๐Ÿ‘Š IMPROVED MELEE COMBAT

We've significantly reworked the melee combat system.

You can now lock onto enemies by pressing E during combat. Once locked on, fights become much more fluid, allowing you to dodge incoming attacks just like in the Fight Club and counter with powerful punches that can stagger your opponent.

Improvements

  • New enemy lock-on system (E key).

  • Smoother third-person melee combat.

  • Dodge attacks while locked on.

  • Heavy punches can stagger enemies.

  • Improved combat responsiveness. Steam post image
