Bosses and Mobs: Part II
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a cyborg!?
Today’s topic is indeed the airborne opponents you will encounter in Blast Brigade. Flying enemies do not only have speed on their side but also immense maneuverability – they can attack you from various angles, making the fights even more dynamic.
Most common of these folks are mutant flies that adapted to various biomes across the island. Be it jungles or snowy wastes – these nasty insects will locate you and try to feed on you. Take extra care with the mother bugs – upon elimination they shoot out their offspring at you!
However, the true danger of the airspace above Dr. Cread’s island is the elusive Icarus. This menacing sky hunter possesses a humanoid metal body sporting the blood red color as well as a pair of enormous wings. Don’t spend too much time in awe though as they are as marvelous as they are deadly.
Icarus, whose name takes inspiration from the ancient Greek myth, is a boss shrouded in mystery. It is rumored that he is one of Seven Savage Cyborgs – an elite taskforce personally “manufactured” by Dr. Cread from his nemeses and people of interest. Most of these bosses share the signature visual style that the evil genius marked them with and Icarus is no exception.
Out of the Seven, little to nothing is known about Icarus. Some say that he used to be an American pilot or maybe even an astronaut. Others speculate that he studied with Cread in elementary school, earning future villain’s wrath for some misdoing… and paying for it dearly many years later. Whatever the case, out of Seven Cyborgs, Icarus is the one who gets the most unpleasant or routine tasks. Tough luck!
But honestly we don’t believe in luck – reliable information is much more important. Our intel suggests that Icarus can be found guarding some prototype in the Drilling Station – a location packed with Dr. Cread’s Legion forces. As one of the Legion’s commanders Icarus boasts airtight security, so even getting to him will prove to be a challenge. A challenge you will surely overcome, given the personnel and resources available.
And that’s it for now! Next week we’ll go into a far more toxic territory… so prepare your eyes AND your noses. Stay tuned!
