* SaveScumming: Averted because of an autosave system and one slot per game, presumably to prevent the player from backtracking after meeting an unpleasant end as was common with readers of the books.

* MacGuffin:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If solving puzzles is not your thing, picking the "6th sense" Kai Discipline will give you the answer for Shianti Cube puzzles immediately. Of course, the game [[GuideDangIt doesn't tell you that]] from the beginning.

* PointOfNoReturn: [[spoiler: After the first chapter, the first area is closed off completely.]]

** Warlord Gunzar and some Dhak can summon Doomwolves.

* DirtyCoward: Darklord Haakon leaves all of the fighting to Gunzar in the final showdown since he's afraid of being within striking distance of the Sommerswerd, one of the only things that can slay a Darklord. His fear is well justified, considering Sommerswerd's capable of emitting SwordBeam as well (they also had to save him for the books, where he's brave enough to take on Lone Wolf himself).
* DualWield: Lone Wolf can do this if he trades his shield for a secondary weapon. Unusual for this trope, he cannot use both weapon for a combo attack. The offhand weapon is used either to parry or to cause StandardStatusEffects like Stun or Bleeding. Several Dhakkarim do this too.

* LargeAndInCharge: Warlord Gunzar is HUGE compared to regular Dhakkarim.

* SaveScumming: Averted because of an autosave system and one slot per game, presumably to prevent a situation common to the books where players would bookmark a choice and go back to it if an unfavorable outcome resulted.

* WalkingArmory: Lone Wolf carries one primary weapon, one ranged weapon with ammo, the Sommerswerd, and either a shield or a second melee weapon.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Food is a type of restorative item in this game, unlike in the books where food just keeps you from getting weaker through hunger.

* EscortMission / YouShallNotPass: Lone Wolf needs to protect Leandra while she does repair to an elevator in the open from subsequent waves of enemies.

** UnbreakableWeapons: The Sommerswerd.

* DirtyCoward: Darklord Haakon leaves all of the fighting to Gunzar in the final showdown since he's afraid of being within striking distance of the Sommerswerd, one of the only things that can slay a Darklord. His fear is well justified, considering Sommerswerd's capable of emitting SwordBeam as well.

* BiggerBad: Darklord Harkon, who only sort of shows up at the end and doesn't really get involved in anything.

The story is penned by Joe Dever himself, and written exclusively for the videogame, not an adaptation of any book.

* DirtyCoward: Darklord Haakon leaves all of the fighting to Gunzar in the final showdown since he's afraid of being within striking distance of the Sommerswerd, one of the only things that can slay a Darklord.

* EarlyGameHell: As the game goes on, Lone Wolf gains access to deeper statistic pools, more resources, and better equipment, reducing the intensity of the difficulty.

* GeniusBruiser: Leandra. A reasonably capable fighter and a crackshot with her crossbow, she is also a skilled inventor like her father.

* MagicKnight: Lone Wolf. He is mainly a fighter, but knows several support spells.
* ManaDrain: Sort of. Killing enemies restores some Kai Power. Executing them with Sommerswerd restores a much larger portion.

* MoneyGrinding: From chapter II act II, the player can make use of RandomEncounters to kill enemies for loot and money.
* MookChivalry: Lone Wolf never has to fight more than 3 enemies at a time, because of the game engine. In large battles, enemies always come in waves of 3 at most.

A videogame spin off of the Literature/LoneWolf series of {{Gamebook}}s by Joe Dever. Combining the Gamebook genre of written narrative and multiple choice puzzle along with video game combat system using CombatantCooldownSystem, various touchscreen minigames. The game was released in an EpisodicGame format for [=IOS=] and Android, and in a single release for Steam.

As for the books, the story is penned by Joe Dever himself, and is brand new for the videogame, not an adaptation of one of the books.
