F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch (v1.200.002)

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a Metroidvania action-adventure set in the sprawling, dieselpunk-inspired world of Torch City, a once peaceful urban environment inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. The city has been overtaken by the oppressive Machine Legion, forcing its former residents into hiding or resistance. Players take on the role of Rayton, a former soldier who returns from seclusion after his friend’s arrest to reclaim his powerful mechanical fist and confront the forces occupying his home. As Rayton delves deeper into the city’s underbelly, he becomes entangled in a complex struggle involving rival factions, including the mafia, the rebellion, and the Legion itself. Gameplay centers around exploration and combat across a richly detailed, interconnected map featuring a variety of visually distinct districts. Players navigate through chambers, tunnels, and hidden shortcuts, solving puzzles and overcoming platforming challenges while battling a diverse array of enemies. Combat is dynamic, with Rayton able to switch between his Fist, Drill, and Whip weapons to adapt to different situations—balancing long-range attacks, high damage, and wide-area strikes. The game features numerous foes with unique combat styles as well as challenging boss encounters that test player strategy and skill. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, F.I.S.T. delivers stunning 3D visuals that blend oriental architectural influences with industrial machinery, creating an immersive atmosphere that brings Torch City’s conflict vividly to life.
