F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch

F.I.S.T is 2D Action  Metroidvania, not unlike Guacamelee, with a strong emphasis on traversal and combat. The premise is simple: you play like a rabbit with a big mechanical arm and try to save your friend from an oppressive force.

The arm is your main weapon and it allows you to perform all kinds of crazy boat movements. The battle is fierce, responsive, and the animations and audio-visual feedback are just crazy. The second weapon I opened was a drill, and it’s even more top-notch because it allows you to perform hurricanes to the great detriment of the AOE.

There’s also great depth, as you can switch freely between your weapons, create stylish combos, and toss enemies, such as Devil May Cry (although the game doesn’t have a style meter, which you can Reward for changing your strategy).

Beyond that, there are the usual Metrodovian things, exploration, opening new areas, tracking backs, secrets/upgrades, etc. I’m sure you know the drill. What I appreciate about the game is that the upgrades that you open to unlock previously inaccessible areas are actually built into your general gameplay, rather than just one of the keys.

Best Game in 2021 : 

I find a lot of MetroDwinas annoying because you will unlock a qualification/tool that can only be used to open a door, and that’s it. But not in FIST, as here you will learn to punch a screw, which allows you to break down doors as well as send enemies flying.

Some minor complications include overreaching of enemies. Thankfully, projectiles are generally slow, and you have enough mobility tools to avoid damage, always repeating a bit of preference to the same enemies in every competition.

There was a bass that I found a little disappointing, but I managed to learn its patterns, and the checkpoints are quite generous (although I couldn’t find a way to leave the intro cinema with the boss, which was a little annoying. Repeated attempts, although it was less than 15 seconds long).

Great gameplay and beautifully enhanced with Nvidia, DLSS, RT, and Reflex. Runs really well and has a great aesthetic and story. The map is huge and contains many secrets. I can’t wait to dig further. Great graphics, great map. At the moment, I like to play and claim to beat the hollow night, or I can dare to call it a night symphony. One of the best and well-polished Metroidvania game so far. The aesthetics are beautiful, the story is passable (obviously not too far into it) and the controls and movements are fluid and responsive (played with DS4) and the fighting is typical of this style of game.

The possibility of playing the game on easy difficulty prevented me from installing it and returned the game to my playthrough very quickly. Now with many hours in the game, I explore my experience with F.I.S.T. 2021 PC Game Very pleasant. It’s not as wonderful as Hollow Knight or Ori and Wipes, but it’s definitely a deep Metrodonia. When I play FIST, I miss the Shadow Complex the most, however, instead of the sci-fi setting of the near future, it’s Steampunk. And instead of humans, it’s cute creatures.
