What is a good combat system? 

For me, I want a combat system that is very easy to learn and understand and yet there is a high skill ceiling which makes it harder to master. Like in real life, something like fensing. It is incredibily easy to understand how to fight but yet very hard to master and actually win against your opponent.

I don't want the combat is all about who has more numbers on their swords, and who has better armor. Of course, quality of the equpiment should play a role, but the deciding factor should be how the player is able to control the character.

The interesting thing about the combat system that I created is that I use a fully collision based combat system instead of targeting based. 

Meaning, I don’t run an animation to play the attack animation, the weapon will attack in game. The weapons have their hit boxes as well as the characters.

So that means, if your attack lands, it will hit the enemy. As long as your attack touches the enemy it will do damage. Each weapon have their cool down timer so you cannot spam attack infinitely.  

That opens up more possibilities with this combat system.

Since there is a dash function, that means the player can dash to dodge attacks and using the enemies’ down time to do damage. So spamming attacks isn’t always the best option. So that player can develop more play styles thus increasing the skill ceiling.

But fundamentally, the system itself is very simple.

There are three weapon types so far. 

Ranged Weapon: They do not have a collision box themselves, but they fire a projectile that has its own stats and hit boxes. So different weapons can fire different projectiles.

Slash Weapon: They have a collision box on their blade. They do a spinning attack motion. It lacks range but it covers a lot of space. It is easy to use but difficult to reach your enemies.

Thrust Weapon: They have a collision box on their blade. They do a thrust attack to the direction of the cursor. It attacks in one stright lines. It is easy to miss but you can also reach farther.
