages from that game serve as {{Mooks}} in one of the minigames.
** To some extent of the word “guest”, several characters in the game were lifted from some of co-developer Ben “Toast Hatter” Soars’ previous games.
* HalloweenEpisode: Version 0.0.3 released in late October 2022, featuring several spooky new missions, A Frankenstein-themed costume for Callowman, and a Halloween-themed variant of the Dasteel Workshop stage called the Dasteel Laboratory.
* JokeCharacter: “Reverse Horde” has the player controlling generic skeleton {{Mooks}} to try and defeat Sir Rattlebone. They are all slow, can’t crouch, die really quickly, and have 4-5 attacks each. Luckily, you have five lives to beat Rattlebone.
** As for actual characters, Guy was added in Version 0.1.0 to serve as one of these, although he’s still leagues above the aforementioned mooks.
* MovesetClone: Several characters, such as Shin and Ricky Travis, exist exclusively as alternate skins for existing characters.
* NonStandardGameOver: Doing nothing for around 25 seconds as Doodle will cause him to get bored and leave. Notably, this causes the big “KO” or “Time Up” at the end of a match to be replaced with the message “Where did he go...?”, with the victory icon being a hand FlippingTheBird.
* NotJustATournament: Sylvan started the titular tournament as part of an elaborate money-making scheme, and it’s implied that his intentions run deeper than that.
* PlatformFighter: The name of one of the missions, where there are platforms scattered across the stage.
* SecretCharacter: ERROR can be played as if you hold Start while over the Random option. Additionally, you can unlock the various boss characters by beating them.
* SNKBoss: There are a lot of these, with not only designated boss characters, but a “Boss Mode” for each character that further buffs them. In addition, setting the AI difficulty level to Insane causes their animations to play twice as fast, making many moves impossible to see coming.
* SoulPower: Aspects are basically this. Red’s Soul Force deserves special mention for letting him manifest his soul as physical shapes.
* SuperMode: Several characters have one of these, such as Doodle’s Ultimate Mode, Rattlebone’s Chivalrous Spirit, and Sylvan’s Full House Mode.
