8 Hardest Video Game Boss Battles Of 2017 (So Far)

3. Devil Kazuya - Tekken 7

Despite Tekken 7's campaign being pretty terrible, it does deliver on the main message of all that marketing: The final, most epic of showdowns between Heihachi and Kazuya.

Taking place inside a volcano (where else?), Kazuya eventually transforms into his Devil form - though that's when you enter into the most frustrating of lessons from the design school of 'Hard Fighting Game Boss'.

99% of the time you'll connect with kicks and punches, but thanks to Kazuya's various wind-ups and moves being tagged with the 'Power Crush' modifier, it means he'll barrel on through as though nothing had happened. Should his moves then connect, you'll go flying - only to be juggled by uppercuts, eye-lasers, flying charges and more.

That, and thanks to Tekken 7's new Rage Arts super moves that activate when any character is on low health, Kazuya's can take your entire life bar if the A.I. decides to use it before the end.

Good luck getting through this without unleashing your own inner demons.
