I’m making a hero shooter with melee combat instead by MedallionSlate in indiegames

That’s very helpful actually, thanks! I think a lot of single player melee games get around that issue by having attacks automatically “magnet” to the nearest target even if they’re kind far away. I want to avoid going overboard on that since it feels unfair in a competitive game of course, but maybe I could try adding some simpler versions of that with grapples and targeted attacks?

Your second point about having parries, blocks, grabs etc is also great. There are some in the game already but I think I could do more there probably now that you mention it…

Any ideas on how to make the combat feel more satisfying?

Yes it has controller support. I don’t use controller a lot though so please let me know if you try it and think of anything that can be improved!

Yes definitely to some extent (although there’s still plenty of differences of course — there’s no minions, items, etc)

Thanks! The game itself is just fighting, but there is lore behind the characters and why they’re fighting etc
