* AntiClimaxBoss: The FinalBoss in the last level of the first episode named Bravo Sector. You've slugged your way through waves of GoddamnedBats and a few DemonicSpiders, only for this eggshell-shaped boss to simply fire missile salvos and a few aimed flak balls at you, and the white guns that what appear to be its plasma cannons don't even fire (presumably due to either a bug or being DummiedOut to not work). The FinalBoss of Outer Regions is also potentially disappointing if have the Auto-Tracking Mini Gun, as there are obvious safe spaces on the sides where only five sets of aimed flak ball shooters can hit you (many of which you may already have destroyed before they activated); once you learn which turrets to destroy first and have the timing down to dodge the remaining aiming turrets, it becomes easy.

Unlike the other two Final Bosses (the former is a disappointing AntiClimaxBoss and the latter is a not-so-interesting CoresAndTurretsBoss, even though the latter is still quite deadly if you're not careful), this one is a wedge-shaped capital ship that moves around unleashing a deadly storm of lasers, missiles, and flak balls (aimed and regular) at you to make things difficult. As if that weren't enough, it is also accompanied by two mini-ships that break out from its aft section and flying around at the opposite edges of the screen continuously spewing out a single laser beam at you, making this boss fight very interesting. And after you've defeated all three ships, you're treated to a short cutscene where the boss in its flaming death throes comes crashing down to the forest in a spectacular, almost meteoric explosion.

While it can destroy ground turrets, the effect becomes negated when used against single grounded targets and doesn't come as useful.

* BetterOffSold: Weapon pickups obtained during a level, especially during a first playthrough, can really prove their salt against enemy targets on the same level. However, once the player has their own preferred weapon loadout, these weapon pickups often serve no purpose beyond being sold for credits in the supply room after completing a level.

The fight gets significantly easier if you have the Auto-Track Mini Gun and manage to destroy one of the two guns quickly, but this is probably the most difficult boss in Tango Sector.
