WIP: Demon style enemy from ABYSS X ZERO I'm getting comfortable coding enemies with a huge movement pool. Bro got so many moves!!! It's hard to find a balance between too simple and too overwhelming when it comes to how many moves a boss or enemy has!

In NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, switching weapons as quickly as possible is the key to efficiently dispatching enemies. NIGHTMARE OPERATORでは武器を素早く切り替えることが、敵を効率的に倒す鍵となります。

One of the many spells the player will have at their disposal... Tornado! This ability draws enemies in and makes it difficult for them to move.
