Beautiful Void: The levels, when cleared of enemies, are often this - featuring monumental architecture and visuals that have generally aged well. |

Annoying Arrows: There is only one type of bow in the game, which deals pitiful damage. Only useful for solving switch puzzles. |

Armor Is Useless |

comment |
Armor Is Useless: Armor subtracts from the strength of enemy attacks. But the enemies use the same powerful weapons as the player (including some of the special moves), so even Sargon's heavy plate doesn't protect much. |

An Axe to Grind: Naglfar and Tukaram are fond of these; the former uses one handed ones, the later prefers huge two handed ones. |
