Why It's A Boss Fighting Perfection

 * 1) The soundtrack is amazing. The game features many Nintendo songs and a few other songs that are nice to listen to.
 * 2) The thumbnails and class descriptions look nice and have great renders and artwork.
 * 3) Each class is really good to play with. All of them have unique attacks that help in battle, although they have downsides. If you level up enough in a class, you get to unlock special attacks at levels 25 and 50.
 * 4) * Baller throws Ball Projectiles at enemies which can do some damage. Baller is also the fastest class and one of the easiest to play with. Baller's downside is that they can take damage very easily.
 * 5) * Slicer uses a sword to hurt enemies. Slicer is one of the strongest classes and can do a lot of damage. Slicer's downside is that he is slower than Baller and Piercer.
 * 6) * Piercer uses a bow and arrow to shoot at enemies. Piercer is very helpful in Bosses like SpringWrath and is stronger than Baller. Piercer's downside is that they are stronger than Baller but weaker than Slicer and Crusher, and Slower than Baller.
 * 7) * Crusher uses a hammer to attack enemies. Crusher is the strongest class in the game. Crusher's downside is that they are the slowest in the game
 * 8) The Bosses are very fun to battle, although some have identical attacks, bosses such as BassDevil, SpringWrath, Arcane Warlock, and The Masters have unique attacks.
 * 9) After the Main Story, there are some more chapters that are played right after which are fun. The current ones are The SpringWrath Chapter and Nostalgia Revived 2. The game also had Nostalgia Revived 1 which has the bosses Soul Weegee and Soul Turdulator.
 * 10) The Lobby has a great design and fun to explore.
 * 11) The game has a great lives system. Each player has 7 lives each round in a chapter, which makes the game easier for new players who don't have much experience.
 * 12) The game isn't easy, and it's really challenging, which makes the game more fun.
 * 13) The game's cutscenes are detailed and have animations, which make the game more unique.
 * 14) The game has many nice visuals, like the dialogue, enemy healthbars, and boss healthbars.
 * 15) Like the bosses, there are a variety of enemies that are fun to battle.
 * 16) The game has good characters. Unlike some Roblox games, the characters appear throughout the game.
 * 17) Speaking of the characters, the game also has many antagonists, such as McSlash and Techno Devil. The Main Antagonist is implied to be the ??? character.
 * 18) The level design in the game is nice and very detailed. The beginning of chapter 6 features going up a rock wall and going into a dark hallway.
 * 19) The Mysteliates help a lot in battles since they all possess unique abilities. An example of this is Heal, which heals you in battle.
 * 20) When you gain points, you can buy better weapons in the weapons shop which help in battle.
 * 21) You can get tons of badges in the game for leveling up in classes or completing chapters.
 * 22) There is a lot of humor in the game, such as 'You' making jokes that make the antagonists angry or the Noobs talking in a funny way in Nostalgia Revived 2.
 * 23) You can buy mini-versions of the masters in the game to wear on your avatar, which are pretty cheap.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) A lot of the bosses can attack players with attacks that kill them with one hit, which can lead to some cheap deaths.
 * 2) A lot of the bosses also have big hitboxes, which can also lead to some cheap deaths.
 * 3) As stated in #4 of Why It's A Boss Fighting Perfection, a lot of the bosses have identical attacks, mostly shockwaves.
 * 4) The game features microtransactions that the player might not buy at all.
 * 5) In SpringWrath's Boss Fight, SpringWrath has a flying attack where it flies to the player and one-hit kills them. This wouldn't be that much of a bad attack if the grass trail Springwrath leaves after flying didn't kill you.
 * 6) In Sir Kadee's Boss Fight in Nostalgia Revived 2, his final form features a ground attack that is almost impossible to dodge.
 * 7) Bosses such as Spring FOE are faster than the player, which makes it easy for them to kill you.
 * 8) McSlash is a rather underwhelming name for an intimidating foe and boss, especially since he has a 2nd form and that his original name before turning evil was actually Slasher, a much cooler name.
 * 9) The Siege Noobs in Nostalgia Revived 2 have bad hitboxes, are hard to attack (only being able to be hurt in the head), do a lot of damage, and are fast, making them one of the worst enemies in the game.
 * 10) Chapter 1 is the most boring chapter in the game since you only stay in one arena during the whole chapter and all the bosses and enemies do the same thing.
 * 11) Although the challenge in the game is a good thing, some parts are way too hard, such as SpringWrath's Boss Fight and Sir Kadee's Boss Fight.
