Explore separate campaigns and test arenas for side-scrolling and free movement, then adapt the included characters, equipment and encounters to your game.Configure your combatCreate punch and kick combos with up to 10 hits per sequence. Set damage, animation timing, hit windows and combo input windows for individual attacks. Add running strikes, aerial attacks, blocking, hit reactions and knockdowns.Directional rolls let characters evade through enemies with temporary invulnerability.

Weapon grip tools provide separate resting and aiming adjustments, left-hand support, per-attack support rules and copy-and-paste settings.Choose your movement and camera styleUse side-scrolling movement for a traditional arcade layout or free movement for combat across a 3D arena. Configure each camera mode with perspective or orthographic projection, tracking, distance, pitch and obstacle handling.Connect combat to a complete game flowThe sample frontend includes mode selection, character selection and loading. Gameplay scenes demonstrate enemy encounters, arena boundaries, pickups, stage exits and a boss encounter.Health and energy bars, character portraits, enemy focus HUD, pause controls, character voices and weapon sounds are included.The framework uses C# components and ScriptableObject profiles.
