Boss (video game)In video games, a boss is a particularly large computer-controlled character that has to be defeated at the end of a level, episode or game. Bosses appear in many video games, including story-based or level-based First- and Third- person shooters, Platform games, many Role-playing games, and most Shoot 'em ups.Many single-player games feature a level/episode structure, the game becoming progressively harder as the player advances.
