Take a look at a combat system in an upcoming folklore-inspired hack-and-slash game, TSAREVNA. Age of Tales from Watt Studio. The character performs graceful movements reminiscent of dancing, combining them with combat sequences, as the developers drew their inspiration from real-life ballet.
The character's movements are based on the performance of the real-world prima ballerina from Bolshoi Theatre, ensuring an unusual and authentic combat choreography. As seen from the video, the devs used motion capture technology to bring the idea to life.
This creative decision goes in line with the concept of the game – a dark Slavic fairy tale, where beauty becomes a weapon. The heroine, Tsarevna Swan, fights through a dark Slavic fairy tale set in a world that features enchanted forests, forgotten places, and ancient ruins.
