** If you complete 0-S and then make it about halfway through 4-3 without grabbing the torch, the distinctive hiss of Something Wicked will play, accompanied with the following prompts:

** The JumpStart variant of the Nailgun. It attaches a cable to an enemy that charges up a powerful electric shock that zaps all nearby enemies. Its effect is amplified if said enemies have nails in them or if there's magnets planted nearby.

*** Violence [[spoiler:is an eerie white graveyard-like wasteland with a vast maze-like mausoleum filled with Mannequins.]]

* ShockAndAwe: The Electric variant of the Railcannon, which is the first one you'll come across. If an enemy has nails stuck in them, you can use this variant to electrfy those nails and make them explode for extra damage and the "Conductor" bonus.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Maybe, [[spoiler:it's implied that Hell manipulated the Machines into killing everything on Earth for its own sick entertainment after failing to manipulate humanity to kill themselves during the Final War.

* EasyLevelsHardBosses: The game developers recognized that the bosses in this game tend to be harder than the rest of the levels, thus adding the "boss difficulty override" option in the major assists menu.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The soundtrack for 1-2, [[SensoryAbuse "A Complete And Utter Destruction of the Senses"]].

* WhamEpisode: The end of Act II. [[spoiler:Gabriel suffers another defeat at the hands of V1, except this time he walks away from it humbled and even enlightened; causing him to reflect on the untold thousands he's effortlessly condemned and slaughtered, how he's developed a taste for adversity, and how it is that an agent of God could now be challenged by a belligerent lower life form. He comes to the conclusion that GodIsDead, and that the kingdom has masked their own weakness by using God's image to rule through fear and tyranny. He subsequently vows to spend his final hours waging his own battle, slays the entire Holy Council that keep order in the realms, and holds aloft the decapitated head of a councilmember in front of heaven's populace. Cue the stinger;]]

--> [[spoiler:CLEAN UP YOUR MESS]]

* BilingualBonus: The banner on the dead machine in the hole where the Impact Hammer is found reads "Vechter van die volk", which means "Fighter of the people" in Dutch[[note]]It's [[YouMakeMeSic incorrectly conjugated, though]]. it should be "Vechter van ''het'' volk"[[/note]].

* BilingualBonus: The banner on the dead machine in the hole where the Jackhammer is found reads "Vechter van die volk", which means "Fighter of the people" in Dutch[[note]]It's [[YouMakeMeSic incorrectly conjugated, though]]. it should be "Vechter van ''het'' volk"[[/note]].

* NoFairCheating: When activating cheats, the player will not be ranked on normal levels, and high score will not be recorded in cyber grind.

** The Alternate Nailgun is a sawblade launcher that fires, well, sawblades that bounce on any surface they hit.

* AnimalMotif: As a reference to his original ''Literature/DantesInferno'' counterpart (who's a serpentine monster), King Minos has a snake motif, which can be seen through his corpse (the parasitic worms controlling his corpse are described as serpentine), [[spoiler: and through his Prime Soul (each of his arms are coiled by a snake, and he uses them to enhance his attacks. He also summons a large etheral snake as a deadly homing projectile).]]

* WingedHumanoid: V1 and V2 are humanoid robots with vaguely angelic wings, going by their glowing appearance and multiple extensions. This also applies to Gabriel, since he's an armored angel with glowing etheral wings.

--> '''Gabriel:''': Machine, turn back ''now''.

* KillItWithFire: The Firestarter variant of the rocket launcher fires jets of gasoline that can be ignited with any explosive weapon or Overheat nails, and can be used to burn enemies that are usually immune to fire and to create fire traps to incinerate fodder. Burning enemies also take extra damage from all other attacks.

* BottomlessPits: The Cyber Grind is surrounded by a pit that will instantly end your run if you fall in.

* BrutalBonusLevel: The Prime Sanctums. There's one for each Act, and they'll only unlock if you've P-ranked every level in that Act, on top of the actual entrance being hidden. Needless to say, as many have put it, getting the P ranks isn't an achievement - '''it's a warning.'''

** In 7-S, there is a slightly longer cave hidden behind a waterfall.
