Atlantis Studio :
One Boss One Fight is a fast-paced action roguelike that takes players into an epic showdown with none other than Death itself. The entire game revolves around a single, high-stakes battle, with each phase becoming more challenging and intense. The game’s fresh take on the genre emphasizes precision, strategy, and adaptability.
What Makes One Boss One Fight Unique?
Unlike most roguelikes, OBOF skips the traditional dungeon crawling or exploration elements. Instead, it puts players directly into the heart of the action, one epic boss battle. This gives the game a unique focus: mastering one ultimate fight, learning its patterns, and figuring out how to adapt to its increasing complexity.
Here are some key features that make OBOF stand out:
Dynamic Progression: Throughout the battle, you’ll unlock new abilities, power-ups, and enhancements, ensuring that every fight feels different. Whether you’re summoning a massive hammer, launching a barrage of arrows, or raising a defensive shield, every upgrade gives you more control over the battlefield.
Unique Benedictions: Defeating mini-bosses during the fight grants you benedictions, powerful passive abilities that slowly chip away at Death’s health or alter the flow of combat. With 16 different benedictions, you’ll always have new strategies to explore.
Challenging Phases: The fight against Death is divided into multiple phases, each introducing new hazards and mechanics. What starts as a battle in a serene meadow soon turns into a struggle through a fiery hellscape. Each stage not only ramps up the difficulty but also adds environmental threats, like falling meteors or shifting floors, to keep players on their toes.
Precision and Mastery: OBOF emphasizes skillful play. Telegraphed attacks and predictable patterns give players the chance to read the situation, but reacting in time is the real test. Victory is earned through mastering your abilities and anticipating Death’s next move.
The Demo Is Out!
The demo is currently available on Steam, and we’ve already had over 1,000 players wishlist the game, with more coming in every day. The feedback so far has been fantastic, and the community response has been a driving force behind improvements and updates.
In the demo, players can experience a portion of the intense final boss battle, allowing them to get a feel for the mechanics, strategy, and complexity that will define the full release. We’re aiming for a late November launch, and we’re excited to see more players dive into this experience.
Hard Mode and Beyond
For those who love a challenge, the game also features a Hard Mode, known as the Pact of Death, which unlocks after defeating the boss for the first time. This mode allows players to tweak the difficulty by applying penalties, such as introducing environmental hazards like blizzards or thunderstorms. It’s designed for those who want to push their skills to the absolute limit.
What’s Next?
As we approach the game’s launch, we’ll be releasing more updates and refining the core experience based on the feedback we receive. If you haven’t yet, make sure to try the demo and add OBOF to your Steam wishlist!
