MidBoss

MidBoss is a turn-based, procedurally generated death labyrinth. You play as an imp, the dungeon’s weakest monster, and descend with your sidekick Mid to defeat the final boss and take his place. Kill enemies and possess their bodies to gain their abilities. The game is designed to be approachable for newcomers to traditional roguelikes while offering the depth and complexity expected by experienced players.

Possess your enemies

Possessing an enemy gives you its strengths and skills. You can discover and learn over 60 unique abilities. The dungeon also contains traps, unidentified and cursed items, and crates, chests and other containers to loot. A royal chest spawns on every floor.

Choose your mode

The game offers three modes with different life limits and rules:

• Hardcore: one life.
• 1UP: five lives.
• Narrative: infinite lives and buffs to help you explore the game.

Custom Games let you set up a run to your preferences. Potions are randomized each game, though this feature is optional.

Record each run

Shareable death cards document your run and how it ended. You can load a card to view its stats or replay using the same seed and settings, and customize cards with unlockable themes. You can also spend death cards to begin your next run with items you had when you died.

Beating the game earns a special card that unlocks a new game+ mode. In it, you can start over with your items, abilities or both.

Additional features

The dynamic music system raises the musical excitement when enemies are nearby. You can unlock 12 retro mode filters, and the game also features Cratefish. Mouse and keyboard controls are supported, with the option to use either or both.
