All 8 directions
Included effects
The projectiles and hit effects these characters use in their attacks, with the same PNG sheets, frames, JSON and Godot 4 SpriteFrames as the characters.
Crusader Projectile: block, break, restore
Special moves
The Knight also has six special moves, each in all 8 directions: charged strike, three-hit combo, dash strike, jump slam, whirlwind and whirlwind (wind ring). Each move is its own sheet with single frames, a JSON (feet pivot per direction, hit frames, travel for dashes and leaps) and a Godot 4 SpriteFrames file. Moves with effects also come as separate layers (effects behind, character, effects in front), so you can use the character without the effects.
Quick import
- Godot 4: copy the character folder into your project and assign its SpriteFrames to an AnimatedSprite2D.
- Other engines: slice the PNG sheets using the cell size, row order (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) and FPS from the JSON.
- Keep the supplied feet pivot so characters stand on the ground in every direction.
License
- Use in unlimited personal and commercial games; modify freely.
- Credit appreciated, not required.
- No reselling or sharing the sprites as assets, original or modified, and no use in datasets or NFTs.
