BOSS CHALLENGE MODE:

Pits players against 19 bosses from the base game

Progression in Boss Challenge requires battle data from bosses you’ve previously defeated. Players can also fight bosses on Hard difficulty after you’ve seen the ending of the game.

Players can start the challenge by either loading up and using their own gear, or choose one of sevewral presets. You can even choose the minimum preset for a true challenge. On the maximum preset which has all all Eve’s skills and stats buffed up, players can expect an easier time, which is perfect for pulling of awesome combos.

Once the challenge is done, the battle data is analyzed which will give players metrics on how they did. You’ll see battle time, number of perfect parries, dodges, consumable usage and more.

Boss Challenge Reward:

For players who defeat all the bosses on Normal difficulty or higher, you’ll get the Neurolink Suit for Eve.

There are also new Nano Suits added: White Kunoichi and Black Kunoichi.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Switching to ranged attack mode and switch back while locked on to an enemy, players will automatically lock on to the enemy again
  • Option to always show the compass in the HUD has been added.
