10 Video Games That Let You Battle Death Itself!

Dragon's Crown, as you can probably tell by the art style alone, is not a title that does things by half measures. Everything in this high fantasy side scrolling brawler is over the top, and acts as a love letter to both item management fiends and fans of mythic lore.

Therefore, of course you can battle Death itself, this time known as a "Wraith" in equally over the top fashion. The party can encounter this floating God of Death as the boss of Castle Of The Dead: Route B, and it'll likely mop the floor with you on a first run seeing as it's completely invincible.

The narrator even warns you of such and encourages you to escape the room. However, this doesn't mean you've left the Wraith behind as now he will chase you through the stage until you can light holy shrines which finally expose his weak spots. Even then this boss battle is no joke as The Wraith will summon endless undead hordes, freeze you in place with ice magic, and then carve through you with its monstrous scythe.

This boss is ranked as one of the hardest in the game, so stock up and train hard if you're even tempted at taking it on.
