6 itemsAbout the Game
Become the BOSSFIGHT when you win!
Challenge yourself (literally!) as you try to one-up your previous party each time though this sidescrolling turn-based roguelike.
Outsmart enemy intents in a series of tactical combat encounters while assembling synergistic item builds.
Discover the nuances in this highly replayable game, lovingly designed to minimize complexity and maximize depth.
Items, items, items!
In Bossfight Tactics, it's all about the items; there are no character classes/abilities/stats/etc!
Items let you move, attack, gain passive abilities and much more.
With 100+ unique and quirky items, there are tons of emergent interactions to explore.
Instead of fixed movesets, enemies are equipped with random items which drop as loot when defeated.
Encounters are therefore always unique, often surprising, and sometimes hilarious!
Beware though, enemies grow stronger too as you unlock more powerful items.
Inspired by Into the Breach and Slay the Spire, enemies make their intents known, allowing you to plan and outmaneuver them.
Adapt on the fly by tossing the perfect item to an ally in a critical moment!
Or maybe just lob a bomb toward your enemies?
Other Features
A simple and intuitive interface that welcomes players new to the genre!
Unlimited undos for carefree experimentation and those misclick moments
An optional Auto-Battle button in case your brain has melted from all that strategizing. Also useful for discovering interesting moves. (Kinda like ChatGPT for turn-based tactics.)
No story or cut-scenes; every moment an interesting decision!
