Gameplay
In MidBoss you play a weak monster in a dungeon, an imp. The imp is not noteworthy at all, beaten by simple skeletons or zombies, except that it has the ability to possess other creatures after it kills them. To progress through the game you level up and put points into four meta attributes (Violence, Cruelty, Relentlessness and Adamancy) which govern your playstyle. How these attributes come to expression in the core attributes (actually used to determine gameplay effects) varies depending on the multipliers of your current form. By unlocking new forms you gain access to their improved multipliers, and as you level those forms up you can unlock new abilities.
