I'm not asking for the kind of progression that give permanent upgrades or starting gold to heroes. The thing is, we are already unlocking tons of "game changing" options by doing things in Shattered. We unlock characters, alchemy recipes, challenges, seeded runs. The final boss unlock might as well be another 10th challenge.
Longevity and replayability are key aspects of roguelikes and roguelites, and superbosses create a new goal for players who finished the game once. More importantly, these will create online guides, discussions, gameplay videos and reactions. This is the key for growth and momentum, and it's one of the reasons why some roguelikes and roguelites are so successful, they have this recipe jotted down.
