📋 About This Mod
Overlay mod for that draws health bars on top of enemies' heads.
I highly recommend to NOT use this mod during the first playthrough because it will ruin the intended experience.

Suggestion: Try it in a combination with another of my mods: Damage Numbers! For the full "Modern Gaming Experience" xD
