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.

خلصتها هلق حلوي بصراحة فيها شي واحد منرفز آنو لايوجد سفر سريع من جيك بوينت لاخرى في آلة تنقلك بكبسولة عمحطات إلها وهي الآلة يوجد منها 6 او 7 باللعبة يعني إذا أنت بمكان وبدك تنتقل لمكان آخر وجع راس مو طبيعي وبيحتاج وقت كتير لازم تروح عمكان الآلة وتنقلك عاقرب آلة موجودة بقرب الهدف وبعدين تروح لهدفك هالشي قتل التنقل تماما بالنسبة الي يعني كنت بعد ما خلص منطقة ما ارجعلها حتى لو باقي شغلات قادر استكشفها لانو ببساطة مالي خلق ارجع اتعذب حتى اوصل، ارجع أكرر عتبي انهم ماعملو سفر سريع بين كل جيك بوينت والأخرى متل كل العاب الدنيا
منطقة المياه وانت تغوص طولت زيادة وكانت مملة وبطيئة ووجع راس
لعبتها عصعوبة سهلة لانو مالي خلق اضل انجلد ماعندي كتير وقت بسبب الدراسة تباً لـ BWL ختمتها وسحبت القرص وحطيتو بالعلبة وشلتها
اعطيها 8/10 اللعبة ممتعة ومافيها شي مزعج غير السفر السريع وشاشة النهاية مافينا نتخطاها ونظام التطوير بسيط وسهل لكن آخر مهارات ماكان فيني افتحها مدري ليش يمكن كان لازم اجمع ايتم معين
والتوجه الفني حلو لكن بعد بداية اللعبة حسيت اني فقدت ارتباطي بشخصيات اللعبة والتوجه تبعها وبقيت انا والعالم لحالنا فقط، خلصت اللعبة وماكنت اعرف كيف استخدم العصي الزرقاء الصغيرة بجانب عبوات الصحة والقذائف ولاحقا نسيت كليا آني اقدر بسلاح القبضة اضغط دائرة واشيل العدو وارميه ههههه اكتر سلاح استخدمته السوط كان جيد ويضرب من بعيد ويدفعني نحو الاعداء حتى البلاتفورمينغ ماكان صعب سلسل وظريف عدا بأخر منطقة مدري كيف صار كله ليزر واشعة وكيف ما اتحرك انصاب لكن خلصتها بطريقة ما بدون مشاكل جدا عويصة يرجع السبب اني كنت حاطط الصعوبة سهل لهيك ماكنت اخسر كل دمي بضربات الليزر
العالم جميل وممتع بصرياً لكن حسيت شوي تفاصيل الاعداء غير واضحة تحس في ضباب باللعبة مع انها بصرياً مبهرة، تنوع الاعداء اعتقد مرضي والبوسز ظريفين وما واجهت مشاكل معهم بسبب تخفيض الصعوبة تقريبا كلهم خلصت عليهن من اول ضربة عدا البوس الاخير
عطتني شعور ادماني اني دوم حابب كمل اللعبها وما أوقف ودائماً شعرت حالي مصمم اكتشف كل المنطقة بدون ما اترك فيها ولا مكان فارغ او طريق ما دخلته لكن بعد ما اطلع من المنطقة ما ارجعلها وهالشي ينافي شوي مبدأ الميترودفينا آني لازم اتقدم بالقصة واحصل عقدرات جديدة اكتشف فيها المناذق القديمة، اللعبة عموما ما خلتني ضيع او اتوه وهالشي يتحسبلها دائماً كان في نقطة حمرة وين الهدف القادم مشان مافوت بالحيط، التحرك القفذ كان ممتع ولقيت حالي عم نطوط بسهولة وبكل اريحية وعأي مكان بدي ياه بدون ما اقع او احاول كتير ولاخر اللعبة تقريبا وانا لسا عم اخد تطويرات ومهارات جديدة والخريطة مابتضيع وتظهرلك بوضوح وين وصلت وشو باقي عليك
القصة ما اهتميت فيها البتة وتخطيت كل الحوارات لكن واضح انها مش سيئة يعني عادية عموما تجربة انبسطت فيها ومبسوط آني امتلكت قرصها اتوقع لاحقاً يصير قطعة نادرة

A very beautiful Metroidvania game, one of the best in its category. I enjoyed the combat and the variety of weapons, especially the combos. The story is simple and nice, with diverse worlds and environments.

F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch features complex combat, a huge and incredibly detailed map to explore, loads of secrets to find, a lengthy campaign, and gorgeous visuals. While I may have had a few minor gripes and do wish there was less required backtracking, I had loads of fun chasing down The Legion and its Iron Dogs and unraveling the mystery of the spark. F.I.S.T. is a must play for fans of the metroidvania genre.

One of the best platformers out there!
Style 10/10
Combat 10/10
Overall feeling 9/10 (wish it had full 4k and 120hz)
This is not a Castlevania, but something different and a bit new. Yes, there are similar elements like map, locked doors and stuff. But the game feels different - the game focuses more on combat. At first I thought this game is only about executing combos and such. After a few hours it gets MUCH better when you unlock new stuff.
Just try it out if you love high quality platformers.

one of the best metroidvania games you can play right now.
The Gameplay & The Graphics are amazing but the story isn't as good as the other things.
I spent like 25 hours in this game and not regretted at all.

F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch's exciting, brutal combat, and rewarding exploration set it apart from many of its genre-mates, and make it utterly worth your time.

F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch is an excellent offering that is surprisingly getting very little marketing at launch. With a great aesthetic, an engaging enough narrative, together with challenging combat and rewarding Metroidvania exploration, this is one resistance movement everyone should be signing on for.

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a deftly crafted Metroidvania that while it doesn't do anything especially new or ground-breaking, nonetheless reframes the genre through a distinctly Chinese and attractive dieselpunk setting that fans of the genre and action adventures in general will assuredly enjoy.

F.I.S.T .: Forged in Shadow Torch is an imperfect production but by no means trivial: a metroidvania that does its own without excelling in any area, in any case denoting a certain expertise on the part of a team that is anything but accustomed to global stages. What is missing are only a bit of an overall vision, a sense of proportion (because the adventure is paradoxically even a thread too long) and a basic balance: sins of youth, however excusable, which cannot really affect the value of a title that can be played with a certain pleasure.

With deep and challenging combat and tight controls, F.I.S.T. often provides a welcome challenge. That’s why it's such a shame that slow progression and poor design choices hold it back from reaching its full potential. Still, at its best, F.I.S.T. is a memorable Metroidvania with variety and depth. If you’re up for the challenge and willing to deal with these issues, there’s definitely a good time to be had.

Amei esse jogo, adoro Metroidvanias no estilo Hollow Knight, gráficos bonitos, historia boa e jogabilidade no estilo hack'n'slash valeu com certeza a compra.

To be honest, the story is good, and the game is fun, so I could have given it more than 8 points, but I was contemplating giving it 6 points in the combat section, so I gave it 7 points.

لعبة باسلوب قتال ممتع لكن مع تفويت الكثير من الميكانكيات و مميزات ما تم توظيفها بشكل فعال كلياً كما هو التنقل المستنزف للوقت و القاتل للمتعة , تصميم بيئي جميل و جرافيك يبشرنا بجيل واعد لمحرك انريال و امكانياته في الجيل الجديد

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, there’re just too many better alternatives out there to pick from.
