So, what is F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch all about? The game’s backstory involves the Machine Legion invading and colonising Torch City, which was previously home to animal folk. Ex-soldier Rayton, who served in the resistance war, has been living in seclusion ever since, and returns to the rebellion – mechanical fist firmly attached – after learning his friend has been arrested.
F.I.S.T combines Metroidvania progression with unique themes and designs, with players having access to a variety of weapons in arcade-style combat including the game’s titular fist, as well as the Drill and Whip.
