Ubermensch is a Parody, Beat-em-up game inspired by Frederick Nietzsche's philosophical thinking. As a Parody Game, Ubermensch will be based around heavy use of tropes and stereotypes within its design in both gameplay and design of levels and enemies. Played from a third person perspective, the player will be tasked with defeating a number of enemies in each level before having to combat a boss character designed around Nietzsche's major philosophical ideas, the Ubermensch, Nihilism, etc. Very cartoony in nature and heavily stylized, the last level will be comprised of mini versions of all other bosses before coming to the final boss: God. The player then discovers that the "God" boss is already dead, killed by their previous fights, and the game ends. (Referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_is_dead)
