Abstract:
Blade Master is a third-person sword combat game developed using Unreal Engine 5, designed to deliver realistic one-on-one melee combat with accessible controls and strategic gameplay depth. The project utilizes Unreal Engine’s Blueprint visual scripting system to implement core mechanics such as weapon handling, attack combos, enemy AI behavior, and real-time collision detection without extensive manual coding. The enemy AI is developed using Behavior Trees and Environment Query System (EQS) to enable adaptive combat behavior, including chasing, attacking, and defensive responses. Visual feedback is enhanced using the Niagara particle system, while physics-based interactions are handled through Unreal Engine’s Chaos Physics system. The game is optimized to run at approximately 60 FPS on mid-range hardware. This paper presents the system architecture, development methodology, performance evaluation, and future scope, including multiplayer expansion and virtual reality integration. The project demonstrates the effectiveness of modern game engines in building high-quality interactive combat systems within a student development environment
