    Beautiful design and gameplay is funny, but the boss is very hard to win. The last boss is impossible to win.

    The gameplay is below average and the art style, if not to say boring, is a well-worn cliche just like that of Eastward. For me the thing that stands out is the combat, combat feels smooth and there’s a certain flexibility and uniqueness in the design of the movements of the characters. However, I personally do not think that this game to be worth it’s price since at the same price level,The gameplay is below average and the art style, if not to say boring, is a well-worn cliche just like that of Eastward.

    As a Metroidvania, F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch has achieved the point of "making players feel comfortable". Even if you are not a fan of this type of game, its comfortable controlling feel, brilliant gameplay and moderate difficulty are still worth to try.

    Torch City is really impressive. Every district has its own unique style and all the environments are extraordinarily detailed. The game’s atmosphere is fantastic, exploring the wonderfully designed world is very engaging and the combat system is great. Just go on and play it, unless you’re allergic to backtracking, because F.I.S.T. relies on it quite heavily. [11/2021, p.27]

    Forged In Shadow Torch is a highly recommended adventure for fans of metroidvania style, with gorgeous graphics and art design and frenzied and forceful gameplay. Only some issues about control and difficulty keep it from excellence.
