So we can all agree that the combat in this game is amazing, right? Most of you have probably seen Blanc's, Rexlent's or other videos where they bully the Mother Orb or other bosses with a single character, but there is not much incentive to actually do that in the game (aside from simply having fun with it - which is great! but!).
Many characters have very fun kits on their own, but they are often reduced to QTE slaves or simply powercreeped and not very worth your resources to build and use them in most of the content.
There could be a way for a somewhat easy and cheap implementation of solo boss challenges for every frame - either one boss with a few difficulty ranks, or different boss for each.
(it could be one difficulty rank each for S, SS, etc.).
A successful clear would give us an achievement.
-
it would give people incentive to upgrade every frame, no matter new or old
-
it would increase the overall playtime and engagement with very little development costs (most of the systems and assets are already in the game)
-
it could be a great way for people to master both characters and bosses and appreciate them from a slightly different angle
-
there would be more interest in boss guides, since right now you can kinda power through them with a full team, without learning their entire movesets
-
the rewards could be small, like a couple of blue tickets per achievement (like we have for getting characters to S+ ranks), OR simply name tags to let us flex mastering our favorite characters
There are many potential spins on that formula, like adding buffs to bosses (in Limit Break event style) etc.
Would anybody be interested in this type of gameplay? Or is it just my masochist soulsborne fan brain?
