  • Awesome Music: The game has great music, perhaps the most memorable track is the one that plays during the Great Tree level.
  • Best Known for the Fanservice: The advertisements for the game really liked to push the Fur Bikini Vikki wears in the prehistoric world. Taken up to eleven in one German game magazine ad, with Vikki completely nude in a spring with her trying to cheekily cover her plastic assets.
  • Funny Moments: In the space world, when one of the Martians tells Vikki "You aliens are all the same!", she responds with "Shut your pie-hole!"
    • Merlin warns Vikki not to let Brigitte "get her hooks in you, or she'll have her way with you." Vikki asks: "What do you mean? Did she get her hooks in you?" Merlin quickly admits, "Yes. Uh, she did."
  • Heartwarming Moment: Vikki befriending Leo for the first time and earning his trust.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The dragon is very scary. It looks absolutely ferocious, and the fact that it can hide beneath the water and appear anywhere during its fight means it could easily catch you off guard. The shadowy demon lions with glowing red eyes are a close second.
  • So Okay, It's Average: The game received mixed reviews, but most agree that it's not terrible.
  • Tear Jerker: Leo and Vikki having to say goodbye at the end.
  • That One Boss:
    • The dragon, which is immune to basic arrows and hits very hard. It can also hide beneath the water and rise back up somewhere else to catch you on your blind spots.
    • Even for being the Final Boss, the Martian leader is very difficult. It has a forcefield protecting it, so you have to deactivate it. Even than, it can only be hurt by lightning and piercing arrows. Its attacks also hit hard, and there are other Martians in the area attacking you as well.
