Our take on MidBoss

The defining mechanic is possession: defeating an enemy lets the player take its body and use its abilities, making combat outcomes directly shape the available character powers.

What is MidBoss?

MidBoss is a turn-based RPG and strategy game set in a procedurally generated death labyrinth.

Combat centers on defeating enemies, taking control of their bodies, and gaining access to their abilities. Each run uses generated labyrinth layouts, making the route and encounters part of the game's structure. The core loop combines tactical turns with changing character capabilities as possession changes the available powers.

How MidBoss plays

01Enemy Possession: Defeated foes can become vessels for the player character.
02Stolen Abilities: Taking an enemy's body also grants access to that body's abilities.
03Generated Labyrinths: The death labyrinth is procedurally created rather than using one fixed layout.
