Line 11:
Oh, and the voice acting's [[So Bad It's Good|terrible]].
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Ghat implements one to return to Halstedom.
* [[After the End]]: From the looks of things, there used to be a comparatively advanced civilization around once.
* [[A Handful for An Eye]]: {{spoiler|employed by the Hunter on you in your last battle}}. ▼
* [[Anime Hair]]: Many of the human and mostly-human characters, particularly Deadra and Rimat.
* [[Avenging the Villain]]: Ghat's siblings are after him for killing their parent.
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: Your primary method of combat. Your enemies tend to use spinning kicks and other elaborate moves, but this avails them little against Ghat's fighting style. This style, taught to him by Metamoq, is to punch people in the head until they are stunned and then bash their faces in with his knee. Very simple, very brutal.
* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: Ghat can take stunned enemies and throw them at other enemies. There's a steam achievement for doing this a lot.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Hunter is blind. Not that it stops him from being a top-notch sniper using his hearing and explosive squirrels. When you fight him in hand-to-hand combat, he's [[Hopeless Boss Fight|unbeatable]].▼
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Hard mode is the default difficulty setting, there is no Easy mode.
▲* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Hunter is blind. Not that it stops him from being a top-notch sniper using his hearing and explosive squirrels. When you fight him in hand-to-hand combat, he's [[Hopeless Boss Fight|unbeatable]].
▲* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]:
** Metamoq's advanced combat training: when you bring him down to sliver of health, [[Turns Red|he makes a few unblockable attacks and pins you down]]. {{spoiler|He then commits suicide.}}
** The second boss fight against Hunter, once he stops holding back. {{spoiler|Luckily Golem intervenes}}.
*** The first clue on this is the absence of a certain item that would make it easier to survive. The second clue is the steam achievement related to the fight.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: At least one Corwid.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Besides the homemade guns, Ghat gets a lot of mileage out of hammers and bone rods that he finds lying about.
* [[In Medias Res]]: The game begins during Ghat's escape from Halstedom after killing Father-Mother.
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: [[Double Subversion]], Ghat notes that the Corwid are no threat because [[It Amused Me|they simply do what they want]] . . . then they decide they ''want'' to attack him.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: One of the Corwid wants to be invisible, so he takes out the eyes of any creature that can see him.
* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]: These mark the borders of many levels. Unlike most Source engine-based games, you don't have the ability to jump in [[Zeno Clash]], even an Insurmountable Knee-High Rock is certain to stop you.
* [[Invulnerable Knuckles]]: Ghat does a LOT of punching in this game, and never shows the slightest discomfort, {{spoiler|not even when a skull-grenade blows up in his hand.}}
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: Go right ahead. [[Fridge Logic|It doesn't do as much damage as a punch and doesn't prevent anyone from getting back up to fight if they still have more than a silver of health,]] but it's a good way to hurt people who [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|can't fight back.]] [[Cherry Tapping|And it can be used to defeat enemies, too.]]
* [[Kung Shui]]: Not much of the environment is destructible, but the parts that are can be messed up by throwing people at them.
Line 67 ⟶ 65:
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: The preferred method of fighting for... pretty much everyone.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]: Liberally applied to your foes. Despite the brutal and bone-crushing nature of the fights, you don't seem to deal any permanent damage, as they can be back up in minutes (plot-wise) to fight you again. And again.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Father-Mother}}.
* [[Pardon My Klingon]] / [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Eat kak, you tef.
* [[Perception Filter]] / [[Exact Words]]: There's that guy who wants to be invisible. Invisibility involves people being not able to see you. Being able to see someone involves having eyes. So... see [[Insane Troll Logic]] above.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: No distinct races are named and many creatures' looks can only be described as "weird", but it's plain that some of them are anthropomorphic animals. Examples include rodent-people, elephant-people, (several kinds of) bird-people, pig-people and more. [[Word of God]] claims they are based on prehistoric mammals and birds.
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: Hitting a stunned enemy does this. It can happen to you too, so watch out.
* [[Punk Punk]]: Well, it's ''some'' sort of punk...
** [[
* [[Rail Shooter]]: A short section has you standing on a boat picking off rock-throwing tribals with a rifle, while [[Mr. Exposition|Golem]] and Deadra have a plot-expanding chat.
** Can also be [[That One Level]] before it was patched, as it was insanely easy to accidentally heave your rifle into the water and spend the entire mission trying to dodge tribals.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Crossbows that fire skulls, seashell pistols, gunpowder rifles made from spines and metal pipes, automated doors which need passwords, bombs made of skulls and... {{spoiler|Rubix cubes}}. All but the {{spoiler|cube}} have a decidedly stone-age aesthetic, being made mostly from [[Bamboo Technology|wood and bones]]. Yes, even the rifles.
* [[The Stoic]]: Golem.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: Absolutely mandatory if you want to live. Fighting honorably with your fists is all very well, but you literally cannot beat your tougher opponents unless you make use of guns, grenades, blunt instruments, and/or the terrain.
** There is a steam achievement for using the bare minimum amount of weaponry to beat the game. There's a handful of enemies that can only be hit (initially, at least) with a weapon.
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: Averted. Any weapon can be knocked out of an opponent's hand (or yours). Any weapon that's lying around can be picked up by anyone (including your enemies).▼
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Subverted, Ghat decides not to reveal Father-Mother's secret, then {{spoiler|Golem steps in to [[Shoot the Dog]] and spill the beans}}.
▲* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: Averted. Any weapon can be knocked out of an opponent's hand (or yours). Any weapon that's lying around can be picked up by anyone (including your enemies).
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Here's how a typical fight goes: you find a guy, you block a punch or two, and then you smack him around until he's too dazed to fight back. Then you grab him and hold him in place while you introduce his nose to your kneecap several times. Then you throw him to the ground, and kick him while he's down until he can't get up anymore. [[Sarcasm Mode|Sounds pleasant, doesn't it?]]
