Promised back by Nintendo, Metroid Dread finally received a free update that gains not only Boss Rush but 3 more variant of the mode when you can revisit bosses of the latest adventure of Samus Aran.
Boss Rush in a TLDR, is a mode where you face all bosses in a row and beat them in the fastest time possible.
“At the end of each battle, your missiles will be restored, but any damage you’ve taken will be carried over to the next boss fight. Each battle can add to the players max missiles, Energy Tank, and Power Bombs, depending on where the boss is in the main game.”
And the new mode called Survival Mode, where each boss you defeat will add a bit more time to your clock. And if you’re able to defeat a boss without taking damage, you’ll get even more time added to your clock. In this mode, missiles and health do not recover between bosses.
Also, Dread Rush is basically Boss Rush with one-hit kills. Twelve bosses await Samus in Dread Rush, and a single hit from one of them means “game over.”
And finally, there’s Practice Mode, which sounds ideal for perfecting your tactics against boss No. 11 in that 12-boss gauntlet in Dread Rush.
Enjoy your challenges!
