The Overwatch player Seita has created an exciting boss fight using the workshop of the online shooter, reminiscent of MMORPGs.
What kind of boss fight is this? What the Overwatch player Seita has created with the workshop of the online shooter strongly resembles boss fights in World of Warcraft.
In colorful comic graphics, five heroes face off against a gigantic Reinhardt in four difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Heroic and Mythic) who has an extremely high amount of health.
During the fight, Hanzo’s Dragon Strike ultimate occasionally spawns and at certain points in the arena, Doomfist’s meteors suddenly fall from the sky or a minefield is created.
Furthermore, Genjis continuously rush into the fight, making your life more difficult.
A Boss Fight Like in an MMORPG
How does the fight go? You need to try to whittle down the boss Reinhardt’s health as quickly as possible. Once his health drops to 40%, Sigma rocks will start raining down from the sky.
If you manage to reduce Reinhardt to 15% of his health points, everything mentioned so far comes together in an epic finale:
- Meteors and Sigma rocks fall from the sky
- Hanzo’s ultimate strikes again
- Genjis rush at you
- Reinhardt himself also attacks fiercely
You need to initiate the final attack as quickly as possible.
What makes this fight special? As you can see from the description, this is a boss fight that strongly resembles MMORPGs.
This shows that Overwatch has much more to offer than just the competitive shooter. With his work, Seita gives us a taste of what we might expect in the PvE of Overwatch 2.
The successor to Blizzard’s shooter focuses not only on PvP clashes but also offers a story that you experience through PvE missions – even though Overwatch recently lost two important writers. Boss fights like Seita’s could definitely be possible in the new game.
How did Seita do this? The Overwatch player used the workshop of the online shooter. This is a scripting system that allows you to create your own game modes and more for Overwatch.
On the Overwatch website, this is explained to you using the game mode “The Floor is Lava”.
As you can see, the workshop makes it possible to create even more complex things like challenging MMO boss fights.
How is Seita’s boss fight being received? Players are excited about what Seita has created here.
