MidBoss Gameplay Trailer:
MidBoss is a turn-based, strategic roguelike about a lowly imp’s quest to become the final boss of a dungeon. The imp must use its power to possess other creatures and master their abilities. Only by delving down into the depths of the dungeon and climbing the ladder of power can the imp rise above the meanies that make its life miserable.
Patch 1.2 also introduces the long-awaited potion throwing system, allowing the imp to test unidentified potions on others instead of risking its own life. The legendary Alchemist’s Manual grants a splash effect for thrown potions to whoever wields it.
Other additions include new monster abilities and the enhancement of some weapons to inflict status effects like burning and poison. Fast travel allows the imp to backtrack more easily. Faster combat animation options allow the imp to progress more swiftly. Last but not least, a mysterious floppy disk item now grants access to MidOS.
MidBoss is available for Linux, Ubuntu, Mac and Windows. The games release is on Steam, Humble Store and itch.io for $14.99 USD. Also discounted 35%.
