A downloadable game

I made this blockout in Unreal Engine 5 for my level design portfolio. I envisioned a first person fantasy combat game and scripted some basic mechanics.

This project is inspired by the Castlevania TV series, specifically the way Alucard duels with other characters using a magic sword and rapid movement. There were many other influences including games like Boomerang X for the movement; Void Bastards for the comic book intro; Darkest Dungeon for the setting; and where my research led me to Maken X and Zeno Clash for first person combat with target lock-on.

I also created a game manual, like those found inside physical cases for games, which outlines some lore and other things you may find interesting.

Thank you for your time! Enjoy!

Known issues:

- The player can jump through walls with the sword throw/leap ability (try not to!)

- Sword throw/leap ability may have some other rare glitches

- Crossbow bolts don't deal damage

Things I would have loved to add:

- Parry

- Damage to enemies from throwing the sword

- Crossbow ammo

- Stamina

- Enemy AI

- Lots more

P.S. A level isn't complete without an easter egg. See if you can find it!
