Forestrike is a tactical kung-fu fighting game with a supernatural twist. Use your 'foresight' ability to visualize fights before they happen and hone your skills then rumble in reality, where defeat means starting over from scratch.
Forestrike is a fun and rewarding fighting game where the foresight mechanic makes each encounter feel unique. Its blend of strategy, timing, and experimentation with moves and cards keeps gameplay challenging and varied. Fans of martial arts or anyone looking for something different on the Switch will find it worth trying.
Forestrike is an interesting attempt to create something new within the roguelike genre. At the same time, the developers do not alienate players who simply want to enjoy the local story without excessive challenge.
An initially frustrating puzzle-action-hybrid that quickly reveals itself as a revelatory meditation on perseverance, Forestrike is an odd anomaly worth experiencing.
It's easy to get muddled in the endless sea of roguelikes, but occasionally, you wander on one that feels really special. Forestrike ticks that box. With a simple premise and a great combination of pick-up-and-play combat and involved strategy, Forestrike makes for a mighty fine martial arts adventure.
Forestrike features an interesting concept and aesthetic I appreciate, but can feel unbalanced.
