Check out F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch's launch trailer
/
The launch trailer for Metroidvania side-scrolling game F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, a game developed by TiGames and published by Bilibili, is now available ahead of its September 7 release.
You play Rayton the rabbit, a resistance fighter that has been keeping a low profile since the Robotic Legion has successfully colonized the citizens of Torch City. But due to a friend being arrested, Rayton was forced into action to don his mechanical fist once again.
Rayton isn’t just about the giant fist as he’ll be equipped with a whip and a drill to make him more mobile and versatile in combat.
Here’s a quick rundown by developer TiGames:
Key Features
Seamless Maps Filled with Challenges to Explore
Explore more than a dozen unique areas in an Action Platformer style map. The core combat, puzzle-solving, and platform mechanics are complemented by countless hidden rooms, secret passages, and shortcuts, with all kinds of rewarding challenges for players to complete.
Maps are loaded on the fly to avoid frequent transitions, making the massive Torch City feel even more detailed and alive.
An Arcade Combat System with Seamless Switching between Three Weapons
The Fist, Drill, and Whip are three weapons with completely different fighting styles that offer seamless switching between high combo, high damage, and long range attacks. Pummel the enemy by choosing the most appropriate form of attack for the situation.
Players will be challenged by dozens of distinct types of enemies, each with their own weapons and attacks, all working together to bring the player down. Unique bosses with unusual fighting styles provide a new and unique gaming experience.
Diesel-punk Aesthetics Crafted with Unreal Engine 4
The game's diesel-punk aesthetics were inspired by diesel combustion engines that were blended with an Eastern cityscape from a bygone era to give Torch City a signature one-of-a-kind visual feel. The stark contrast between furry animals and sterile mechanical soldiers introduce the theme of conflict in the game story.
The realistic 3D visuals powered by Unreal Engine 4 combined with Physically-Based Rendering take the Action Platformer genre to a whole new level of graphics quality.
F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch is coming out on September 7 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 but only digitally. Physical editions are expected to be available in Asia on September 10 and in Japan on September 23. Fist is also coming out on PC through Steam but so far no release date was announced.
