A downloadable game for Windows

What is it?

This is a simple ability shooter designed to playtest the combinations of mechanics within FPS games, I made this for my synoptic project during my degree using Unreal Engine, an engine I had barely used before.

Controls:

  • WASD movement
  • Mouse look around
  • Left click to shoot
  • E uses your ability
  • Holding Left Shift lets you sprint while you have stamina
  • Space is jump and also ledge mantling if you hold it while looking up at a ledge

How To Play:

When the game starts, select one weapon and one ability that you want to use for that run then hit go. When an enemy dies it will drop a yellow soul that you must walk over to collect into the central pillar, when the pillar is full you win (also tracked by the bar at the top of the screen) this value will deteriorate over time so you must collect more than it drains. There are blue boxes on the map, walking over these will heal you a small amount, if your health bar hits 0 you lose.

Two types of enemies: ranged and melee. Ranged will try to keep their distance from you and shoot while melee will try to get close.
