Notes:
- Thug strike damage is minimal in the beginning of "Regular" and "Insane" campaigns, but will go up as you progress through the game. This is down to the game's design and is something I can't circumvent. 
- Removal of armour upgrades is mainly due to lack of boss damage control. The damage values of certain boss actions cannot be increased. 
- Health bar of certain bosses may not appear correctly, but is functioning as intended. This is due to the updated health values scaling beyond the viewable health bar.

Roadmap
- Support for all languages.
- Make certain bosses deal more damage when possible. 
- Change or increase enemy spawns. Would like to make mini-boss enemies more common with reward drops. 
- Replace Multi-Ground Takedown with a different move - perhaps borrowed from a different player character. 
- Restore lunatic enemies. 
- Equalize player combat animation speeds to improve balancing and fluidity
