"Only Boss Battles" Videogame List

[SweetShark]

After I saw the new game Furi and Prey for the Gods, I decided to make a new list on Pinterest which it will include games which the majority of tjeor gameplay are Boss fights.
The games can be from action fighting game to the most casual games for cellphones. In other words, amything that is available.
I would love to hear your suggestions to help me to create a satisfying big list.
Thank you for your help!
|The List below:

If I understood this right, it will be games like Dark Souls right?

Let see (and to ninja everybody)-
Titan Soul
Shadow of the Colossus
No More Heroes 1 and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggles
Monster hunter franchise? I mean every monsters is kinda treated like a boss including the starters one (not the minions) as you learn their attack patters and gear up accordingly.

Not sure if Jotun count. I saw it on my mate Steam and I liked what I saw from the trailer and it does look like a bosses fight sort of game.

Not like Dark Souls because even the weakest enemy can outright murder you if you are careless...
Titan, Jotun and shadow are good examples.
No more heroes games aren'tt exactly only Boss battles, so I won't put on the list.
I never played a Monster Hunter game so I don't know about this one...

Sorry if I sound/write like a robot.....
Writing with a cellphone can be tricky sometimes.....

I never played a Monster Hunter game so I don't know about this one...

I guess Monster Hunter may not count? While most of the quest involve killing the monsters but there are other quest involve gathering mats or killing several of the minion type of monsters. Granted I never once get killed by minion monsterd alone, usually when the bosses deal alot of damaged and a minion just poke my last health before I get to heal!

Speaking of Monster Hunter, I just remember another similar game called God Eater but again I never played the game (a Playstation exclusive) so I don' know if it involved only bosses.

Truth to be told, I found some good results by google it ....
However I still remember are a lot of arcade games which were only Boss fights.
SonI need to search for more!!!

Aaaand I just saw a Destructoid writer made a article ask about favourite Boss fights only games.....
Too much material for my List then!!! JOY!!!

I found a lot of titles I can include indeed, but it seems even it have a lot of them, it fails to include some very well known games.
For example I didn't see anywhere to mention ay least ones the 2008 Prince of Persia. What a shame. I need to search more then

Ther are a lot of monster hunter "clones" I can think of, bit as younsaid I never played any of them. Maybe Soul Sacrifices is also siitable for the list, but I don't know.....

Surprised no one has mentioned Cuphead

Reading the destructoid article, I never thought of including Punch Out... but if that count, I guess most fighting games do too.

 

[RaikuFA]

Mega Man The Power Fighters.

 

[gsilver]

Surprised no one has mentioned Cuphead.

The latest trailer showed stage gameplay, so it won't all be bosses:

Dead Rising? The games boil down to "fight the next boss" if you just run past the zombies (which most people end up doing).

 

[Kae]

Well people are forgetting the single best boss rush game ever made which is...

Alien Soldier for the Sega Genesis, a run and gun boss rush game in the vein of Contra and Gunstar Heroes but with more depth to the controls, good stuff and actually it was made by Treasure much like Gunstar Heroes, anyway give it a try it's available for like $2.99 on Steam and it's definitely worth that much.

I find it amusing that nobody has thought of the latest Prince of Persia, which didn't have the decency to have something unique in the title.

I remember nothing of that game, other than her ability to teleport around and grab me, keeping me from dying. Everything else about that game is totally forgettable

at very least No More Heroes should get an honorable mention though.

I mean it's boss battles are basically the whole thing.

In Punch-Out you fight only NPCs, so technically it count.
Cuphead it have indeed normal Platform stages, so maybe I will put it later.

 

[SweetShark]

Btw, in the list I will include even Eroge games if they meet the Theme I want to have.
Just to let you knoe because I found some games like that after some search.
The Problem is how I will present them in my list....

 

[SweetShark]

I just created the List I was talking about. Only 8 entries right now, but more for the future.
Cheers!!!
