* AGodAmI: Faust possess mysterious powers that lets him grant life to innanimate objects and even create it on the spot. After wandering the Earth and observing humanity, he comes to the conclusion that the Creator has left Earth and humanity has no purpose or divine plan in their future other than reproduction. He finally reaches one conclusion: humans have no inherent right over Earth, so he's free to exterminate them and "create his own future" with his self-made lifeforms, who are better fit to rule the planet than the conceited humans.
* AllergicToRoutine: Seyfert lived in a small isolated town in the Arctic where his life was perfect: he had good grades, was good at sports and literature, had plenty of friends and girls loved him. But he found this all extremely boring, so when he saw a report of Faust attacking cities he immediately JumpedAtTheCall, thinking it was his destiny to stop him.
* AllThereInTheManual: The game has very minimal story, and what's there is very disjointed and hard to follow, but Yotsui did publish through Facebook a number of backstory notes that delve in the world, characters and enemies of the game in great detail. This information not figuring in-game was a conscious decision, however, as him and the producer thought too much exposition wouldn't benefit an action game.
* AWinnerIsYou: The finale is a "Thank you for saving the world"
* AxCrazy: Hitori. She believes that "Fairy Blood" in her veins makes her that way. She's also the only one who openly speaks about her descendance, something the others don't like bringing attention to at all. See also her reasoning for wearing an eyepatch.

ComesGreatResponsibility: All Moon Divers take up the oath of their ancestors to protect humanity from being wiped out by Faust, although not all for the same reason: Seyfert is just bored of his peaceful lifestyle and feels his destiny is to stop Faust, Hitori is genuinely into saving humanity, Ourion is forced into the role by his aged father and Tolby is interested in knowing more about their powers and the reason they have them.
*CrapsackWorldContinuityNod: Small subtle references can be seen in the backstory to its predecessors:
** Hitori's name is established to be made-up of two Japanese words ("Hi"=fire, "Tori"=bird) in the same way Hiryu's name is formed ("Hi"=flying, "Ryu"=dragon). Hitori's backstory also implies she descends from the same tribe Hiryu was born in.
** Silence's weapon Shusui is called a "Plasma Light Sword" and stated to work by creating a focused discharge of plasma able to cut through anything. Fans of Hiryu will quickly recognize the parallels to his weapon, the "Light Sword Cypher", which uses plasma to create its all-cutting blade. Shusui also happens to be the name of Hiryu's mother in the original script.
** The backstory speaks in great detail of the company behind some of the machines in the game, Siberian Arsenal. The company has many nods to the research staffs working under Grandmaster Meio in the backstory of ''Strider'', which were banished to Siberia after creating the Anti-Gravity Device.
** One cutscene has Faust mention that the Earth has "no master, nor a creator to worship". In Japanese "creator" is actually "slave driver", making this phrase a reference to the two previous {{Big Bad}}s, [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} the Grandmaster]] and [[VideoGame/CannonDancer Slaver]].
** The first area of the final stage (where the BossRush starts) is called "Da Rudel Taktik", the same name used by the Teki's three-man formation in the final stage of ''Cannon Dancer''.
* TheCorruption: There are one kind of enemy in-game which is a human half-mutated into one of Faust's creatures. This is explained to happen to humans who are attacked but their brains are not destroyed, instead becoming a monstrous hybrid whose only instinct left is to wander and kill.
* CrapsackWorld: A world that has been almost entirely wiped out by the whims of a child with god-like powers, leaving countries bare and humans almost exctinct. The Human Resistance Army was created to defend itself from Faust, but their attempts have all failed and they are in shambles, with their soldiers on the battlefield incommunicated and left to survive on their own, paranoid of anyone approaching them (which accounts for their appearance as in-game enemies). The army's last-ditch effort of using a large KillSat to kill Faust led to the sacrifice of the ''entire North American continent'', and it didn't even phased him. If not for the Moon Divers, what's left of humanity would have no hope of surviving.

Faust as in the [[Myth/{{Faust}} myth]]. According to the backstory, this is in reference of [[Theatre/{{Faust}} Goethe's play]]: while the Faust of the story is tempted and corrupted by the power of the devil, this Faust has no such excuse. All the horrible things he does are entirely of his own free will and he feels no empathy nor remorse for what he's doing. Literally the devil "has been redered mute" by the utter despair Faust has caused entirely by himself.
* MisanthropeSupreme:Faust.Faust believes humanity is nothing special and has no particular right to rule Earth, and feels disgusted by their corruption and arrogance, so he decides he's in his right to wipe them out and give the planet to his self-created race, much better adapted to rule the planet.
