A third-person top-down Unreal Engine game demonstrating modular gameplay mechanics and responsive combat systems.
🎮 Gameplay
A combat-focused top-down game showcasing modular gameplay systems.
Player and enemy combat mechanics include light & heavy attacks, dodge, perfect dodge, block, parry, and abilities.
Charge-based abilities: abilities can be charged up to three levels, triggering a different effect depending on the charge stage.
Dynamic UI system: includes a health bar, ability charge bar, and action bar, all updating in real time based on gameplay events.
All mechanics and UI are implemented through modular, reusable systems in Blueprints.
🛠️ Tools & Tech
Unreal Engine 5
Blueprints (main) for rapid prototyping and modular design
C++ GAS integration layer — a Blueprint Function Library and Attribute Component built to introduce the Gameplay Ability System into an existing Blueprint project without rewriting existing logic. See technical breakdown →
UI widgets, state machines, and event-driven systems
🚀 Future Plans
Add more enemy types and smarter AI
Polish combat animations, visual effects, and feedback
Expand abilities and cooldown systems
🤝 Collaboration
Worked with an asset creator for art and assets. All gameplay systems, mechanics, and UI were implemented by me.
🧩 Technical Notes
The project is primarily built in Blueprints for fast iteration and modular gameplay design. A C++ GAS layer has been integrated to manage attributes, gameplay effects, and tag-driven logic — designed to slot into the existing Blueprint architecture without disrupting it. See the See technical breakdown → for details. Future updates may expand C++ use for performance-critical systems and multiplayer functionality.
