The Empire has reigned uncontested for far too long and ruined the world under its banner! Tranquil woodlands? Babbling brooks? The constant sounds of laughing babies and loving families? The world is truly the worst it has ever been! Bosslord, this tyranny must come to an end, and your monstrous crew of miscreants is just the group to make that happen!
Bosslords is a roguelite auto battler where you lead the hardworking lowlifes and scoundrels of the world – command goblins and ghouls, raise the dead, and traverse across land, sea, and air to take on the Empire as it sends armies to hunt you down.
Take charge as one of several bosslords, each with their own storyline, abilities, and upgrade trees that will shape your runs alongside unique starting armies and spells. While each is able to recruit a wide range of units and employ varied strategies, they all have their own advantages, preferences, and unique mechanics:
The Goblin General relies on mass numbers of well-trained goblins, able to turn the typically-weak minions into a disciplined mass of hardened troops
The Undead Necromancer can bring an elite guard that recovers after every battle, even if destroyed, using enhanced necromancy to summon and empower additional warriors
The Warlord brings a small but elite force of veterans, making up for their lack of numbers with heightened stats
The Mage is a master of summoning creatures into battle, with more powerful spells and elementals to support him on his warpath
The Dragon Tamer commands an army of lizardmen, ready to be trained into hardened warriors – or fed to his pet dragon to make her stronger as she consumes all
Despite your glorious purpose and unbeatable zeal, you’re nothing without your army. The inns and shops of the realm are full of would-be revolutionaries just waiting for the right person (and the right amount of coin), and you can even find lost souls wandering the lands in search of glory. Orc Drummers in your midst will hasten the attack speed of your units, while Banshees will paralyze enemies, and zombie banner-bearers will bolster allied health. Will you rely on a formation of skeleton bodyguards firing their rifles from the back lines as your spiders slow the enemy down with their webs? Or will your army be known for its dagger-wielding rogues and hulking Minotaurs supported by Goblin Sergeants that bolster their attack?
What kind of bosslord would you be if you didn’t have a few tricks up your sleeve? From the Goblin General’s Flintlock Pistol to the Necromancer’s curse that turns enemies into allied skeleton warriors, unique abilities set each bosslord apart! Gather scrolls on your journey and unlock powerful spells that aid your minions in combat – raise walls of fire, harness the power of lightning, summon a meteor from the skies above, or cause the ground itself to crack open with earthquakes! Further empower your troops with special items – a Potion of Regeneration can keep a formation alive in dire straits, while a healthy serving of Slime Jam will turn fallen allies into slime monsters! Whether you’re coating weapons in poison or cursing enemies’ souls, it sure is good to be bad.
