Boss design

Previously, everybody suspected that boss design is limited in this genre. But with this game, KONAMI looks to change the game. They designed a boss befitting the title. And it looks scary.

The boss seems like a humungous bug with further tentacles forming arcs behind it. And during the fight, you get a head-on view showing the promise of creative gameplay. And just like that, the age changes.

This comes as a breath of fresh air as the genre finally gets a revival. It looks amazing and the promise of creativity is off the charts. It is simply just a wait of time.
