Forestrike: A New Action Roguelike Promises Elegant Combat

A lot of action games promise the thrill of a choreographed martial arts movie, but when I play them the fights tend to look more like a panicked scramble than a martial arts masterpiece. If my execution’s ever artful, it’s during a repeat playthrough when I’m not learning on the fly.

Forestrike, an upcoming action roguelike revealed by Devolver earlier today at Japanese indie game festival BitSummit, hopes to provide a solution for the problem of delivering elegant action: It lets you see the future before you have to punch it. We liked it quite a bit, thanks in no small part to its excellent grappling hook. Forestrike is set to release in 2025.
