12 | ---- |
13 | !!Tropes: |
14 | * ActionGirl: Lt. Helga Frauscharf. |
15 | * ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Forces are soft-limited by food, and capturing buildings increases the limit. |
16 | * BilingualBonus: What the Axis units say, if you speak German (though it's pretty easy to understand). |
17 | * ColonelBadass: Col. Price Sterling. |
18 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After Genzken absorbs the power of the Relic portal, his appearance looks like the ComicBook/RedSkull. He doesn't make a big deal about it since he's now powerful.]] |
19 | * CosmeticallyDifferentSides: Nearly every unit has an equivalent with the same stats. |
20 | * DieselPunk: Largely of the Weird War strain. The mechs are a good example of this. |
21 | * DoomTroops: Uber-Soldat troops have GlowingEyesOfDoom and BFG's. They are also huge. |
22 | * EliteArmy: [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous Green Berets]] / [[SuperSoldier Uber-soldats]]. Ranged infantry with lots of HP and damage that only cost a little more than a normal squad, and take up just as much time to build and food cap. Especially compared with the mechs, which build slower and cost more. |
23 | * EnemyChatter: Units will say lines in speech balloons usually about killing the enemy. |
24 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Hanz Genzken first appearance has him ordering enemy prisoners tortured for information before killing them with delight. This will give you an idea how evil he is. |
25 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:By the end of the Allied Campaign, both Helga and Abigail discover that General [=MacDouglas=] is not so different from Genzken who, rather than destroy the Relic Portal, he wants to use its power to attack the Japanese, the Soviets and rule the world for America.]] |
26 | * {{Expy}}: |
27 | ** General [[PunnyName Arthur [=MacDouglas=]]] is an expy of General UsefulNotes/DouglasMacArthur. |
28 | ** Heichler is... yeah. |
29 | ** [[spoiler: After absorbing the power of the Relic from the portal, Genzken now looks like the ComicBook/RedSkull.]] |
30 | * FrankensteinsMonster: [[spoiler: Uber-Soldats]]. |
31 | * GenkiGirl: Jeanice. |
32 | * GlassCannon: Snipers. |
33 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Helga becomes a mole for the Allies after Genzken killed her Commander and later defects after her betrayal is discovered.]] |
34 | * HeroUnit: The enemy's hero unit is announced by a mini-display in the corner, and they tend to be difficult to take down. |
35 | * InvadedStatesOfAmerica: The Allied campaign focuses on the Allies fighting back the Axis after they successfully invaded the American East Coast. |
36 | * LaResistance: The French Resistance aids the Allies during the Axis campaign in France. |
37 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Genzken remarks that the player can casually send soldiers to their deaths as if the player is watching through a window from another world. He's not too far off. |
38 | * MissionControl: Lt. Helga Frauscharf to the Axis Commander and Lt. Abigail Steamfox to the Allied Commander. |
39 | * NonEntityGeneral: Lampshaded by Genzken, who notes that you casually send troops to their deaths as if you were looking at them through a window from another world. |
40 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Hanz "The Hellspawn" Genzken, in charge of the SS Paranormal Division. |
41 | * NoSwastikas: The Axis uses a triskellion (an inverted Y) instead. |
42 | * MadScientist |
43 | * ShoutOut: |
44 | ** The Elite Axis troops resemble the [[Anime/JinRohTheWolfBrigade Kerberos unit]]. |
45 | ** An elite Allied soldier named Franchise/{{Rambo}}o. |
46 | * SuperSoldier: Literally, with the Uber-soldat (several corpses stitched together, reanimated and given a minigun). |
47 | * StupidJetpackHitler: Most of the weapons both sides uses are ahead of their time. |
48 | * TopHeavyGuy: The {{Palette Swap}}s of the large soldier has arms half as thick as his chest, and has legs like toothpicks. |
49 | * WrenchWench: Jeanice. Her portrait has her ''literally'' holding onto a wrench. |
50 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:[=MacDouglas=] reveals himself to be this in the Allied campaign finale.]] |
