About Low Light Combat
LIGHT IS YOUR WEAPON
Low Light Combat is a free competitive multiplayer shooter where light is your only weapon. Matches take place during a rapidly changing day and night cycle, meaning your fast paced fights quickly become tense and thrilling battles of wit.
TIME IS YOUR LIFE
In LLC, your health, ammo, and stamina are all tied to a single resource: Time. That means everything from firing your weapon and taking damage, to sprinting and shining your flashlight will all deplete your time. To replenish your time you must either defeat other players, or touch the reactor found in the middle of the map. But you must act fact because time... is fleeting.
ONE OF THE FIRST GAMES TO USE UNREAL ENGINE 5
LLC is one of the first games ever developed using Unreal Engine 5 Early Access, which means it takes full advantage of Lumen, which powers the real time dynamic global illumination featured in the game, and Nanite, which enables an astounding level of detail in the geometry.
OPEN SOURCE FOR EVERYONE
LLC is completely open source, so if you want to dive headfirst into the project file and learn how we did what we did, you can do so. Regardless of if you're a big name developer or a hobbyist programmer, any and all can learn from Low Light Combat.

"Low Light Combat" is a failed attempt at making a quirky FPS arena shooter by a bunch of failed game developers whose games suck so much, than when reviewers mentioned the games suck and didn't buy them, took Valve to court, Digital Homicide style. I know you're thinking, wow, these talentless, failed game developers who never made a decent product really are jerks, but this is not a review of the toxic game developers at Wolfire, no matter how bad they are. This is a review about the game, "Low Light Combat". Let's talk about Low Light Combat and why it sucked so much. Novel ideas are not always good ideas, the concept of a rapid day/night cycle somehow adding something to FPS arena shooters failed hard. And, as is common to this developer, the technical implementation quality is extremely weak. Everything is assembled in an amateurish way, so the game is thoroughly unpleasant to play, it looks bad, and feels bad. That's if you can get a server to work... the basic game code itself is a sloppy mess, the game hangs and you're more likely find yourself pressing Alt+F4 to quit rather than actually playing a game, if you can convince anyone to play with you.

The original 'Low Light Combat' is a multiplayer stealth shooter where nuclear-powered cyber-ninjas fight in icy caves for survival, created for the Mojam 2 charity drive. Despite its unique mechanics and charitable purpose, the shift from a bold, niche Illuminati concept to a generic space FPS aesthetic feels uninspired, missing the charm of its original premise. Please, Wolfire Games, bring it back or develop another game with the original art style, direction and of course, the cyber-ninjas themselves.
