David Versus Goliath: From the second boss onwards, each and every boss battle is against an enemy several times larger than Arnold, the bigger of the two heroes.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown
 Blade Master (Video Game) / int_25524784
comment
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Or No Holds Barred Stab Down, both Roy and Arnold have a special move where after knocking over an enemy, they then sat on their opponent and repeatedly thrushes their sword / ax downwards, causing plenty of damage on their target. It works even on bosses that towers over both heroes.

Degraded Boss
 Blade Master (Video Game) / int_3babae20
comment
Degraded Boss: The first boss (some eldritch fish-human-demon hybrid) isn't that tough when fought at the end of the first level, but from the fourth stage onwards they return as Elite Mook enemies. The second boss (the Animated Armor) doesn't get degraded as much as the first, but when it's fought again it's treated as lackeys of greater bosses. Two of them serves as a Dual Boss at the end of a later level, and towards the end of the game three of them forms a Wolfpack Boss.

Shield-Bearing Mook: Lizard men armed with shields are another enemy type, which gives them slightly better defense when Roy and Arnold tries slashing at them. Still useless when the heroes use grappling moves, though.

The Unfought: The King of Demons, despite being mentioned in the narration and being the driving force of behind the army of chaotics repeatedly plaguing the land, never shows up even once during the game. In fact, after the final level, the Demon King is quickly re-sealed by Princess Emina, an event informed to the audience via scrolling text.

Dual Boss: Later in the game, the living armour will appear, two at once, attacking Roy and Arnold together. And then three more before the final encounter, although they're a better fit as Wolfpack Boss at that point. The two Gorgons (one of which is Princess Emina as result of a curse) serving as the Final Boss.

Stationary Boss: The fish monster boss and the giant squid in the moat is incapable of moving to the surface to attack Roy and Arnold, but they're still difficult to beat despite being stationary — the fish monster can further extend its neck to bite the heroes, while the squid has Combat Tentacles spanning all over the area.

Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: Arnold the barbarian's preferred weapon is a heavy poleax which can swat entire groups of lesser enemies aside with ease. There's also a special attack for Arnold to perform a downward skewer attack pinning mooks to the floor with the ax which deals massive damage. The giant living armors all use dual axes as weapons.

Warmup Boss: The first boss, an eldritch orange fish-human-hybrid monster-thing, who despite looking scary really isn't much of a challenge. Players using either Roy or Arnold can easily take it down by spamming their attack buttons with minimal (or zero) health loss. Later on, several copies of the first boss will return, but they're hardly challenging even then.
