This game provides examples of the following tropes:
- Combat Medic: The Frets can heal each other with their special abilities. Techies go for a once-per-match revive instead.
- Convection, Schmonvection: Like in many other games, lava flows will only harm the characters if they step/fall directly into them.
- Energy Weapon: The Techies have plenty of laser weapons, all with perfectly visible beams.
- First-Person Shooter: It is possible to aim in that manner as opposed to third-person camera or the traditional overhead view.
- First-Person Snapshooter: One of the mission types requires your team to take snapshots of certain objects with a camera.
- Floating Platforms: Techie planets feature many of those.
- Grimy Water: As a darker side to Techie industrialisation, their water is always encountered as toxic, instantly lethal orange pools.
- Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: Averted. While the game doesn’t quite have Everything Breaks nature of Worms, a lot of objects can still be destroyed, including trees, and yes, fences.
- Invisibility Cloak: One of the power-ups provides invisibility. There’s also an item that grants it for a while, though it has steep cooldown.
- Lethal Joke Character: The Comedians, which are secret fourth team that consists of seriously pissed-off farm animals. They lack special abilities, but instead possess arsenal of various highly destructive weaponry, up to and including nukes.
- Make Me Wanna Shout: The Pack’s special ability is to howl, which provides double damage for the team-mates in range.
- McGuffin: The magical stones that each side wants, and which will decide the course of the war for them.
- Shotguns Are Just Better: The Pack faction evidently thinks that, and uses the most advanced shotguns.
- Shout-Out: The names you can pick for your characters are all various puns towards popular culture: you have Ninja Bill, Pizza Rat, Agent Barbie, etc.
- Sprint Shoes: There are several items dedicated to increasing your characters’ speed.
- Super Drowning Skills: Downplayed: characters can cross shallow pools of water, but will quickly drow in water deeper than their height.
- Tap on the Head: Some missions require knocking your enemies out in melee to capture them.
- Teleporters and Transporters: some maps feature two-way portals. Others will have catapults that allow your characters to propel themselves to the other side of the map.
- War for Fun and Profit: Coins scattered around the levels play a very large role in the game. At the beginning of the campaign, it’s often more useful to collect as many as possible than to fight normally.
- Weak Turret Gun: Averted with the robotic scarecrows, which act like turrets in the game and can often provide a challenge.
