A game is only as good as its bosses. No matter how likable the protagonist, no matter how difficult the endless hordes of enemies or clever the puzzles, a game isn't great unless it has a memorable boss. The upcoming 2D platformer Fenix Rage has nine.

Green Lava Studios wants you to get angry. It wants you to get that madness-induced, 'how do I beat this g-d-- thing?!' sensation that only the best, most ingenious bosses can give you. True to the game's title, it wants you to rage.
Per the release, "Fenix Rage features nine devious boss encounters that will shake out the soft, weak, 'hand-held' gamer, and temper players into steely-eyed, grim-faced, ice-running-through-their-veins hardcore gaming savants."
Alien: Isolation Video Asks 'How Will You Survive'?
Bold words indeed, Green Lava Studios. Bold words.
The trailer shows off some of the monsters, who will not only take you on head to head, but also chase you through the endless corridors and traps in the over hundred levels of gameplay. They all look some twisted version of a Beholder, the floating-eye beasties from Dungeons & Dragons. Watching your character, a small mousey thing named Fenix Rage, duck and dodge the endless onslaught is rather satisfying to watch. A true David and Goliath story.
Fenix Rage is hitting Steam on September 24, and will be on next-gen consoles sometime early 2015. GameNGuide will have a review up for you and let you know if it's worth it. But I can say that right now, it's an anticipated game. Bring it on, Fenix Rage. Bring it the hell on.
