Compare Boss Arena Urgency for the times when a boss will make the fight Unwinnable if you take too long and Increasingly Lethal Enemy for when taking too long just makes the fight even harder. In a turn-based game, the time limit can be substituted with a turn limit for the equivalent effect.Ī specific inversion includes battles where victory is achieved when the time runs out and you are left standing. After the time limit runs out, the boss usually escapes or self-destructs, allowing you to proceed to the next level anyway, though often you will be penalized by getting reduced end-of-stage bonuses. This can often turn an enemy that wouldn't normally be difficult to defeat into That One Boss.īoss battles in many a Shoot 'Em Up are timed, usually to prevent you from infinitely "milking" a boss by shooting down projectiles and support enemies without killing it.
The Time-Limit Boss is a combination of Timed Mission and Boss Fight, and involves bosses which have to be beaten within a certain preset period of time (either seconds or turns), or else the boss escapes, turns invincible, or unleashes a One Hit Total Party Kill.
Sometimes your greatest foe is not the Giant Enemy Crab standing in front of you - it's the countdown right above his head.
