Slam City

3D beat'em up with roguelike elements inspired by Streets of Rage 4's survival mode

WORK IN PROGRESS WORK IN PROGRESS!

Character Select screen and Pause Menu may be a bit rough right now! As in, you may have to switch to the mouse to select the buttons. I'm working on it! Just use the mouse for menus, it works! 

• Controls! GAMEPAD IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
• Xbox / Playstation / Keyboard
  • X/Square/Z = Strike attack
    • Press and hold to use Power Attack (once acquired)
  • Y/Triangle/X = Special Grapple
    • You have 3 variations: Neutral / Vertical / Horizontal
    • Neutral is just the button
    • Vertical is up or down + special
    • Horizontal is left or right + special
  • B/Circle/C = Finisher / Interact
    • A powerful move that finishers off stunned opponents
    • OPPONENT HAS TO BE STUNNED
    • Same 3 variations as above
  • A/X/Space = Jump
    • Press Strike Attack while jumping to jump kick
      • Jump kick can hit downed enemies
      • Jump kick breaks blocking enemies
    • Once you get "kip up" ability, this button activates that when on the ground
  • RB/R1/Right Ctrl = Dash
    • You can cancel most moves with dash as long as you have enough meter
  • LB/L1/Right Heft = Block
    • The large skull face enemies attacks are unblockable!
  • LT/L2/Right Alt = Parry, once you get the ability
  • Right Analog = Taunt
  • Keyboard key 'M' = Mute music
  • Keyboard key 'P' = Pause the game
  • Dash + Dash: Shoulder Tackle, very high stun ability
  • Dash + Strike: Uppercut, attacks grounded opponents and launches
  • Jump + Strike: Jump Kick, has BlockBreaking property
  • Long Press Strike - Charged Attack (if you have picked up a charged attack ability)
  • Down + Strike, over a downed opponent - Leg Drop, if you've picked up Leg Drop
  • Jump + Down + Strike, over a downed opponent - Elbow Drop / Splash, if you have picked up the appropriate ability

Known Issues

• Enemies sometimes "slide" around while blocking
• Enemies can get stuck in a hit pause, especially after being jump kicked while blocking
• Grapples against the left and right invisible walls can desync and look weird
• Some verbose debug text spits out at the top right corner
• It's running a bit slow at full resolution. You can change the resolution by entering some commands in the console:
  • Console is accessed by pressing the Tilde / ` key that is left of the 1 key
    
  • r.SetRes 1280x720w      (this will set the resolution to 1280x720 window)
  • stat FPS    (this will show FPS, which is nice)
  • Fill free to mess with other console commands, this is a side effect of Unreal I didn't know about until this morning!

Feedback / Bugs

• Of course feedback is welcome at this point, but keep in mind it is an early prototype
• Bug reports are appreciated, especially if you have some reliable reproduction steps
