Imperator

Imperator, is an upcoming First-Person Shooter for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One & PC. The game follows the trials of the Children of Caesar a group of long distant descendants of the Caesar lineage who were captured by cultists of the Cult of Dis, an ancient religious sect that seeks to spill Caesar Blood to summon their dark goddess, Hecate.
The game is a high-speed FPS similar to Wolfenstein, Doom & Quake with a heavy focus on movement and heavy gunplay having the player use a large arsenal of weapons obtained throughout the game.
==Plot Synopsis==
Four descendants of the Caesar Lineage; Aurelia, Traicho, Haitham & Coralee are captured by a group known as the Cult of Dis, ancient religious worshippers of the Roman Goddess of the Underworld, Hecate believing that by sacrificing the descandants to their dark goddess they can summon her. The plot follows the four descendants fighting their way out of the cult's base and then attempting to stop the cult.
Due to fear of their plans failing, the cult's leader sacrifices themselves to the dark goddess opening up a time rift which drags the descendants in forcing them to face the cultists throughout different periods of history to track down and stop the cult leader who now seeks to open a rift in time to reach an earier descendant of Caesar.
==Gameplay==
Gameplay for Imperator is high-speed First-Person Shooting, the player controls one of the four descendants chosen at the start of each level, the player character is able to move, sprint, slide and jump. Sprinting allows the character (when at full speed) to charge into an enemy staggering them and also makes evading attacks more easy although reduces accuracy. Sliding allows the player character to slide through small passages and also can be used to evade attacks as well as slip by enemies. Jumping functions much like it does in other FPS games allowing the player to traverse various obstacles as well as having a built in grab system if the player jumps near a wall that would otherwise be too high for the player to jump up to.
Weapons come in a large variety with more being unlocked as the player progresses through the game, the weapons are carried over between all characters so the player doesn't need to worry about having to start a level with just the basic weapons just for swapping characters. Weapons can also be upgraded having Static Improvements which increase Damage Output in various ways as well as a simple branching system where the player is able to have a weapon upgrade into one of two upgrade options and can freely toggle between both once they're both unlocked similar to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.
Power-Ups appear throughout the game which allow the descendants to tap into various unique abilities temporarily making dealing with cultists and other enemies a breeze while active.
The game saves in between levels and allows the player to revisit old levels to find secrets and collectibles as well as attempting to complete the two bonus objectives; Extermination (where the player kills every enemy found in the level) and Pacifist (where the player avoids killing any enemies found in the level). Levels are grouped together into chapters which each take place in different time periods, some chapters can be done in a non-linear order and will tend to focus on different aspects of gameplay.
Periodically the player will also be challenged with two types of platforming challenges, one focusing around precision and the other around speed, mastering these is not only necessary for progression but helps the player learn how to deal with certain enemy types.
==Weapons==
Throughout the player's journey they'll come across a large variety of weapons in Imperator, from standard firearms to makeshift weapons and even a few magical weapons throughout. Each serves a different function and can be upgraded throughout the game to be made more effective.
Weapon 	Description
Fists 	When all else fails, simply punching an enemy can at least deal some damage. Fists are the most basic weapons the player has in the game, they serve to allow the player to perform a melee attack, effective at close range and nothing else, they're the only weapon without ammo so can be used regardless.
Pistol 	A cultist's pistol, fortunately they seem to have more of them than there are Cultists. This is the player's starting ranged weapon, it has generally low damage although is more accurate than some later weapons, it is best used for dispatching weak enemies or for dealing with enemies in low threat situations. The player can acquire two Pistols to dual-wield.
Knife Jet 	Strapped together with ducktape, the cultists use these rudimentary weapons to ward off investigators. The Knife Jet is a small firearm that fires Rocket-Propelled Bowie Knives, that are good for dealing with enemies at a distance, they stick into a target and cause them to bleed out, it is ineffective against some enemies however.
Shotgun 	Nothing says reliable like unloading round after round of buckshot into a foe. The Shotgun is a Pump-Action style Shotgun that is capable of holding up to seventeen rounds at a time and is good for dealing with enemies at close range as well as close-medium range crowd control. The Shotgun is the first weapon with significant kickback against enemies and can knock smaller enemies backwards.
Double Barrel Shotgun	Two rounds is usually all it takes to down a foe and the striking sound is unmistakable. The Double Barrel Shotgun is an alternate to the regular Shotgun offering superior damage for a longer reload rate, a point-blank shot from the DBS is typically enough to take down any regular enemy in the game and can also be good for getting multiple enemies at some range.
Amulet of Janus 	This weapon appears as an Amulet however when held facing towards an enemy it will age them causing them to die from rapid degredation, the effect takes a few seconds and doesn't work on certain enemies, primarily the undead however is effective against more powerful enemies when encountered on their own.
Machine Gun 	A rapid fire light machine gun, the weapon offers superior fire rate to other weapons although has a low damage per shot in comparison, it is useful for longer distance combat as the bullets have less spread than other weapons.
Vulcan Trident 	This trident, supposedly forged by the God of Fire himself, can fire powerful bolts of energy which immolate lesser enemies and a few bolts can set even higher end enemies on fire. The weapon also is good for long range attacks as the bolts of energy do not drop off after a distance.
Assault Rifle 	A reliable and functional weapon, the Assault Rifle balances accuracy, fire rate and damage being one of the most well-rounded of the firearms found in the game. The player is able to choose whether to go with Single-Shot or Burst-Fire for the firing mode allowing for a degree of customizability even before upgrading.
Gravity Well 	This experimental weapon developed by the cultists of the early 20th Century is capable of generating powerful gravity hotspots which pull enemies in dealing damage, the alternate fire creates a gravity pulse which pushes enemies around, it is very useful for crowd control and is best used around areas with pits.
Revolver 	A low ammunition weapon however extremely effective at taking down most targets thanks to its armour piercing rounds, the revolver's low ammo capacity, fire rate and reload speed mean it is a bad idea to use it in conjunction with large groups of enemies but is best saved for mini-bosses, bosses and other strong enemies.
Harpy's Feather 	A magical item, the Harpy's Feather acts as sort of homing boomerang, flying through the air leaving a tracing mark as it targets the nearest enemy, the feather becomes lodged in the enemy not only dealing damage for a few seconds but also making them much more obvious to the player. The player will swap to their previous weapon while the Harpy Feather is being used.
Book of Sol 	The Book of Sol is an important weapon as it serves to not only damage most enemies through a magical blast which while having no secondary effects on enemies can drain their magical energy leaving some enemies defenceless while also restoring the magical ammunition of the player's weapons.
Weed Killer 	This makeshift weapon appears to be a repurposed Weed Whacker capable of dispensing a spray of poisonous liquid, it serves both as a close range high damage weapon useful for dealing with single enemies and also in a more shotgun approach to crowd control capable of poisoning multiple enemies simultaneously, it does however have one of the lowest damage outputs in this ranged mode.
Mortar Cannon 	A powerful explosive weapon which fires a large mortar blast which not only explodes on impact with a surface or enemy but coats the surrounding area in a fiery tar for a few seconds burning enemies and the player on contact, it is incredibly effective against groups of enemies although has a low ammo capacity.
Veritas Blade 	A powerful melee weapon that needs magical charges to be used properly, when charged it deals a devastating strike which is particularly effective against Hecate's creatures and can destroy projectiles.
Chain Rocket 	Half-Chaingun Half-Rocket Launcher, this ludicrous weapon created by the excessive resource pools of the Cultists chews through rockets and unleashes a fiery hell on all its enemies. Use with extreme caution as close combat with this weapon will more than likely kill the player along with their enemies.
Energy Gatling Gun 	A strange weapon, the technology seeming to tap into the most unusual of metals, it fires rapid blasts of energy although fortunately is able to hold a large ammunition amount. It is effective against basically any enemy and is an all-rounder of the heavier hitting weapons in the game.
Fallen Star 	A one-shot wonder, the Fallen Star, seemingly a direct gifts from the gods themselves calls upon the power of Sol Invictus and fires a powerful beam that can disintegrate most enemies within a second. Fouler beings under greater control of Hecate however resist its power with bosses taking half damage and Morvela being outright immune.
Mars Cannon 	The Mars Cannon is a powerful late-game weapon which is most effective against larger enemies. The Mars Cannon creates a vortex when activated which tears off the flesh and muscle of its targets, once it has amassed enough biomass, the cannon ignites the biomass and it can be fired, exploding on contact with an enemy or surface dealing large splash damage.
===Power-Ups===
Power-Ups are rare items found throughout the game, typically only one or two appear in each level with them either being found through a secret area of the level or right before a large encounter. The effect of the power-ups varies greatly as well as their duration, which can be extended by getting kills on enemies while the power-up is active.
Power-Up 	Description
Hadrian's Wrath 	This Power-Up allows the player to inherit the wrath of Hadrian, though it strips the player character down to just their fists, a single punch will kill most enemies and two will kill any enemy, the effect typically lasts 30 seconds but can be extended.
Luck of Trajan 	This Power-Up allows the player to utilize Trajan's luck, sleuthing past enemies under a veil of mystical energy giving the player effectively invisibility for a period of time. This is the only power-up which cannot be extended through any means and will last for 15 seconds.
Constantine's Wisdom	This Power-Up allows the player to tap into supernatural foresight, the player is able to temporarily see enemies through walls and their shots from weapons will deal roughly triple damage for the period of time, in the case of headshots this increases to hextuple damage effectively oneshotting regular enemies. The effect lasts for 45 seconds but can be extended.
Flight of Gallienus 	The rarest of the Power-Ups, Flight of Gallienus allows the player to give their character flight, unlike other power-ups this one has a bar which gradually drains as the power-up is used, by holding the jump button the player is able to fly allowing them to reach areas otherwise inaccessible and breaking otherwise damaging or fatal falls.

Cliffs of Agony 	C2L1 	The level has the quartet transported back to the early 20th Century, the level has the player weaving through small cliffsides along a coast where the waters from the coast can wash away parts of it as the player progresses.

Entropic Mine 	C3AL4	Taking place in a mining shaft seen towards the end of the previous level, this level focuses less so on enemy encounters and more so on traps.

The level is also maze-like in design with barbed wire used to damage the player and small tents connected together by series of trenches.
The Eagle's Roost 	C3BL5	This level focuses on a large tower which the player must ascend, similar in ways to C1L3 however the tower in this case has a rudimentary puzzle to solve which involves the player needing to set charges on support structures on one floor of the tower to cause the floors above to crash down, allowing access to the boss area.

Cliffs of Doom 	C5L1 	Overlooking a vast sea, the quartet head up these cliffs and small cavernous areas to reach a large lighthouse where they're able to orientate themselves. Due to the nature of this level a lot of the encounters are very vertical with enemies attacking from multiple floors. The cramped caverns also hold a number of traps throughout.

The player's main goal is to work their way towards the tree, kill the heart within and then head towards a lake in the distance.
That Sinking Feeling 	C6AL2	This unusual level revolves around quicksand pits with much of the terrain being dotted with these traps which slow the player's and enemy's movement, some enemies can even be lured into the quicksand and killed due to their low movement speed.

Oilslick Dockyard 	C6AL3	Heading beneath the lake from the previous level, this one focuses around an underwater dockyard where large amphibious vessels are being constructed, the level shifts between the more open parts of the dockyard and the cramped corridors and spaces of the vessels, often hiding secrets amongs the corners and hideaways of the ships.

Unreal Realms 	C8L4 	After destroying the first fortress, the player comes across an unnatural realm of space where gravity does not behave naturally and enemies seem to pop-up from out of nowhere, this is another non-euclidian level with the player needing to use that to navigate through the strange passageway.
Triad Fortress 	C8L5 	The second fortress in the city, this fortress is more vertical and has large open areas that loop back on themselves several times forcing the player to contend with Cultists attacking them from various angles. The power generator for this fortress seems to be what's fueling the large rifts that Hecate is using to bring in creatures from her realm and the player shuts these down at the end of the level.
Quaking in Fear 	C8L6 	Heading to initiate the self-destruct on the second fortress, the player will face some of the most ferocious hordes of cultists in the game, even having to contend with the Bat of Hypnos which has returned from the grave and is aided by the Cultists to oppose the player. The second half of this level picks up after the self-destruct and has the palyer traversing the open chasms of the destroyed city where buildings and vehicles have fallen into the molten earth below, this has the player contending with monstrous creatures of Hecate's which appear throughout the level, crawling out of basically every crevice where one could hide.
Nuke Entry Machinations 	C8L7 	Reaching the final fortress before the Spire, the quartet enter to find that it is heavily automated with many machines controlling the area, the player needs to utilize the control stations throughout the area to align a series of bridges to cross a large chasm, heading to the research labs where the player must destroy the labs before heading towards the command station in the next level.
Doomed Hope 	C8L8 	Having dealt heavy damage to the cultists the player reaches the Command Station in this level, constant waves of Cultists and Hecate's creatures batter the player to try to stop them including a rematch against Scylla once again. Despite this the player is successful and engages the self-destruct on the final fortress heading out and into the large entry area for the spire. The last section of the level focuses on the player lowering the force fields around the spire to gain access.
The Id of Hecate 	C8L9 	The final level of the game, the player enters into the spire, initially contending with the last remnants of the cultists, before coming to a portal which takes the player directly into Hecate's realm. The realm is filled with creatures under Hecate's control and appears as a series of craggy canyons surrounding by barren mountains with destroyed cities and villages still located across their peaks. After defeating the last of Hecate's forces and entering the chamber of Hecate herself the player battles against Hecate who uses a wide variety of attacks however the player ends up successful, killing the dark goddess causing her spirit to be purged from Morvela and using the remaining magical energy to create a time rift to bring the quartet and Morvela back to the present, sealing Hecate's realm preventing her from leaving again.
==Characters==
Character	Description
Aurelia 	Aurelia is the eldest of the four characters and the de facto leader of the quartet, depicted as being cunning but also rigid she seems to hold little remorse for the cultists. Aurelia plays with a more tactful approach to gameplay, she has the highest accuracy of the four characters but has a slightly slower fire rate, decent health and speed. Aurelia's unique talent is Ammo Retention which allows her to sometimes not consume ammunition when used.
Traicho 	Traicho is shown to be the largest of the group, a bit of a brute but having a clear appreciation for the arts as shown in some cutscenes where he is found admiring the landscape and various monuments throughout. Traicho is the tank of the group, slower movement but much more health than the rest, in addition having a slight boost to damage dealt by explosives but less damage by bullets. Traicho's unique talent is Enduring Strength which causes him to take less damage from enemies the more frequently he is attacked.
Haitham 	Haitham is the youngest of the quartet, a bit easy to frighten but when focused gets into a groove, he is depicted as an avid music lover.Haitham favours speed above all else having the highest mobility in the game as well as being able to get through ammunition faster by an innately higher firing rate, he trades this however with the lowest health of the group. Haitham's unique talent is Dance of Death which causes Haitham's damage output to increase as long as he is moving for each enemy he kills.
Coralee 	A bit of a clueless wonder, Coralee is an acrobat by trade and acts oblivious to much of the things going on around her. Having a curiosity with the various creatures Hecate brings their way she is shown to be eager to face many of them. Coralee is a bit of an oddity, as her stats are the most rounded of the four although she has the highest damage output for magical weapons. Coralee's unqiue talent is Radiant Energy which causes Coralee to recover some magic ammo for her weapons when she kills an enemy regardless of the weapon used.
Morvela 	One of the main antagonists of Imperator and the leader of the Cult of Dis, Morvela is shown to be a loyal but foul individual, following the instruction of Hecate while also encouraging the other cultists to fight with their lives. Once merged, Morvela attempts to assert her ego as the dominant one between herself and Hecate leading to the disruption of power.
Hecate 	The grand antagonist of Imperator, worshipped by the Cult of Dis. Hecate is the Dark Goddess of the cult who they believe will bring their group into a new age of prosperity. Hecate herself has subtly influenced the course of the cult throughout history whispering words of guidance into their leaders ears, her overall goal to break the temporal seal place on her corporeal form long ago allowing her to once again exert power over humanity. The final chapter of the game in essence shows the potential outcome of Hecate's influence over humanity.
==Enemies & Bosses==
Enemy 	Description

Zombie Cultist 	Even when dead a cultist still loyally serves Hecate, these Zombie Cultists are nothing more than a mindless mass of flesh, blindly charging at anything they see attempting to kill them through biting and scratching, even other cultists prefer to keep their distance.
Cultist Tanker 	A special mechanized Cultist that has been provided armour giving them a distinct appearance from other cultists, they typically carry a shotgun and a shield, the shield can deflect most gun weapons but not magical weapons.
Cultist Assassin 	These specialized cultists have become trained in ambushes, unlike most cultists they do not patrol a given area but instead will move about the entire map, remaining as quiet as possible using their more advanced movement to ambush the player. They can throw small proximity mines and carry a pistol allowing them to quickly get the drop and then escape if need be.
Vampiric Cultist 	A cultist who has delved in the taboo of cannibalism, their body is cursed with the undeath of Hecate and so have a constant hunger that can never be satiated.

They're easily distinguishable by their dark grey robes which are covered in spatterings of blood.
Abyss Gazer Cultist 	One of the most powerful variants of the Cultist, the elites of the faction who have gazed into the true machinations of Hecate, their eyes gouged out for their own sake, they are unnaturally durable and can use dark magic summoning pillars of fire and sending dark energy waves from their hands. There are very few encountered in the game and they dress in dark indigo robes covered in patterns of eyes.
Mech-Rider Cultist 	A cultist riding in a mech, they're quite dangerous due to the mech's machine gun and rocket launcher which allow for it to provide cover for weaker enemies and also being quite durable. They have a weakness to explosives however and taking out the Cultist will disable the mech as well.

They will throw fireballs in rapid barrages, can raise walls of fire to block the player, can send out waves of fire and can even manifest fire whips to lash at the player, though they're not much stronger than a regular cultist their versatility makes them a serious threat.
Lunamancer Cultist 	These cultists channel the moon's energy to enhance their magical abilities, they are able to create false duplicates to confuse the player however a keen-eyed observer can identify imperfections in the duplicates which reveals them as nothing more than illusions. Lunamancers will always carry a shotgun with them to attack once they've created illusionary duplicates.
Technomancer Cultist	A dangerous Cultist who can channel their magic into robotic enemies, they are always found around these enemies and can supercharge them making them tougher to take down and also more dangerous, the Technomancer themself is no slouch either as they can create a holo-shield to protect them and typically carry an energy firearm.
Dragonspit 	Although allied with the cultists these humans are not devouts of Hecate, instead serving to use her power for their own gain, they wield dangerous flamethrowers which send out jets of fire giving them a considerable range and they often work in groups. Their weakness is the fuel canister on their backs which will explode when shot or heated.
Hellhound 	Hounds from the underworld, sent by Hecate to kill the descendants, Hellhounds have a ravaged look as though much of the flesh that once covered them has been torn off by greater monsters. They attack in packs and will move at high speeds, their bite can deal considerable damage although they're put down easily.
Breathing Skull 	These floating skulls act more as an obstacle than an enemy, they will passively float around a set area unleashing a poisonous gas from their mouth that can damage the player, if they detect the player is below them then they'll let out a sludge which can deal much more damage.
Spectre 	Ghostly entities that typically dwell around places of great death, they are able to phase through walls and can attack by becoming corporeal and then striking their target, this however also leaves them open to attack, they typically come in swarms however are very weak and a single shot from most weapons can put them down.

They can also shoot poisonous darts from the palms of their hands which can impale the player dealing significant damage over time.
Murk Grenadier 	These Murk-Demons are intelligent enough to wield weapons typically carrying a grenade rifle that is partially attached to their arm, they are more dangerous than their melee cousins and the armor they wear, bronze in color provides them with more protection.
Murk Sentinel 	A powerful melee wielding Murk-Demon, unlike their brethren they're more trained in combat, able to fight with tridents in close range even blocking some of the player's own attacks, they can also fire off blasts of energy from their tridents although this is rare and they prefer to close the gap to get close to the player instead.
Murk Lord 	A large hulking Murk-Demon, they're visually very distinct from the regular Murk-Demons by being nearly 12ft tall, they're able to unhinge their jaw and let out a blast of high pressure water to knock the player back.

Crystalid 	Creatures born from the earth, their bodies covered in beautiful crystals, the cultists use them as guards for various areas as they can conceal themselves well with natural environments. Their durability is complimented by their ability to fire high energy lasers from the crystals on their hands and at close range can swipe with their club-like fists.
Chenoo 	A large creature that roams cold wastes, Hecate seems to have these creatures roam around mountainous areas where they will devour their victims whole, leaving only bloody entrails of their remains, even the cultists keep their distance as the second a Chenoo is hungry it will turn on any living creature.
Iron Guard 	These powerful individuals are covered in powerful armor allowing them to endure a significant amount of punishment. Their armour is covered in protective seals that make them immune to the secondary effects of many weapons, fortunately however they're very slow and their armour leaves them vulnerable to sneak attacks and ambushes.
War Machine 	These mechanical monstrosities were built solely for war, they are a heavy hitting enemy which utilizes energy weapons which while more easy to avoid than ballistic weapons deal more damage when hurt by them. They can tank a serious amount of damage and are resistant to magical weapons.

Cyclops 	A powerful robotic enemy that has a singular eye, they have a quad-chambered rocket launcher for one of their arms allowing them to rapidly fire rockets, they can also unleash a laser beam from their eye which moves in a straight line from where they're looking, fortunately they're unable to move while attacking making them easy to target although their high health pools also mean they can take multiple hits before going down.
Prisoner of War 	Unfortunate souls captured by the cultists who were subjected to the eternal torment of Hecate, their minds driven to insanity and now they only see monsters all around them. Typically gathered into large groups they attack by wildly flailing and clawing at the player and any other enemy, Hecate has gifted them with unholy abilties as the skin around their arms and legs is torn allowing them to move beyond the normal limits of a human running faster than the player and having an unusually long reach.

Rotting Corpse 	The mortal form of those that had long since past, the corpses are animated with dark magic from Hecate's followers which causes what appears to be rotting flesh to amass on the skeleton, this is actually residual dark energy. Though limited in intelligence these corpses are capable of wielding firearms and are obedient to the bitter end.
Bone Giant 	Created through dark magic that binds the skeletons of the deceased together, these unnatural creatures move around slowly and are able to create a petrifying blast of energy that staggers their prey in place, they have an unearthly deep moaning sound which is believed to be the trapped souls of the skeletons that make up their body screaming for death.
Hungman 	Lowly criminals who in death made a pact with Hecate, their bodies are puppeted around with what appear to be strings coming from their wrists and ankles, they carry knives or small firearms making them a low threat however the sheer number can often make them far more dangerous.
Corrupted Ent 	Although denizens of the realm of Flora, some Ents, weak in spirit are corrupted by Hecate and serve her instead. These Corrupted Ents will hide in natural environments, attacking with their large club-like arms and unleashing a toxic gas from their mouths, they can also lob small seeds which latch onto the player and slow them down.
Succubus Plant 	Ominous floral creatures that create illusions through aromas, they draw in their victims before attacking, though they are stationary, if their cover is blown they can spit out an acid bile which can not only damage the player but corrode through their resistances for a time, making them more vulnerable to damage.
Slag Demon 	A demon born from molten rock of the lowest value, weak and dispensable they're the grunts of the demonic forces of Hecate and attack through throwing fireballs and attacking with their long claws.
Ferrous Demon 	Made from metal, these demons are considered a serious threat among Hecate's forces, they're able to seemingly disappear by turning into a puddle of molten metal and hiding and then attacking with fiery breath and claw strikes which unleash energy weaves.

Spiderling 	Baby spiders although quite large in size they do little in the way of damage and only have a small probability of poisoning the player, they usually come in groups although are easily dispatched.
Arachne 	Human-Spider hybrids, these unfortunate devotes of Hecate sacrificed their bodies and mind, now they seek to weave giant webs to bring in more victims under Hecate's control. They can attack by shooting a web to slow movement or let loose a poisonous spit that can even temporarily blind the player.
Scorcher 	Large Scorpion enemies which will typically cling to walls and ceilings, once they get the drop on the player they'll either attempt to stab the player with their stinger, fire off fireballs from their pincers or charge up a long range flamethrower from their stinger.

Manticore 	A very powerful enemy found late in the game, like the mythical creature they posses extreme strength and in close range can quickly take out the player with claw strikes. They're also capable of breathing fire, giving them some range albeit limited. Attempting to ambush this enemy is impossible due to its two heads, it's best dealt with from a distance before it can close the gap.
Minotaur 	Large, rampaging enemies that can be just as much of a threat to the player as to other enemies. They will attack by charging at high speeds not stopping until they hit something. They're best dealt with by baiting the charge and then dodging and punishing them by attacking from behind. If they're close enough however they'll instead strike with the battle axe they carry.
Griffon 	A larged winged enemy, their large frame means they're more limited than most enemies in where they can follow the player however they're capable of striking from above to catch the player off-guard and can also unleash an acidic spit that can blind the player temporarily. If they're in close range they will peck with their beaks which can bypass armour.
Cockatrice 	A strange mix between dragon and chicken, these bipedal creatures are capable of charging at high speeds as well as letting loose a flamethrower from their mouths to deal with the player at multiple distances. They can also do a quick jump attack to catch up to the player if they try to escape and can call the attention of other enemies by a low howl.
Monoceros 	A relatively small enemy, their high speed as well as lightning attack from their horn can make them a threat in larger groups as their low health pools can be partially mitigated. They will typically try to evade attacks from the player making low speed weapons much less effective, they also will keep their distance from the player to avoid being melee attacked.
Plane Walker 	Strange creatures that exist within Hecate's realm but can freely walk into the realm of humans, they're extremely rare but tricky to deal with as they can disappear by simply moving behind another object and then re-appear moments later in a completely different location. They attack by unleashing energy blasts which not only deal damage but can disorientate the player causing their vision to become blurred.
Mimic 	A relatively stationary enemy but very dangerous, mimics disguise themselves as objects, typically things the player may be looking for like secrets and ammunition, they reveal themselves by shifting into their true form and attacking.

===Bosses===
Throughout the game the player will come across a number of bosses, these are comprised of two groups; Mini-Bosses and Bosses. A boss overall is identified by the presence of a health bar which appears at the top of the screen.
Enemy 	Description
CerberusMini-Boss 	Cerberus is the three-headed dog that appears as a Mini-Boss. It is a relatively slow moving and easy enemy however its large health pool makes it a formidable adversary for the player early on. Each of the beast's three heads can individually unleash fireballs or spew a flamethrower from their mouths, the fireballs have greater range but the flamethrowers protect them from the player if they're close. Cerberus can also attack by charging at the player although this can easily be avoided.
HydraMini-Boss 	The Hydra is a multi-headed reptilian creature that appears as a Mini-Boss. It is a deceptively fast moving creature with short legs and sharp claws that allow it to grip onto and climb walls. The Hydra attacks with its various heads by shooting fire and acid as well as using its heads to bite at the player. While most weapons will deal damage, the Vulcan Trident is especially effective against the boss.
DragonMini-Boss 	Dragons are a recurring Mini-Boss encountered throughout the game, based on European Dragons they have four limbs and two wings. The specific dragon's ability differs from encounter to encounter although they are color coded with Red-Orange breathing fire, Green spewing acid and Purple being able to use magic to summon lesser enemies to fight alongside them. Universal to all variants they're able to fly around and can dive-bomb the player as well as charge at them on the ground or make swipes with their claws.
MorvelaBoss 	A recurring boss in the game, Morvela attacks primarily with magical attacks although is also capable of summoning lower level Cultists to her aid. Her magical attacks typically involve throwing explosive blasts of energy or creating bubble-shaped shields which protect her from damage. As the player re-encounters Morvela she'll incorporate more dangerous attacks into her arsenal including being able to create floor traps which can damage the player, conjure a phantom hand which can pull the player towards Morvela leaving them open to attack and being able to revive dead enemies.
BasiliskBoss 	The Basilisk is a large serpentine boss, the Basilisk will move around the arena by sliding around, parts of its body are armoured and even have spikes on them making contact with those sections dangerous as well as impervious to damage. The Basilisk's head is also armoured so the player needs to target the unarmoured sections. If the Basilisk is close to the player it may attack by biting at the player or spitting acid from its fangs which leaves the area where the player is or was covered in corrosive liquid for a few seconds. At longer ranges the Basilisk will slam its tail into the ground causing enemies to appear, the Basilisk can also fire lasers from its eyes which will follow the player for a few seconds before it has to stop.
Bronze CenturionBoss 	A large bronze automaton, the Bronze Centurion is a ranged focused boss who utilizes an arsenal including; a rocket launcher mounted to the automaton's shoulder which has a laser-focused sight and a chaingun attached to its left arm which it can fire in small volleys but has to reload between volleys. During combat the Bronze Centurion is also capable of attacking with a large energy blade, sending out waves of energy at the player which can burn them as a result, it will only use the energy blade when the player is at a far enough range where the chaingun is less effective. The Boss will also typically stomp around the room chasing after the player to minimize the gap between the player and the boss, it is even capable of knocking down the walls of the room to make reaching the player easier.
Polyfaced GargoyleBoss 	A large flying gargoyle which has stone-like skin. The Polyfaced Gargoyle is a boss which attacks with high speed and can swap between several faces for attacking. Regardless of its face the gargoyle can attempt to swoop the player and attack with its claws or land near the player and spin its tail around to deal heavy damage. The Gargoyle has three faces, its stone bat-like face which has no associated attacks, a red demonic goat-like face which is able to hurl fireballs in volleys at the player and a green serpent face which is able to spit a large glob of acid at the player which leaves behind a pool of the acid for a few seconds where it lands
Bat of HypnosBoss 	This massive bat creature appears to be a powerful creature that was personally raised by Hecate in her realm. The creature will fly around the arena unleashing hypersonic blasts from its mouth which can disorientate the player, its main means of attacks however are to dive bomb the player or to scratch at them if they're close enough with its claws. Although rare the boss may also unleash a salvo of rockets from the armour on its back which will target random areas of the arena.
The Prince of PainBoss 	The Prince of Pain is one half of a dual boss encounter part way through Imperator. The Prince of Pain utilizes fast moving attacks and will often appear to blink between locations leaving behind a light trail showing where he went. He attacks by unleashing sword swipes which cut air and fly through the air at the player. He also carries around a sub machine-gun which he can fire while skating around the arena at lower speeds shooting at the player. He can also lay down tripmines which have small light signals warning the player of their presence that deal heavy damage if the player walks over them.
The Duke of DesolationBoss	The Duke of Desolation is one half of a dual boss encounter part way through Imperator. In contrast to his counterpart, the Duke of Desolation is a large slow moving target who can tank hits extremely well, he is borderline immune to explosive damage making weapons more effective against most bosses less effective against him. He will move around the arena slowly sometimes stopping to slam his massive warhammer into the ground generating shockwaves and dealing near fatal blows to the player if they're hit directly by the hammer. He can also unleash a salvo of heat-seeking missiles from a chest mounted rocket launcher, at the player if they're within a certain range and in view, these missiles can be messed with however by the Prince of Pain and heat sources causing them to veer off-path.
AgaresBoss 	A large humanoid demon, Agares rides atop the living skeleton of a massive alligator, the demonic creature uses a staff which causes the corpses of dead enemies in its arena to be reborn, Agares is also able to use the staff to create pools of acid across the arena and hurl magical blasts which send the player flying into the air dealing falling damage. Agares' alligator can also spit out a fiery blast from its mouth which can be seen charging in its chest cavity before it unleashes the attack.
VassagoBoss 	Vassago is a demonic creature which appears to wear a witch doctor's mask although has two small black horns protruding from the eyeholes. In addition it wears a cloak covering its lanky malnourished body which is actually a flock of ravens which it can send to blind and attack the player temporarily. Vassago can also attack by creating duplicates of himself and attacking by summoning various firearms out of thin air although only the one he grabs is real, Vassago can also turn into a shadow disappearing for a few seconds to reappear elsewhere to catch the player off-guard, he can still be damaged in his shadow state however and takes extra damage from fire-based weaponry.
ScyllaBoss 	Spawn of Hecate this multi-headed sea monster dwells is capable of moving on land thanks to its dozens of tentacles. Scylla has five serpentine heads which are able to jet out and try to bite the player while also having two large wolf-skull like heads on the side of its body which can fire large homing fireballs at the player if they're too far away for the serpentine heads. Scylla will move around by clinging onto walls, ceilings and floors and can even get above the player in an attempt to crush them. Scylla is also able to use these tentacles to cage the player in where it will specifically attack with its human-like face firing volleys of electricity along the ground which the player must jump over or duck under depending on which set of tentacles begin glowing.
HecateBoss 	
The final boss of the game, Hecate appears as a humanoid being who is able to shift between two sizes during different phases of her fight. Her form which is roughly the size of a human wields a large trident which is able to fire off multiple colors of magical energy blasts, red energy blasts will strike the floor and turn into a rapidly moving ground explosion which targets the player and can curve in the player's direction although can be dodged with strafing. A Green energy blast which while slow moving will float towards the player and can follow them for a while before detonating. The player can also have to contend with a blue energy blast which will travel a short distance forward before exploding releasing smaller blue energy blasts in every direction. Hecate in this form can also attack the player if they get too close by swiping with her spare arm.
In her second phase Hecate appears as a massive being who destroys half of the arena and stands in the open section, although she is able to be attacked at all time in this phase her attacks are much more dangerous. She can summon various weapons to use against the player in this phase including a torch which causes the lowest level of the arena to become completely set ablaze burning the player if they're touching it. She can also summon a sword which causes hundreds of swords to rain down from above which signal where they're going to land with light patches on the ground. She can also summon a rope in this phase which sweeps from one side of the arena to the other damaging the player if they get hit and sending them flying.
In her final phase, Hecate appears in her true form as a three-faced human with six arms, she attacks with multiple swords swinging them in a wild fashion making it dangerous to get close, she will briefly pause between attacks and can also charge at the player with a sword thrust with three of her arms, this can be followed up with her swining one of her free arms around her side if the player is still close. During this phase Hecate can also create two duplicates of herself which can't hurt the player but can confuse them, the player can tell the real one by a red crystal on her forehead that's absent on the fakes.
