What are your favorite games which have this format:

BOSS FIGHT -> BOSS FIGHT -> BOSS FIGHT -> BOSS FIGHT -> BOSS FIGHT -> BOSS FIGHT -> ...

RSG is a great one but they dont have to be shmups, Alien solider too, I'd add SotC if it were older too.

Treasure games are great at this.

And WHY THE FUCK AM I SEEING 360 BUTTONS ON THAT SCREEN? I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS ON XBOX!

yeah, that's why I love treasure so much. I'm trying to expand my horizons though.

I can say another great one for this Guwange.

boss battle based games are rare because each boss has to be carefully built and tested separately.

I kind of doubt that RPGs usually have a lot of grinding

Okay?

On topic, Contra Hard Corps was absolutely chock full of boss encounters.

is no one else a fan of this type of game?

I got some depressing stuff on google about people hating boss fights..

You should try Warning Forever. IT is fucking amazing. Boss battle after boss battle. And the bosses evolve based on how you tackle the previous ones.

Ys has great boss fights, although a lot of boss fights in Ys II are run around and shoot magic all day.

>that feel when good boss fights are a dying breed because modern western devs can't design them

It's not short for anything; Ys is a franchise of action RPGs by Falcom.

The boss fights were still difficult and all, but it felt like I was playing Mega Man instead of being a swordsman. Darm is a fucking excellent final boss, though.
