Boss rushes are prone to feeling like filler content in a video game. It’s very easy to slap in some bosses back to back, call it a day, and get an underwhelming segment of a game. Not that that never works, but designing a great boss rush requires a delicate touch to avoid feeling like a game is repeating itself. Let’s talk about how to get the band back together and design a top-tier boss rush.
