Dragon Crashers | 2D Sample Project

The Dragon Crashers sample project is a 2D vertical slice of a side-scrolling idle RPG, created to demonstrate how Unity’s 2D tools can be combined to build polished characters, environments, animation, lighting, and effects.

The project accompanies Unity’s 2D game art, animation, and lighting for artists e-book and includes reusable content that can be added to your own projects.
