UNDEFEATED: Genesis Gets Real With Impressive Water Animation in Unreal Engine 5
By: Senior Editor
In the world of video game development, a compelling story isn’t always enough to sell a game; visually appealing graphics and realistic animations play an equally crucial role. Indie-us Games, a Japan-based studio, has demonstrated just how far attention to detail can go with their most recent superhero action game, UNDEFEATED: Genesis. Using the Unreal Engine 5, the developers have achieved stunning water interaction animations that significantly enhance the game’s immersion factor.
Hyper-Realistic Water Animation
The latest showcase from UNDEFEATED: Genesis reveals an extraordinary level of realism when it comes to water interactions on the mysterious planet where the protagonist finds himself. After being hit by a meteor and waking up on an unfamiliar world, players control a character whose every move in and around the water affects it dynamically.
Whether the protagonist is walking, running, or showing off combat skills in the water, the way it reacts is incredibly authentic. Flying above the water offers a unique visual spectacle as well; the protagonist’s speed causes water particles to vaporize, creating an effect that makes players almost feel the moisture in the virtual air.
Destructive Environments and Flashy Combat
The game doesn’t just stop at stunning water animations. It features highly destructible environments and flashy combat mechanics that make every playthrough a visual treat. Players assume the role of an ordinary college student who suddenly gains superpowers, including the ability to fly. Their mission? To combat enemies and prevent a catastrophic blight from destroying a mysterious planet, as they assist the remaining survivors.

Impressive Real-Time Reactions
One of the most exciting aspects of the game is its real-time reactions to various player actions. When you perform combat moves in the water, for instance, the water behaves exactly as you would expect, providing instant feedback that heightens the sense of realism. This feature ensures that every punch, kick, or energy blast feels substantial and impactful.
