NocturneSlayer

🩸 Core Gameplay Update

Nocturne Slayer now introduces a DOOM-inspired combat loop, focused on aggression, momentum, and rewarding close-combat execution.

Enemies no longer die instantly — they enter a DOWNED state, allowing you to perform Glory Kills, recover health, and build Fury.
