The time for preparation is nearly over, martial artists! We’re just weeks away from the launch of Forestrike, the tactical kung-fu roguelite that is going to rewire the way you approach combat. Forget frantic button-mashing—this is a game of calculated perfection, where your mind is your greatest weapon.
Developed by Skeleton Crew and published by the masters of indie mayhem, Devolver Digital, Forestrike is heading to PC and Nintendo Switch on November 17th!
The Art of Foresight: Strategy Meets Action
At the heart of Forestrike is a revolutionary mechanic: Foresight.
You play as Yu, a monastic warrior on a critical quest to free the Emperor from a ruthless Admiral. You are constantly outnumbered, but you possess a secret weapon—a meditative technique that allows you to mentally perceive fights over and over again.
- Practice Without Consequence: Activate Foresight to enter a simulation of the upcoming battle. Here, you can test every move, parry, and strike. Get killed? No problem! The simulation simply resets, allowing you to try a different sequence of movements.
- The Perfect Path: Your opponents always respond predictably to your actions, turning each encounter into a strategic puzzle. Your goal is to find the perfect, flawless sequence of moves that allows you to overcome the odds.
- The Real Fight: Once you commit to the real battle, the training wheels come off. You must execute your plan with precision and perfect timing. Fail, and your roguelite run is over! Success carries you forward, stronger and wiser for the next challenge.
This isn’t just an action game; it’s a tactical brawler that rewards precision, problem-solving, and cold-blooded execution.
Forge Your Own Fighting Philosophy
As Yu journeys to the capital, he’ll encounter five great masters, each offering a distinct martial arts school:
- Leaf Style: Taught by Master Talgun, this school focuses on Evasion and Redirection. You’ll be deflecting blows, seizing weapons, and using your enemy’s force against them. Evasive, graceful, flowing—the ultimate defence.
- Cold Eye School: Built on the chilling principles of Endurance and Retaliation, Master Nodai’s brutal school is for those who embrace pain. Absorb damage to fuel devastating counterattacks, making every blow you take a step closer to victory.
By mastering these unique styles and combining their techniques, you’ll be able to shape your own fighting philosophy and create devastating hybrid movesets!
