8 Random Video Game Enemies Harder Than Any Boss Battle
2. Literally Any Enemy - God Hand
God Hand is such a brilliant odd game.
It's got an utterly ridiculous approach to combat, its characters are off the wall insane, there's chihuahua racing, and you can even nut-kick your enemies to death.
However, for all of the wonderfully weird positives this game has, there are some significant difficulty spikes that often hamper the fun more than is fully acceptable, as alongside a mechanic that makes enemies more and more challenging the better you're doing, there's another wrinkle in the fact that at any time, any enemy can be possessed by a demon and become an absolute beef gate.
These Spectres show up at random and only after a set number of enemies have been killed, and if you're not in the absolute zone will wreck you like a bull in a china shop where the shop itself is also made of china. Therefore a sense of panic often sets in, with players on lower health actively avoiding combat where possible for fear that the Spectre will burst forth, and thus turns any enemy into potentially the most threatening enemy in the game!
Oh and the amount of Spectres per level changes each time you die so you literally have no idea how many will arrive to utterly obliterate you. Have fun with that.
