Unreal Engine: Build a Turret Shooter with Blueprints

About this course

Build a complete turret-based shooter game in Unreal Engine 4 using Blueprints—without writing code. In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to design and develop the core systems of a shoot-em-up game, from project setup and asset integration to turret mechanics, projectile behavior, enemy combat, and wave-based gameplay. As you progress, you'll implement player health, damage feedback, enemy effects, and responsive user interfaces, including HUDs, pause menus, game over screens, and main menus. You'll also enhance your game with audio, configure levels, and package your project into a standalone playable build. Designed for learners interested in Unreal Engine game development and Blueprint scripting, this course provides a practical, project-based approach to building gameplay systems. Each module focuses on creating functional game features that you can test, modify, and expand as your project evolves. By the end of the course, you'll have developed a fully functional turret-based shooter game and gained practical experience implementing gameplay mechanics, UI systems, combat interactions, and game packaging using Unreal Engine Blueprints.
