10	!!This game features the following tropes:
11	* ActionCommands: By using MP, you can skip the action sequences in favor of a single powerful strike charged by quick time events.
12	* ChargedAttack: Holding the evasion button also charges the special gauge for the LimitBreak.
13	* {{Combos}}: Better juggle enemies as much as possible. Combos and their damage are measured and ranked at the corner of the screen.
14	* CowardlyLion: Gershom and the Wizard soon realize they're way over their heads and are both terribly scared, [[ClassicalAntiHero but Gershom is determined to protect his village]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold the Wizard, despite being in it for the glory and mooching off Gershom's skills, won't leave the kid to face danger alone either.]]
15	* ElementalRockPaperScissors: There are two offensive stats, and the two playable characters use opposite ones for action-mode attacks and quick time event skills. Sometimes you might have to play as Gershom in action mode and leave the Wizard for the [=QTEs=].
16	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Gershom is disturbed from having to kill Mariah in a fight while hardly knowing what was going on, but he does it in the Wizard's defense and reassures himself that [[VileVillainSaccharineShow she was pure evil and a terrible threat to Chestertown.]]
17	* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Mariah, the boss of the demo, is a ruthless witch who nearly kills Wizard just because she didn't appreciate someone not obeying her.]]
18	* LimitBreak: A special gauge fills up as the player hits enemies or holds the evasion button. Gershom starts with a multi-hit SpinAttack and the Wizard starts with a powerful single-hit tackle.
19	* MercyMode: An assist mode can be toggled at will to make enemies and action commands easier, with no penalties.
20	* PreExistingEncounters: Enemies can be seen wandering around each room, and encounters trigger when touching them. There are no effects for engaging them from behind or vice-versa.
21	* StationaryBoss: Played with. All mooks are sitting ducks during the player's turn on battle mode, but the bosses do make an effort to move away from them.
