Unreal Engine 4 - Sword and Shield combat preview
Added the shield to a combat system I had developed a couple of months back.
The short clip here is inspired by the story of Rostam and the White Demon (Div e Spid in persian). Div-e Sepid is a great demon with tremendous power who has captured the king of Iran, Kay Kavus, and his commanders and paladins; blinded them, and imprisoned them in the deep dungeons of mountain Esperoz. The greatest Persian mythical hero, Rostam, undertakes his "Seven Labors" to free his king. This clip depicts Rostam's sixth labor where he travels to the Esperoz mountain where he takes on the demon's minions to rescue the king and his paladins before the final encounter with the white demon himself.
The combat system is very much inspired by Dark Souls which started as a small project to learn more about enemy AI and animation in UE4 (you can find an earlier version of this system in my channel which was posted close to a year ago). The animations are bought from the market place and the 3D assets plus the level can be downloaded for free.
Request for tutorials: Unfortunately, I don't have any free time on my hands to make a tutorial for this especially as this is kind of complicated. Currently, I am working hard on lunching my first PC game on steam soon (The Audit, check the trailer in my channel) . However I will keep this request in mind and might do a simpler combat system tutorial as a part the Absolute Beginner Tutorial Series in the future. You can subscribe to follow that series.
