Force of Nature

This game is a 2D character action game with minor platforming but centred on comboing attacks with element-based abilities. It is a level-based game however this is a vertical slice project so will be displaying one finished and polished level at GGC. You play as an unnamed character who caused the world to go into chaos after stealing a vital artifact from an abandoned temple belonging to mother nature. Upon touch, the artifact transforms into a whip and wraps itself around the character, making itself a part of them. The environment around them has turned hostile because of your actions and the only way to stop the destruction of earth is for you to die. You can use the whip as a melee attack but pair it with each of your abilities to cause further damage output and other secret abilities for you to learn.

With our Unreal Engine 5 Boss-run Demo “Dusk of Gods”, we set out to create an immersive multiphase boss fight, empowering players to use magic during combat and for swift movement across a compact yet beautiful map. This demo is a remake of a game showcased at last year’s GGC, lovingly recreated by a team of two game students eager to hone their Unreal Engine skills and delve deeper into its mechanics.
