10 Incredible Bosses In Terrible Video Games
10. NeverDead - Sangria
NeverDead could have been so much more. The protagonist is immortal, with limbs that detach like a crash test dummy. But more so, can be reattached in wacky ways. Rolling around as a head with two arms attached, firing guns sounds cool, right? It should be, but it isn't.
Nothing about NeverDead really merits replayability, or even a first playthrough for the curious. A neat idea terribly executed, even the majority of its boss fights are boring. Except for one...
Sangria.
Not the fruity drink, but the fruity jester that Bryce has to take on later in the game. It's a standard boss fight against a nimble boss, but it's definitely entertaining.
Channeling Capcom's Dead Rising series, Sangria will hurl abuse and taunts, disappear out of line of sight, throw things and tackle Boltzmann to the point of him exploding into limbs.
It can get frustrating, as you carefully put Bryce back together only to be popped again, but it's part of the charm. It's a challenge in an otherwise uneventful and bland game, that someone as strange looking as Sangria is the standout point.
