About the Game

This is a DEMO of a game, not a full game, made in collaboration with Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences.

The Valiant Attempt is a story-driven 3D action RPG set in a low-poly world on the brink of collapse.
You play as a displaced noble turned mercenary, wandering through the ruins of nations devoured by war. Alongside AI-driven companions, you’ll battle, explore, and make choices that may change what’s left of your world — or simply survive it.

Gameplay

Gameplay in The Valiant Attempt mixes real-time combat with reactive AI behavior.
Enemies coordinate with each other, allies respond to your actions, as enemies and you try to defeat each. Combat blends physical collisions, directional strikes, and projectile mechanics — every swing, block, or spell feels grounded in motion and timing.

Story and World

Generations after a fallen empire’s monsters reshaped the realm, humanity’s own greed has reignited the cycle of conquest.
Your homeland lies divided, your family’s fate unknown, and rumors speak of an ancient artifact that could end — or escape — the endless war.
Whether it’s myth or salvation is yours to uncover.

Key Features

  • AI-Driven Companions & Enemies — Battle alongside allies who think and react dynamically.

  • Physics-Based Combat — Engage in melee and ranged fights where positioning, timing, and precision matter.

  • Interactive Narrative — Experience dialogue-driven encounters that reveal character and consequence.

  • Low-Poly Aesthetic — Explore a handcrafted 3D world with a clean, stylized look.

  • Atmospheric Worldbuilding — A somber tone underscored by a world weary of conflict.
