    I'd advise people to play this game elsewhere. Its a great game, combat is fun and mechanics/story are interesting. BUT...

    - It looks really bad on switch compared to other platforms. Worse than some high tier PS2 games. Blurry and pixelly.

    -The frame rate is a little jittery, early game its not an issue, but late game when the bosses get harder it will become frustrating and not in a good way.

    -Load times on some bosses in the late game take up to 1 minute after each death, which is also a pain because it takes more time to learn their patterns.

    Overall good game, but terrible port, id play it literally anywhere else if possible. Ill be picking it up on XBOX and starting over.    … Expand

    The arrival of F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch in physical format it's a great news both for collectors and metroidvania fans: it's a great adventure, with some interesting ideas, wonderful combat mechanics and visually astounding... even if the Nintendo Switch version it's a little bit blurry and less stellar.

    F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is an excellent metroidvania, with an incredible and challenging combat system. Despite the lack of feedback on some things, it is fully recommended for fans of the genre and gives good rewards with extra content.

    F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch is a great Metroidvania, that does everything it needs to very well without re-inventing the formula.
