minibossrussh mission based?

Post by qmish »

Looking for a shmup which would be like boss rush, but more like miniboss rush, and every mission is separate segment (like areas in JS or Eschatos), even better if you can choose start from which. So, each segment is 1x1 fight, and having like 30 or more fights. It can even have actual bosses every 5 segments or so.

Minishoter RS Delta comes to mind.

That's loooong 5 bosses. What I look for, is several douzens short miniboss encounters.

Change Air Blade looks interesting, though shmups.com review says that 1P mode is rushed, and game is concentrated on 2P mode, in which 2P is helping game's AI or smth?!

rRootage is mission-based and each mission is a 5-phase boss fight. You always just play missions individually though, without an arcade mode.

I'd also be interested in examples that more closely fit your criteria.

nah. its just a fair 1v1 fight. There's a whole slew of mechanics in there to discuss but basically one player is a boss and the other is in a weaker position. There are ships that excel at either being the boss or fighting bosses. Food for thought. The positions switch after a round.
