Endless Boss Fight is a new iOS game developed by Whitemilk Games and published by Kongregate that pits you with the task the title of the game so bluntly states: endure an endless boss fight for as long as possible. It is a standout visually, but some control issues and thin design hold it back.
David: The frustrating thing about beat ‘em up games is that you have to go through a long line of cannon fodder before facing the boss, who is usually the only character that will be able to pose a challenge to your skills. With Endless Boss Fight, however, every fight is a boss fight, hence the name. What’s even better is that you can also set your personal enemy boss against other players, making him work for you in the process. You can also challenge other players’ bosses just to make them see who the real boss around these parts is.
A boss fight is a cathartic moment, created to punctuate a game in a satisfying and memorable way. An unwinnable boss fight might seem like it would defeat that purpose, but the team at White Milk Games has taken that concept and made an entire game out of it.
It is easy to play Endless Boss Fight at first and think that it’s merely just that: a beat ’em up against one boss ad nauseam. And to a certain degree, it is. But its very cool asynchronous multiplayer mode makes it more than just a repetitive beat ‘em up.
