Hi everyone!
We’re an indie team currently working on The Mage Slayer, a dark-fantasy action game built with Unreal Engine 5.
In this video, we’d love to share a glimpse of our stylish combat system – fast melee combos, elemental interactions, and comic-inspired VFX. Our goal is to deliver responsive hack-and-slash gameplay while keeping a strong stylized art direction.
Hello @An1ne ! Welcome to the forums here with us!
I’m already excited to learn more about this project. The character design and the combat look quite fun. It reminds me of a certain retro game that is currently slipping my mind, unfortunately. I’m also a little curious about what we see on the 2d design on the preview. Does the darker version of Krad indicate we may be seeing or using a shadow version of him in the game?
Yes the 2D Design illustrate an ability of Krad in the game. It allows Krad to be stronger in a way that enemies can not touch the character for a while, and grants some secret abilities that he can not use in normal state
Hi @An1ne I checked out your dev blog and really enjoyed seeing the evolution of the character and the direction you took. The game looks really fun, and the gameplay seems really engaging. Which part of the game are you most excited for players to experience first?
