* FasterThanLightTravel: You can fly at a trillion times the speed of light.

* AliensAreBastards: [[spoiler:Played with - the intruders wanted to prove that they were worthy of life...but only partially, as they chose to pick on humanity for no good reason apart from jealousy.]]

* CosmicHorrorStory: Played with. Opposite to most of the genre, humanity is ''the most'' important existence in the universe, though this doesn't make their situation any better. Humanity is deemed by [[{{God}} the Signer]] as the Chosen Species which will flourish and fill the universe, while the other intelligent species are doomed to be erased. The human race, of course, has no idea what's going on: suddenly there's an AlienInvasion and there's a flying naked purple man who's killing the aliens but also killing a bunch of humans, no idea if it's by accident or on purpose, and one day [[spoiler:all celestial bodies in the universe disappear and are replaced by a bunch of Earths.]] A potential bright side is that the Signer promises to let humanity know their purpose ''after'' the AlienInvasion is over and done with, but that means telling them [[spoiler:that the universe was made up in the mind of an inhabitant of a higher universe which was made up in the mind of an inhabitant of a higher universe that-you get the idea. Also, the ''only'' purpose of humanity was to fill up the universe, which the Signer himself decided humanity was incapable of doing on their own, hence the Earth cloning. You can only guess how humanity would react when all religion, morality and nearly all philosophy is effectively out the window, and all the scientific progress they've been working on for ages is rendered ultimately pointless. Many would probably even GoMadFromTheRevelation.]]

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: The protagonist is a god who was originally human.

* HumansNeedAliens: Humanity seems to be defenseless against aliens, so they depend on the protagonist to defend them.

* SmallUniverseAfterAll: You can fly to other galaxies with [=Superluminal=] Flight.

* CosmicHorrorStory: The [[spoiler:true theme]] of the game is [[spoiler:what if a Lovecraftian God grew to believe humanity was necessary for his plans.]]
* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: No matter how careful the player is, the protagonist will end up destroying a lot of buildings by accident.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of superhero games in general, where the main appeal is in the sheer destruction you can cause. Here, not only is this discouraged, but actively punished, and killing people with stray attacks is made startlingly easy. The game goes out of it's way to remind you how horrific the destruction you're both causing and stopping is, with audible screams every time casualties are lost. While the power you have is exhilarating, the game makes it very clear this comes at the cost of being a walking disaster. In a way, this game works as a companion piece to both ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'' and ''ComicBook/LexLuthorManOfSteel'', showing just what it's really like being ComicBook/{{Superman}}: it's really, ''really'' hard.

The main story of the game follows a mysterious hypercube named the Signer creating the "Offspring", a PhysicalGod entity that it has tasked with defending Earth from destruction at the hands of the Intruders, a mechanical race of Aliens hellbent on obliterating humanity. What sets the game apart is its ludicrous scale- entire cities can be leveled in one attack, spaceships and buildings will crumble under the might of your blows, and one of the earliest upgrades is turning your maximum speed from Mach 8 to ''1 trillion times the speed of light.''

* EverythingBreaks: [[UpToEleven And how!]] Entire city blocks can be leveled in seconds.

** Type 6/7: The Signer

** You yourself can very, ''very'' easily destroy the entire planet by charging your megaton blast for about thirty seconds. Make sure to aim it for the sky when fighting aliens.

* EvilIsEasy: Fighting without bothering about collateral damage makes fights easier.

* InvisibleWall: One stops you leaving Earth's orbit before you get SuperLuminal Flight.
* OpeningTheSandbox: As mentioned above, the universe is yours dyer you learn SuperLuminal Flight.

* SmallUniverseAfterAll: You can fly to other galaxies with Superluminal Flight.

* StrayShotsStrikeNothing: ''[[AvertedTrope Averted.]]'' Your attacks are every bit as destructive as those of the invaders, so careful aim is a must.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: As seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvboEULeM9o here]], if the player were to keep draining the casualties bar by killing humans for fun outside of a mission, then the hints will start to warn the player that what they're doing is wrong. And if they don't listen, the game punishes the player by draining most of their casualties bar, making the game much harder. And reloading the game without saving does ''not'' fix this.

* SmallUniverseAfterAll: You can fly to over galaxies with Superluminal Flight.
