Don't just listen to us, here is what members of the ABC community has said:
"After seen the capabilities of ABC Combat Toolkit I fell in love with it and decided to stay with it. One Click Character Setup ( player, enemy, friendly) - nothing can beat that. State Manager, Controller Manager and Ability Manager makes it easy and the capabilities are endless. It works great with my CC4/DAZ3D character without any hiccups. Basically GET IT. Its great. I strongly recommend it."
"I've purchased and tested many Unity assets, and I must say this one truly stands out!! It includes quality animations, abilities, combat and overall gives a AAA quality gameplay feel! I highly recommend this asset to anyone looking to re-create a Devil May Cry or Final Fantasy VII Remake action combat system."
Over 30,000 lines of code have been written to jump start the combat in your game with just 2 components and a click of a few buttons, what do you have to lose?
