    I've no idea if anyone has suggested this, but I think a Doppelganer would be a nice npc to fight. It could take on the form of the first person to hit it in case of multiplayer. Maybe it could be a black silhouette of the person it has copied? I would think that it would copy the person's weapons they have equipped or it would use it's own weapons in one of the tiers.

    Just an idea though like many others. Good or bad comments are okay because I see it as constructive criticism .

    That would be a cool boss.
    You enter a room, and then a black shadow of yourself forms on the other side with the exact same equipment, weapons, tech, everything.
    Then you gotta kill it. KILL IT.

    I'd make friends with it, and we would travel the galaxy and eat Apex together.

    I dunno, it seems like a really easy way to make a boss that won't be too fun to fight. I'd rather fight a boss who's much more powerful than me, not exactly my strength.

    Also this has been suggested a lot before, you should search before you suggest something next time.

    That's hoping it isn't created as a polar opposite.

    Sousuke Kuroda: Let's team up, travel the stars and eat Apex!.........wait what?
    Adoruk Ekusuos: Let's team up, travel the stars and hug Apex!.........wait what?

    Instantly I picture Dark Link. He was a bugger to fight. Anyway, this would be an interesting fight. You'd have to rely on skill and quick thinking, since it has the same equipment as you.

    It wouldn't be over powered. It would the exact same as your character. A fight to test your strength but I would imagine that creating a good enough AI would be a little hard. I don't know anything about that though. I think it would be fun.

    I think you should re-read my post.

    Not many games have doppelganger bosses or enemies. I like this Idea. Another reason I like Doppelganger bosses is Because no matter how strong you become they will always be as strong and as smart as you.

    Erm I'm not really sure why you think that but dopplegangers are a bit of a trope in games.

    I was actually thinking it could be something like the doppelganger in castlevainia sotn where it appears when you enter a room. Another alternative would be the race dungeons and they would be shadow images of the specific race that the dungeon is but they would also copy your equipment. I think this would be better as a tough monster then a boss because I intended for this to be a test at the player's skill.

    I know what they are.But in most of the games I play they don't appear. And besides the idea is just really appealing an enemy who you can't beat easily and knows all your moves that kind of enemy presents a challenge.
