Death From Above is a Gears of War coop two phase boss fight with General RAAM. I designed the level as an alternate boss battle that would fit seamlessly in the Gears of War Universe. My Focus for this level was creating a cinematic and epic battle for the player. Highlighting various events in Gears of War like the movement of Kryll and the way Berserkers bulldoze over stone walls, I wanted to the player to partake in a dynamic experience, always making choices. In addition, I drew inspiration from movies like the Matrix and Pitch Black for showcasing cinematic events.
