This 10-week module develops a complete combat system that is readable and satisfying to play.
Starting from the attack created in Module 1, you build a combo (second light attack, heavy attack), then the defensive animations (dodge, parry), hit reactions and death. Each step is integrated and tested in Unreal Engine, with regular polish and debug passes to keep the whole system consistent.
