# Hack and Slash Templates

Create hack and slash games with Summer Engine. Get inspired by templates below, or start from scratch with AI.

Hack and slash is about flow. You wade into a crowd, chain attacks, dodge through the gaps, and keep the rhythm going until the room is clear. The genre rewards readable enemy patterns and a moveset that feels good to repeat hundreds of times.

A template gives you that loop running: a melee combat system with combos, enemies that swarm and react, hit feedback, and health and stagger. With Summer Engine, the AI game engine compatible with Godot 4, you extend it by talking: ask for a heavy finisher, a crowd-clearing spin attack, or enemies that mix ranged and melee, and the AI edits the combat scripts and animations with you while you keep playtesting the feel.
