Frustration continues to mount among gamers regarding the bosses in Mandragora, as many deem the battles overly simple and uninspired. Discussions on various forums are rife with complaints about repetitive mechanics, dull encounters, and a significant lack of challenge as players push for better-designed boss fights.

Combat Mechanics Under Fire

After about six hours of gameplay, feedback shows that many players feel underwhelmed by the boss encounters. Players report that most bosses only rely on 4-5 repeated moves. One gamer mentioned boredom watching a stream, expressing, "I was legit bored watching the combat." Another highlighted the lack of engaging mechanics, adding, "Itโ€™s exactly dodge, hit, hit, hit, dodge."

The Good and the Bad

While players lament the repetition, some specifics have emerged in the conversations. One player noted that a vampire rat's blood duplicate in its second phase stood out, saying, "The necro was nice and the giant, but the big rats and gatekeeper dudes just seem like mini bosses." This indicates that there are moments of creativity, but they seem too rare.
