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

Overview

F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch is a metroidvania platformer with a "dieselpunk" setting that sees the former war hero, Rayton, attempt to quash an attempt by the local robotic militaristic faction of Torch City to transform him and his fellow animal "furtizens" into cyborgs. He is assisted by various allies in his endeavors including his old friend Urso the mechanic, Duke the local crime kingpin, and the mysterious martial artist Lady Q.

Combat centers around the giant robotic fist carried on Rayton's back (and later, a couple of other weapons) that can be used to perform powerful combination attacks. The player can also fall back on a handful of gadgets, including a healing drink, and acquire new moves and combos by acquiring and spending cash. Like in many metroidvanias, players can also find upgrades and new abilities through exploration of the game's large, contiguous world.
