Forestrike Revealed, Available to Wishlist Now on Steam
Devolver Digital has revealed a new game titled Forestrike. The upcoming release is a new roguelite with a unique twist. The Steam page describes it as follows:
Forestrike is a tactical kung fu game where repetition is the key to success.
As a martial artist, named Yu, you embark on a journey across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral’s influence. Adopting techniques from one of five unique Masters, each battle presents a puzzle that must be solved using your mind as well as your fists.
Yu encounters many foes on his path to the capital, and he is always outnumbered, but he has a secret weapon: the Foresight, a meditative technique that allows him to mentally perceive fights over and over until he finds a sequence of movements that allows him to overcome the odds.
Once ready, our hero must fight in reality, where losing means starting everything over, but progress is permanent. Winning doesn’t always mean he will emerge from each encounter unscathed, but the further he travels, the stronger he will become.
Check out the trailer below:
Devolver Digital will likely reveal more details about Forestrike soon. The game is available to wishlist now on PC via Steam.
