Others completely change how the boss works. Sometimes the bosses simply get faster and fire more bullets. The fight instead becomes waiting for an opening or counterable attack so you can strike.Īfter each health bar is depleted, the boss’s tactics change and you’ll need to adapt accordingly. You lose the ability to use your gun, but you also don’t need to chase your enemy down anymore. This is now the only area within which you can move, and the fight becomes much more close-quarters. This phase of the fight shifts the camera closer and a circle appears on the floor. Once you’ve taken off that blue bar, you get to an orange bar. This phase is usually a projectile-ridden chase to get close enough to the boss to get in some heavy hitting melee damage.

The first phase of each peg, represented with a blue health bar, lets you and the boss free roam around your battle arena.
Unfortunately, the same also goes for bosses knocking off your health bar.įights have two modes that switch between one pixel’s two health bars. If you can take off a boss’s health bar, yours is restored. Bosses have far more pegs and two bars per pixel, meaning it’s an uphill battle from the start. Your health is a standard health bar, with three bars available, represented by pixels. The bosses in Furi each fight differently and evolve over the course of the battle. If you parry at the wrong time or throw out too many slashes, chances are you’ll end up getting punished quite a bit for it. Learning when to use these abilities with each of the bosses is pivotal to survive in Furi. It’s a lot of possible actions, but they’re all easy to remember and to get used to.
Finally, you have a gun, which you can either rapid fire by holding a direction with the stick, or you can charge it with the shoulder buttons. You can parry, allowing you to block melee attacks and earn health back in the process. There’s a dodge dash, which Nightcrawler-style teleports you forward a set distance, letting you move quickly and dodge through projectiles. There’s a charged slash, which can throw enemies off balance and open them up to further attacks. You have your basic sword slash, which combos for a few hits before ending in a more powerful slam. Your character has a good variety of moves he can perform, each of which are useful in specific situations. In a game where boss fights are everything, thankfully they’re all a blast to play. Boss fights are fast-paced, all kinds of varied, challenging and your abilities can be used in just as many situations. Thankfully, Furi doesn’t disappoint on that front. In-Depth, Evolving Combatįor a game that almost entirely combats, you’d expect that combat to be pretty involved as a result. As you walk up to a big circular arena, The Chain will yell at you for breaking free. You don’t really have a choice, to be fair, seeing as you and The Chain are on a tiny floating island together. He frees you from your shackles, gives you a sword and gun, and tells you to kill The Chain to escape. Rather, he seems to be some sort of ethereal trickster type, appearing and disappearing as he chooses, usually punctuated by a riddle or something equally mysterious. While his purple color scheme may remind Nintendo veterans of Ravio or Nabbit, this man is definitely NOT Nabbit. Your character isn’t any different either, sporting a glowing torso, standout white hair, and a dapper red cape.Īs The Chain finishes you, you’re visited by a mysterious man sporting a large fuzzy rabbit hat. The striking, complex design of what ends up just being the game’s tutorial boss sets you up for the rest of the game’s marvelously detailed and gorgeous characters. The assailant? A cruel jailer known only as The Chain, wearing headgear that rotates three masks to where his face ought to be.
As soon as you get past the title screen, your nameless and imprisoned character is already being beaten on. Mystery Man, Mysterious Worldįuri doesn’t waste any time dropping you into its world. But for Furi, it results in a laser-focused game that for the most part, cuts right to the chase. For most other games, this would be disastrous. In fact, Furi loves boss fights so much, that it’s basically tossed out everything else but them. Not every game has em, but chances are that, if you’re here, you’ve done a boss fight before. They’re a staple of pretty much every genre of game.
