What is F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch?

Take on the evil Legion in this 2.5D Metroidvania platformer. 

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a side-scrolling Metroidvania, featuring arcade-style combat and set in the uniquely designed Torch City. Face dozens of distinct enemy types each with their own weapons and attacks, all working together to bring you down.

After the animals of Torch City were defeated by the invading Legion in the Resistance War six years ago, former Resistance fighter Rayton the rabbit has kept a low profile. 

The arrest of a friend meant he had no choice but to put on his giant metal fist and fight against those oppressing him. Little did he know that he would soon be caught up in a maelstrom of conspiracies involving the Legion, the Resistance and the Rat Gang.

Why you should play F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch

"F.I.S.T. proves that not every game has to have a massive budget or development team to make a fantastic impression. Part of PlayStation’s China Hero Project helping to fund promising Chinese-developed projects with new perspectives, this “Metroidvania” - so-called because a steady stream of newly unlocked abilities allow further exploration of older areas – also happens to sport a wonderfully deep combat system.

All these elements add up to an experience that looks, plays and feels unlike other games in the genre, and offers meaty exploration of a unique new world."
