Movement: Slightly slower than Fang.
2.1. Melee Attack: 10% health damage (Only melee Grunts).
2.2. Ranged Attack: (Only ranged Grunts).
- Movement: Same as onimaru.
- Ranged Attack: Beam of energy (like lasers).
- Melee Attack: A strong dashing melee attack. Dash+sword. AI: The Special will shoot while he is at distance form the player. Between each shot, he will move closer to the player and shoot again. If he gets close enough to the player, or the player approaches him, he will start spamming the melee attack. The distance to switch to this behavior is the distance that he can move with the dashing part of the attack. If the player manages to move away from it, it will start shooting again.
Three collectibles can be found hidden throughout each Level. They are called "Upgrade Cells". When finding all 3 Cells of one level, both Fang and Onimaru will recieve a permanent upgrade in one of their skills, that can be accumulated through the following stages of the game. This upgrade is recieved at the moment the last Cell is found.
-
Level 1 Upgrades
- Fang: Dash - hurts enemies that it touches.
- Onimaru: Shield - bounces bullets.
-
Level 2 Upgrades
- Fang: PEM Field - Damage increase to enemies affected
- Onimaru: Energy Blast - Damage increase to enemies affected
- Relatively slow energy sphere (similar to ranged but faster)
- Random tiles flamethrower from the floor
- Super punch.
- Duke calls Milibot troops (melee, ranged and special)
- Lasers on the walls
- Starts shooting, in a cone, energy spheres and beams defined patterns (bullet hell attack).
- Barrel throwing
- See section below
The boss needs defensive capabilities (or attack without interruption) and mechanisms to detect the counter-pattern of the player and do something about it.
- Shield (90 degrees coverage) (appears from the weapon).
- Phase change. Will have multiple phases that activate when certain requirements are met.
- Troops spawning is a mechanism to protect himself while attacking.
Kill Duke by lowering his health bar. When he reaches certain thresholds he changes phase, adding new attacks to his repertoire.
Duke has a strong-built figure and is slightly larger than Onimaru. He has strange proportions compared to a human (abnormally large arms and torso).
Protected behind a laser barrier at the other end of the room, Duke is preparing himself for battle. A mechanical contraption attaches a laser machine gun to his left arm and a sword on his right. The laser barrier disappears and Duke jumps down to the arena.
Duke fires his ranged weapon at you constantly while moving around. If he receives 5%hp damage really fast he activates a shield for a number of seconds and stops moving (continues shooting).
If you get too close he will slash you with his sword (shield-breaking). Below 85%hp, random tiles on the map will start spitting fire and every X seconds Duke will perform a bullet hell attack.
Repeat the following:
-
Fire spitting tiles stop. Duke retreats to the far wall and shields himself, then enemies start jumping in (a finite number). Duke throws explosive barrels while shielding.
-
When you clear the enemy troops, a momentary break while Duke lowers his barrier. Then, random tiles on the map will start spitting fire every X seconds. Duke proceeds like in phase 1. But every time Onimaru shields up for Y seconds, Duke will charge him, perform a shield-breaking weapon attack.
-
Under 60% start in 1 but with Lasers on the walls activated. And change this condition to 50%.
Duke goes wild. Both Lasers on the walls and fire-spitting tiles on the map activated.
Duke starts combining charging to you+melee weapon attack, shoot, and bullet-hell attack. When he loses 10%hp he calls milibot troops and changes its pattern to shielding/moving+shooting combined with the bullet hell attack. Uses melee weapon attack if the player approaches. When he loses 10%hp starts at 1 again.
Option A: The fancy one When lowering Duke’s hp bar to 0, a cutscene triggers:
Duke falls to the ground backwards, clearly hurt. A flash happens offscreen (the character swap effect), and both Fang and Onimaru approach him.
Onimaru: Beep boop something something
Duke: Let me go! I’ll pay you double what she offers!
Fang: We came for something better than money.
Fang shoots Duke in the head.
Damage
Duke suffers damage from 0-nimaru and Fang's attacks. However, while he is charging or shooting the Bullet hell, the damage is halved.
EMP
Duke is affected by the EMP unless he is outside of the map throwing barrels or charging. If you have the EMP upgrade, he will suffer double damage while stunned.
Blast
Blast pushes Duke like any other enemy, unless he is charging or throwing barrels.
The loose condition in the game is to get both Characters killed. When one of the characters is killed, it will be automatically switched for the other one. The dead character will start recovering HP as usual, but will not be available until it has recovered full life. If by that time the second character is also killed, the player will not have more available characters and it will be GAME OVER.
