Tropes used in Hunted: The Demon's Forge include:
  • Action Girl: E'lara
  • The Archer: E'lara subverts this: she is almost never calm, cold or collected but is regularly looking for something to blow up.
  • Fan Service: E'lara and Seraphine.
    • E'lara even points out that Seraphine is wearing a 'slutty outfit.' Caddoc scoffs and E'lara replies, "My outfit isn't slutty...it's strategically placed."
  • Genre Savvy: As Caddoc an E'lara near the final boss area, E'lara notes that there is chanting and Caddoc replies that chanting is never good.
  • Guys Smash, Girls Shoot
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When you approach one of the many large doors that block your path Caddoc will wonder who built all these really heavy doors.
    • E'lara will threaten to kill their creator on another occasion
    • E'lara thinks it's cheating when they walk right past 2 sleeping dragons because she can control them with the Death Stone.
  • No Arc in Archery: The arrows fired by E'lara's bow and Caddoc's crossbow are always straight and true.
  • Shout-Out: One of the dead that the player can interact with using the Death Stone mentions a Witch-King
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Inverted. Caddoc is the somber blue oni, E'lara is the thrill-seeking red oni.
  • Weapon of Choice: Caddoc has a sword and shield, while E'lara uses bows and arrows. Subverted in that their weapons don't reflect their personalities.
