The bosses in the most challenging mode of difficulty of the upcoming PS5 game Phantom Blade Zero were compared with an opponent in a fighting game, not a meeting that you can learn attack patterns and ultimately the master.
Speaking in the issue of PC Gamer magazine (transcribed by Gamesradar), the director of Qiwei Liang touches on a specific boss called Huangxing. “In his normal difficulty, he has some souls similar to him: he has established combinations, and if you fight him enough time, you will come up with his combinations.”
However, in the most challenging difficulty mode of Hellwalker, Huangxing’s artificial intelligence is updated to analyze the situation in which it is found and adapt. Different attacks will be used depending on the circumstances, and the state called “Lucky Loss” uses the result of its last attack to determine what to do next “. If the attack lands, the combination will continue. If not, the boss will try something else. According to Liang, the idea comes from martial games and was fully included in artificial intelligence.
