GDevelop - Action RPG Battle System Template

Action RPG Combat System Template (GDevelop 5) A plug & play top-down action combat + enemy AI framework for your RPG projects.

This is a clean, beginner-friendly Action RPG Battle System Template built in GDevelop 5, designed for top-down games (Zelda-like / Stardew-style combat). It’s made to be easy to edit, expand, and reuse — perfect if you want a solid combat foundation without building everything from scratch.

✅ What’s included

Player

• Melee attack system (hitbox-based)
• Attack states logic (prevents animation/movement conflicts)
• Sprint / Run system (Shift) + separate walk/run animations
• Damage & invulnerability frames (i-frames) system

Enemies (global enemy system)

• Random wandering AI
• Chase player AI (smart 4-direction movement)
• Melee attack system with:
  • windup → active hit → cooldown cycle
  • enemy stops correctly during attacks
  • reliable hitbox positioning based on enemy facing direction
• Enemy death system (prevents double death trigger bugs)

Hit feedback / Juice

• Enemy knockback when hit by the player (clean and configurable)
• Enemy hit blink / flash effect (configurable, Stardew-like friendly)
• Clear structure for adding more effects later (sparks, screen shake, etc.)

Clean structure

• Events are organized into groups
• Variables are easy to tweak (range, speed, damage, timers, etc.)
• Works as a solid base to create your own enemy types and weapons

🔥 Why this template?

• Saves you hours/days of building the core combat + AI logic
• Easy to understand and modify (no messy spaghetti events)
• Great foundation for your own Action RPG game

This template will be updated regularly as the system evolves. If you buy it now, you’ll get future improvements and additions (new enemies, more effects, extra weapon types, and more quality-of-life features).

If you have any questions or requests for the next update (new enemy type, ranged enemy, weapon variations, effects, UI, etc.) — feel free to message me and I’ll consider adding it.
