Project Hemorrhage Jan. - May 2026

Combat Design in Unreal Engine 5

This is a vertical slice of an action game I'm creating in a team of six inspired by the combat of the Darksiders, God of War, and STAR WARS Jedi games. You play as a vampire, roused from their slumber by an invading force, who carves their way toward the spire where the enemy commander directs his assault on your domain.
