Blades & Brains is a hybrid 3D action and strategy game developed as a full solo final project, combining third person melee combat with a top down tactical mode. Players can fight enemies directly with a complete combat system or switch seamlessly into a strategy view to gather resources, build structures, command units, and prepare defenses. The project features responsive combat, enemy and ally AI, base building, resource economy, and a full gameplay loop supported by handcrafted environments, clear UI, and smooth game flow. This project demonstrates strong Unity development, AI programming, system architecture, gameplay design, and the ability to build a complete game experience from concept to prototype and playtesting.
