You Are the Boss in Boss Saga!
Have you ever played an RPG, fought a huge and fearsome boss, and thought to yourself, “Boy, I wish I could just play as that instead”? Boss Saga is the game that will finally let you do that!
Destroy the Heroes in Meticulously Crafted Battles
Boss Saga is a game exclusively about epic JRPG-style boss battles where you play as the boss, defeating a team of heroes who have underestimated your awesome power. Each battle is being meticulously crafted as its own engaging challenge to solve, where you have to use the unique powers at your boss’s disposal to defeat the specialized threat that the heroes pose. Boss Saga will ultimately include a wide multitude of different bosses fighting an even wider assortment of heroes!
Experience Stories About Power and Consequences
Story is an integral aspect of Boss Saga. Boss battles are set across many different worlds, with self-contained narratives set in many different genres with different tones. Comedy, drama, romance, horror, fantasy, and sci-fi all appear in different doses depending on the episode. Some stories will be screwball silliness, while many more will examine the complicated ideology that bosses represent, as well as the moral consequences of what happens when the boss wins.
Rock Out with Retro and Modern Soundtracks Options
Boss Saga has a powerful retro aesthetic in its art style, and that aesthetic will extend to its rocking soundtrack — if you prefer! At the press of a button during gameplay, you will instantly be able to alternate between two different versions of the soundtrack: a retro 16-bit style and a rich, modern style. That’s two soundtracks in one game!
