Forestrike

Forestrike is a martial arts roguelite inspired by classic martial arts movies. You play as Yu, a martial artist travelling across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral’s influence. Yu faces the Admiral’s vicious followers, often outnumbered, and must plan and adapt as he fights through randomly generated worlds and encounters.

Yu’s journey

Winning a fight does not always mean Yu emerges unscathed. He can rest at Inns and seek the wisdom of Masters he meets along the way. As he travels, he grows stronger and learns techniques from five eccentric Masters; these techniques provide permanent upgrades that he can combine and experiment with. His ultimate goal is to win without using Foresight.

Rehearse each fight

Foresight is a mysterious technique that lets Yu practise encounters inside the fortress of his mind before fighting for real. These rehearsals have no consequences, but mastering a fight in advance does not guarantee victory. Each move matters, and death sends Yu back to the beginning of his journey. Runs and encounters are generated anew, making adaptation and improvisation important to progress.

Kung fu combat

Yu fights mobs of brutal enemies, using his available resources to defeat them with poise and efficiency. Battles are puzzle-like, and techniques from the Masters let you upgrade and customize his movesets to outwit opponents.

The fantasy world

Yu’s journey unfolds in a fantasy world of distinctive characters, vicious enemies and magical revelations. Pixel-art landscapes provide the setting for handcrafted animation and characters.
