I am very happy about this asset and the possibilities it provides. I have owned the asset for nearly 3 years now and I use it a lot. It is my goto asset when working with any kind of character game. Also it works well with Behavior Designer pro and the Mirror Multiplayer character controller. The Discord server is very active and I just talked to primary developer yesterday and he helped me add the character controller to an ai generated 3d model and it worked great. I can't complain about this asset. Opsive is the main platform of the game I am making, using most of their assets. The amount of hours I save by using their assets, are astronomical.

Really cool asset. It takes some time to learn but you will definitely not regret getting it. They even have multiple tutorials on how to use it along with excellent product support. So many different things can be done with the character controller. Definitely deserves the 5 stars.

This really is the ultimate character controller. Everything you can imagine for a character from movement, abilities, all the way to SFX - have been taken into careful consideration. With all of that, this does end up being a very complex asset - so don't expect plug-and-play. But once you get familiar with it, there's nothing but possibilities awaiting you. There is also a very helpful discord and forum in case you get stuck, as well as some starter guide videos on youtube. I honestly can't imagine myself ever needing or wanting another character controller after using this.

I truly think this asset is an amazing, high-quality, and highly versatile tool. If I can learn to use it properly, I believe it would bring me very close to becoming a high-level indie game developer. Because it is so powerful, the learning curve for beginners is steep. The Discord server is mostly community-driven, and while the official forum provides solid support and helpful responses, beginners will likely need to rely on the forum to fully understand the workflow and get started smoothly. If there were a dedicated Udemy course that teaches how to use this asset step-by-step, I would definitely buy it. I sincerely hope that more beginner-friendly onboarding resources will be added in the future.

Its one of the cornerstones in my project. Yes, you can build your own character controller but you'd spend so much time adding stuff that this asset already has out of the box. Things like event hooks, audio hooks, health/mana systems, damaging systems like bullets/magic/shields, animation syncing, etc, etc. Yes, as with all big code projects, there's a lot of code and some things do need getting used to. But if you spend the time on it, it will give you time back. (and then im only using it for a third person game, this also has support for many other type of games, like 2d, top down, etc, I havent even check those out...)

Overcomplicates simple things, for the price you pay it should be less painful to work with

The asset is very good, but the documentation is too superficial, and some of the links don’t even work. Please update the documentation — it’s very important.

Everything, visually, is amazing. I'm impressed by what it can do. With some custom Netcode for Gameobjects integration I can have UCC in multiplayer. However, I hope you guys are considering ECS and tick-based simulation for UCC 4.

Purchasing Opsive Ultimate Character Controller is among the best decisions I've made during my game dev journey. Powerful tool, amazing customer support. I love to code so I started by creating my own controller. I quickly realized - I don't like to code THAT MUCH. :) However, the experience I gained trying to create my own controller has been extremely beneficial as I learn to navigate Opsive's Ultimate Character Controller because Opsive is a powerful and complex system. It is well worth the time to learn and when you do learn how to use all the features - it really will save you 100's of hours over making your own controller! That experience also helps me understand the VALUE of this software - RESPECT!!!! This character controller system is an amazing tool that helps me develop my games AND have a life! It has a steep learning curve, but if you take the time to understand what is going on under the hood - you will be amazed and I think the sky's the limit as to how you can customize Opsive's system, so your game maintains its uniqueness. I'm still working on connecting the dots and figuring out who talks to who, why and how they influence each other - but I'm getting there. The documentation is very detailed and helpful. I think the surface system is worth the price all by itself! That is a quick and easy drag/drop set up that saves tons of time over manually setting up all of those interactions to make your game juicy! Opsive's customer support is quick and helpful. I've had a problem - caused 100% from my newb status as a designer - late on a Friday night on two occasions. I really didn't expect help until at least Monday. But I got a reply within a few hours via their forum. I can't wait until I know enough (to be dangerous) and interesting so I can jump into the Discord! I have most all of their add-ons and many assets that they integrate with like the Opsive Ulitmate Inventory and Behavior Trees, and more. That is another reason I chose Opsive - all of the systems which they provide integration with. In other words, I have worlds to build that will last a lifetime with all the resources Opsive provides. Thanks for an amazing game dev tool! Rebecca
