YMMV / The Demon Rush

• Accidental Innuendo: Cherry Venus would make an excellent porn name.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Brooks Cracktackle, mostly due to his name.
• Fan Nickname: Mikwuyma referred to Cook as ClutchWhat. He had named him CookWhat, but the character's general overpoweredness made him the clutch for the party.
  • He also refers to Pound as Poundcake / Duragon, and Alberto as Alberta.
  • Jimmy's Twister move is occasionally called "Scarecrow (Attack)", since he sticks his arms straight out like one when performing it.
• Fetish Retardant: The remake contains multiple shots of nudity, all rendered in the same style as the rest of the game.
• Fridge Logic: The entire game, but some elements stand out:
  • Claire did not change her last name after being adopted by Cook and his wife, out of hope that her bio-parents can locate her one day. If she has no recollection of her origins, how did she even know her original name?
  • Who was keeping Tara's daughter Leah while she was away? She makes no mention of any other family or friends. (Her husband was already dead.)
• Game-Breaker:
  • Cook starts out overleveled, attacks from a distance, and has excellent overall stat growths.
  • Extremes. Attack and defense increase, defending recovers HP and MP, and you gain access to two special attacks.
  • Cook in Extreme mode. He can use Advantage to put enemies to sleep on his next attack (and you keep defending when using it after guarding). You can keep using Advantage and Viper Cudgel over and over, and if you're lucky, you'll keep the enemy in a sleep-loop until it dies.
• Memetic Badass: Brooks Cracktackle
  • Cook Falsch: He fucked a dragon.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ^Explanation One of the photos the creator used to show off the game had a character named MMMMMMMM. See this thread's second post.
  • Just saying the character names.
• So Bad, It's Good: The crude graphics and sound, goofy character portraits, inherently funny names, and awkwardly written dialogue make for an entertaining trainwreck.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Mikwuyma admitted that the battle system is tactically engaging, the level-up method is creative, and that this could be a good game if more effort were put into it.
  • The stat-up system (gaining stat points when EXP reaches a certain multiple, the ability to convert one stat's points for another) is unique, but it's unfortunately wasted.
• Ugly Cute: The Possessor. There was talk of making a plushie of her.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Several characters, but especially Alberto. Mikwuyma commented that the characters are so androgynous, it's like some kind of David Bowie world.
