9	----
10	!!This video game provided examples of:
11
12	* ActionGirl: Sayuri and Victoria
13	* AerithAndBob: Among the four named characters, [=ShadowStalker=] particularly stands out.
14	* AirplaneArms: Victoria's running animation employs this.
15	* BackTracking: After acquiring the Relic, the party has to sometimes go back to previous areas in order to find the way back to complete the mission. A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], as going back to one area usually leads the party to a different exit route from which they entered from.
16	* CombatStilettos: Victoria's choice of footwear.
17	* CoOpMultiplayer
18	* DualWielding: Sayuri, [=ShadowStalker=], and Victoria do this, but with different weapons. Dwayne [[AvertedTrope averts]] this by using two-armed weapons, but he makes up for it by being able to switch between [[WalkingArmory his more numerous firearms]].
19	* ExcusePlot: Play as a group of four characters to collect Relics from exotic places and come back safely! Why? To get better gear and do it all over again! Now off you go!
20	* GenderEqualEnsemble: 2 Males ([=ShadowStalker=] and Dwayne) and 2 Females (Sayuri and Victoria). However, this can be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in-game in that all players can choose to be the same character (So having four Sayuri's in one session) or just choosing the characters of the same gender (All players are either Dwayne or [=ShadowStalker=]).
21	* GunsAkimbo: Victoria switches between two guns primarily, but can also employ kicks.
22	* HellBentForLeather: Victoria's default costume gives off this vibe.
23	* HollywoodHacking: Anytime a section requires someone to decipher/hack an area, any character can just stand in the highlighted circle and press a button in order to solve the obstacle in their way.
24	* MacGuffin: The Relics. After acquiring them, the next portion of the mission involves taking it back with you, turning into...
25	* MacGuffinEscortMission: One character has to carry the Relic back with the party, but they are left vulnerable, so the other members of the group have to defend them from enemies as they escort him/her back to the beginning.
26	* MinidressOfPower: Victoria's dress, though she can be customized to wear different outfits.
27	* MultiplayerDifficultySpike: Although it's possible to beat the missions solo, due to enemies having the tendency to [[RespawningEnemies infinitely respawn]] in some sections of the missions (usually in areas that require someone to [[HollywoodHacking hack or unlock]] an obstacle in the way), this game definitely tries to encourage players to play with others.
28	* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter: [=ShadowStalker=] likes to let out a pretty hearty laugh while he's striking down enemies.
29	* ScarfOfAssKicking: [=ShadowStalker=]'s skull-decorated scarf.
30	* ScaryBlackMan: Dwayne.
31	* SwordAndGun: Sayuri employs this with a sword in one hand and a submachine gun in the other. As for [=ShadowStalker=], it's an axe and a shotgun.
32	* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: As a dodge mechanic in gameplay.
33	* VideoGameTutorial: Whoever you choose as your character, the player has to do a tutorial level that explains the controls and objectives of the game. You would also have to do the tutorial level [[ForcedTutorial again]] if you decide to play as a different character.
34	* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Thankfully [[AvertedTrope averted]]. If one player loses all their health, the mission still goes on and they can be revived by other players in the party. However, if all players get KO'd, then it's game over and the mission ends.
