Is The Final Boss worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want to control a final boss instead of a hero

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad campaign may find the room-defense structure narrow.
- Players who dislike repeating defenses against incoming enemies may lose interest in the central encounter loop.
- Players looking for a game focused on controlling a hero may not fit the final-boss premise.
Our take on The Final Boss
Players seeking varied mission locations may hit a wall after the three scenarios: fantasy, space, and modern. Those looking for changing objectives may also bounce off the repeated defense loop, where heroes continue approaching the boss's room.
What is The Final Boss?
Play as a final boss while heroes attack the room.
Defeat them to earn gold and buy new skills. Place weapons so enemies are attacked before they get close, teleport away when needed, or use a missile when the situation becomes intense. The game includes 6 bosses, each with a different play style, and 3 scenarios covering fantasy, space, and modern settings. Endless mode can be unlocked. The game is a tribute to '80s games.
