F.I.S.T. : Forged In Shadow Torch recently came out, and our friends over at Handheld Players provided 25 minutes of footage, so you can get a better look at the action platformer.
About F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch
In the Resistance War, which happened six years ago, the animals of Torch City lost to the Robotic Legion. Since then, Rayton the rabbit has kept a low profile. When a friend was arrested, he had no choice but to put on his big metal fist and fight back against those who were hurting him. He had no idea that the Legion, the Resistance, and the Rat Gang were all plotting against him and that he would soon be caught up in all of them.
“Seamless Maps Packed with Challenges to Explore”
In a map that looks like an Action Platformer (Metroidvania), you can visit more than a dozen different areas. Combat, puzzles, and platforming are the main ways to play, but there are also a lot of hidden rooms, secret passages, and shortcuts, as well as all kinds of fun challenges to complete.
Maps are loaded on the fly so that you don’t have to switch screens often. This makes the huge Torch City feel even more real and full of detail.
A fighting system for arcades that makes it easy to switch between three weapons
The Fist, the Drill, and the Whip are three weapons that are used in completely different ways. You can switch between high combo, high damage, and long range attacks easily. Choose the most effective way to attack the enemy based on the situation.
The player will face dozens of different types of enemies, each with their own weapons and attacks that work together to take them out. Bosses with unusual ways of fighting add something new and different to the game.
●Diesel-punk Aesthetics Made using the Unreal Engine 4
The diesel-punk style of the game was based on diesel engines and a cityscape from the East from a long time ago. This gave Torch City a unique look that isn’t found anywhere else. The story of the game is about conflict, which is shown by how different the animals and robot soldiers are.
When Unreal Engine 4 and Physically-Based Rendering are used, the Action Platformer (Metroidvania) genre gets a whole new level of graphics quality.
F.I.S.T. : Forged In Shadow Torch can be bought on the Nintendo Switch eShop. It comes with English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. In September, Microids will ship a physical copy of the game.
