* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In combat, you may end up crossing blades with your enemies in a mutual attack, requiring you to win the struggle to break through their posture and deal a decisive blow. Gourgaz though are so much bigger (and stronger) than Lone Wolf that the weapon clash ends immediately with Lone Wolf pinned by the monster's massive polearm, having to struggle to dodge the bites and break free.

** [[AnAxeToGrind Axes]]: The average weapon in both damage, speed and stamina cost, in the offhand they can cause bleed or make the target slower and weaker. Drakkarim Sergeants and some Giaks also wield them.

* WeaponOfChoice: Diverging from the books, Lone Wolf has a limited use for the Sommerswerd and has to choose among three different weapons for his primary fighting method: He can choose among the following:

->''For many centuries, the Kai Lords defended their kingdom of Sommerlund from the Darklords of Helgedad. Many battles were fought and won by the Kai, but finally came their demise. Three years ago, the monastery of your order was attacked by the armies of the Dark Lords. The Kai were destroyed, you were the only one who survived the final battle. All seemed loss, but you retrieved the Sommerswerd, the one weapon that can slay a Darklord of Helgedad. You slew Zagarna, the Darklord leader and saved your kingdom from destruction. Now the lesser Darklords hunger to take their revenge. It fall to you, the lask Kai Lord of Summerlund, to crush their evil scheme once more.''

* DualBoss: The penultimate battle of Act III pits you against ''two'' [[BossInMookClothing Gourgaz]] at once. Fortunately the game cuts you some slack and they have less health than usual.

* FlechetteStorm: One type of ranged weapons available is throwing daggers.

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: At the end of [[spoiler: chapter 3, Lone Wolf is trapped in a dream where he fights his dark counterpart.]]

* BowAndSwordInAccord: One of the possible equipment setups for Lone Wolf.

** FlamingSword: When it's being charged for an attack.

* DeadlyDodging: How 6th Sense is employed in combat.

* 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. The tradeoff in this game is you can only eat outside of fights, but potions can be used anytime.

* {{Mana}}: Lone Wolf's Kai powers and the Sommerswerd now run off a mana meter.

** Warlord Gunzag has such a move as part of his deadly repertoire: if Lone Wolf fails the QTE, the Drakkarim will sink his sword into Lone Wolf's chest, resulting in instant death.

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: [[spoiler: The Shianti Cubes, each contains a soul.]]

* PressXToNotDie: Most of the game's combat is this.

* SavageWolves: When you reach V'taag, the enemy forces include armored Doomwolves.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Codex warns that using the Sommerswerd will draw enemies to the user "like moths to a flame", but it has no such effect in-game.

** [[HeroesPreferSwords Swords]]: They inflict the less damage, but are faster and their attacks are the least expansive when it comes to stamina points. As offhand weapons they can either disarm or cause bleeding.
** [[AnAxeToGrind Axes]]: The average weapon in both damage, speed and stamina cost, in the offhand they can cause bleed or make the target slower and weaker.
** [[CarryABigStick Maces]]: They deal the most damage but are slower and heavier. Still, they can stun enemies in combat even with normal attacks.

* DualBoss: The penultimate battle of Act III pits you against ''two'' [[BossInMooksClothing Gourgaz]] at once. Fortunately the game cuts you some slack and they have less health than usual.

* 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 Drakkarim do this too, including Warlord Gunzag.

* StandardStatusEffects: Lone Wolf can Stun enemies, set them on fire, poison them, disarm them, incapacitate them. Vordak can use the "Silence" move to prevent Lone Wolf from using spells.

* BiggerBad: Darklord Haakon, who only sort of shows up at the end and doesn't really get involved in anything (but then, it does have to save him for the fifth book).

* {{Gamebook}}: In the reading portion of the game, the player is continually faced with problems and has to pick a solution. Choices either weaken enemies, help you avoid fights altogether, or put you in even more troubles. Some have more long lasting consequences, such as determining whether an NPC die or live to help you later.

The game combines the Gamebook genre of written narrative and multiple choice puzzle with a combat system using CombatantCooldownSystem and QuickTimeEvents. The game was released in an EpisodicGame format for [=IOS=] and Android, and in a single release for Steam.

* ManaDrain: Sort of. Killing enemies restores some Kai Power. Managing to execute them with Sommerswerd restores a much larger amount.

* TinTyrant: Warlord Gunzar

* BigBad: Warlord Gunzar

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Scarlet Fang, the Gourgaz champion which Lone Wolf ''must'' defeat in order to access the Shianti Temple.

* FlamingSword: Much to Lone Wolf displease, Act III and IV feature Drakkarim armed with ''flaming swords''.

* LargeAndInCharge: Warlord Gunzar is HUGE compared to regular Drakkarim. Scarlet Fang is described as "the largest Gourgaz you've ever seen".

* LifeDrinker: The Survival discipline allows Lone Wolf to do this. Vordak can also do this to Lone Wolf.

* NoSell: With Psychobeam/screen, Lone Wolf can shrug off the Vordak's spells. On the other end, certain enemies such as Gourgaz and Vordak are immune to certain effects such as stunning or bleeding.

* PlotCoupon: In the first chapter, Lone Wolf has to find components to fix the elevator and pursue the enemy.

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

* LifeDrinker: The Survival discipline allows Lone Wolf to do this.

* BigBadWolf: When you reach V'taag, the enemy forces include armored Doomwolves.

!!The game provides examples of the following tropes:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If solving puzzles is not your thing, picking the "6th sense" Kai Discipline will give you the answer for Shianti Cube puzzles immediately.

* WeaponTwirling: Lone Wolf sometimes does a slow version as a fight's beginning.

* ActionSurvivor: Leandra, who has been pretty much surviving alone since the attack.

* AmuletofConcentratedAwesome: Gunzar wears one to become a truly worthy end boss. It even forces Lone Wolf to fight a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind a couple times on the way to the final battle.

The game is set somewhere during the Kai era, after the events of the 2nd book ''Fire on the Water''. You play once more as Lone Wolf, last of the Kai lords. Lone Wolf has recently triumphed over the Dark Lord leader Zargana, using the Sommerswerd. He has thus been granted liegedom over a stretch of land of Sommerlund by the king. News soon reaches Lone Wolf that a village named Rockstarn under his protection has been attacked, and Lone Wolf sets out to rescue the survivors and find the reason behind the attack.

* ManaDrain: Sort of. Killing enemies restores some Kai Power. Executing them with Sommerswerd restores a much larger amount.

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: The execution animation for a Vordak has Lone Wolf throwing the Sommerswerd into the Vordak's gem.
