History YMMV / Abalaburn

** Nate is cold and wanting to seek revenge for [[spoiler: years of abuse by the army who raised him due to his mother abandoning him as a baby]]. It gets worse when it's revealed that [[spoiler: his mother is Abyss who abandoned him due to the fact he was only half angel leaving him without wings believing he's weak. Lemuria refuses to help him due to that, and he kills Yura without realizing Aquila is her because of the army using her vessel to operate it, all of which causes him to [[GoMadFromTheRevelation completely snap.]]]]

** Aquila [[spoiler: Yura, due to being used as a vessel for the robot the army is developing without either her or Nate knowing it. If Nate is chosen, he would kill her without realizing who she is until it's far too late]].
* WTHCastingAgency: Rose's voice. For being a rather mature looking lady, she has the voice of [[{{Keet}} Kenny]] from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', though that might be considered to fit her abrasive personality.

* Narm: The faces most of the characters wear [[spoiler: after sealing Abyss]] tend to make them look like they're about to snap rather than just being tired out.

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: Moving platforms tend to make really loud high pitched droning noises.

** Pooly is either well liked for his very funny personality and story next to the much more serious story of everyone else and flexible easy to control game play or disliked for being his story being too contrasting next to everyone else, his tendency to [[TheGadfly act like he isn't aware of anything]] and for being one of the harder characters to fight against due to said fighting style.
** Kleude. either he's liked for being a NiceGuy and shades of [[ShrinkingViolet shyness]] being cute whose goal is to save his mother is heartwarming or he's disliked for his MommasBoy tendency coming off as incestous, being overly effeminate and being more difficult to pick up than any other characters.
** Rose- a beautiful realistically flawed woman with great character development, or a horrible woman who gets away with her mean behavior to her sister with a grating unfitting voice.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ask most player who is the character they think of when talking about this game, Ariel and Nate are usually the first to come in mind, it helps that the former is a very strong woman despite her daintiness who learns to open up and the latter is [[TroubledButCute a handsome man with a very troubling past.]]
* EsotericHappyEnding: Aquila's ending [[spoiler: sure she gets her human form back and managed to get Nate back home but there's also the factor Nate was abused by the army that isn't addressed in her ending.]]

** The moves that can be used when low on health tend to be overpowered, which is useful against a lot of the later sub bosses and makes [[CurbStompBattle regular enemies into mincemeat very quickly.]] Kleude's is the most broken due to the fact he can [[HealingHands heal]] and the computer in arcade mode always guard due to thinking it's an attack instead.
** The throw attack in arcade mode as well as it negates guarding, however unlike the above it cannot be used in the adventure segment of story mode.
* {{Moe}}: Ariel, Kleude and Aquila. Ariel for her petite figure and large vulnerable eyes and dutiful personality, Kleude due to his shyness and cariness to his family and Aquila for being a BrokenBird who just wanted her and Nate's life to be better.

** Rose and her sister. Mary left their family due to their abuse, when the sisters fight due to issues with keeping a pet they found in the valley that caused Mary to run off only to get captured by a strange man [[spoiler: to be used a vessel for Abyss]], her attitude stems from trying to be independent for her sister gone overboard due to her young age.
** Nate is cold and wanted to seek revenge from the army for [spoiler: years of abuse by the army who raised him due to his mother abandoning him as a baby]] it gets worse when it's revealed that [[spoiler: his mother is Abyss who abandoned him due to the fact he was only half angel leaving him without wings believing he's weak, and Lemuria refuse to help him due to that and killing Yura without realizing Aquila is her because of the army using her vessel to operate it that cause him to [[GoMadFromTheRevelation completely snap.]]

** When they aren't brain dead some of the computer in arcade mode can be very hard to deal with, pray that you don't face these characters at the end of Mount Clome:
** Kleude's computer knows to use his faster special attack rather than his slower special attack with one of them used to hone him close to you, if you try to get too far when he's low on health he will take advantage of it to heal as well, plus one of the attack that uses the magic meter while having an awkward hit box and is slow to start can take out 1/4th of your health if it connects.
** Bian has a very high attack and aggressive AI, the downside of him however is he's slow and large making him an easy target.
** Pooly's very fast and flexible moveset in addition to his shortness makes him both a hard target to hit while he can easily reach up to you.
** With the sub bosses there are the second sub boss in Gunrock due to it's very long attack animation and huge range making long ranged attack impossible without reading it's AI and both the sub bosses in RS Plant the first for being a GetBackHereBoss without a save point anywhere near it and the latter when playing as Nate, Pooly or Bian since it's close range attack is fast and does devastating damage even when blocking it.
* ThatOneLevel: Mount Clome due to the two guillotine hazards in the beginning and the end of it(the latter being right before you face the main boss too!) and two long platforming section with really loud droning sounds(while the first one is optional it is required if you want to get every equipment).
* RS Plant too especially with [[GentleGiant Bian]] since there are moving platforms with lasers and moving hooks everywhere plus you can't save until just before the second sub boss and the large amount of backtracking after that.

** See the cute slender looking blonde girl with HartmanHips and soft feminine sounding voice? That's a guy(Kleude)
** Nate can also trip unsuspecting people with his slender build and fine features though his voice is a bit more masculine than Kleude's.

** [[spoiler: Abyss is actually a woman despite her masculine build and voice(even calling herself a father to Nate). However her true form is much more feminine looking.]]

** Aquila [[spoiler: Yura, due to being used as a vessel for the robot the army is developing without either her or Nate knowing it. If Nate is chosen, he would kill her without realizing that was Yura until it's far too late]].
* WTHCastingAgency: Rose's voice, for being a rather mature looking lady she has the voice of [[{{Keet}} Kenny]] from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' though that might be considered to fit her abrasive personality.

* AwesomeMusic: The game's soundtrack is very high quality, especially the intro of each character's story mode and Heat Desert's theme.

* GameBreakingBug: Playing as [[spoiler: Mary]] in arcade mode will automatically cause the game to freeze just before the match starts, it is not advised to load up a complete data of [[spoiler: Rose]] and play the 1P mode due to this.

* ThatOneBoss: When they aren't brain dead some of the computer in arcade mode can be very hard to deal with, pray that you don't face these characters at the end of Mount Clome:

* TheWoobie: Most of the playable characters, Ariel due to her heart being frozen is unable to express happiness despite wishing to, Kleude since his father is dead when he was young and his mother is dying after an attack which could leave him and his brother completely alone and Aquila/ [[spoiler: Yura, due to being used as a vessel for the robot the army is developing without either her or Nate knowing it and if Nate is chosen, he would kill her without realizing that was Yura until it's far too late]] for the standard ones.
** JerkassWoobie: Despite their abrasive off putting personality, they too are suffering and are shaped this way due to that.
*** Blood due to feeling he isn't important to anyone due to how much his father accomplished feeling like an inferior version to him, worsen when Gunrock was turned into a dangerous waste land taking his mother with it puts up a rude facade to hide how he is really feeling [[spoiler: he gets visibly upset when he finds out his father is working for Abyss]], his breakdown on his own ending reveals he is unable to put that up anymore.
*** Rose and her sister, Mary left their family due to their abuse, when the sisters fight due to issues with keeping a pet they found in the valley that caused Mary to run off only to get captured by a strange man [[spoiler: to be used a vessel for Abyss]], her attitude stems from trying to be independent for her sister gone overboard due to her young age.
