Description
About This Game
Forestrike is a martial arts roguelite inspired by classic martial arts movies, where every fight is unique, and every death brings you closer to victory.
A martial artist, named Yu, embarks on a journey across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral’s influence. As the odds become more and more overwhelming, it’s clear Yu will need more than his fists to overcome the Admiral’s vicious followers.
Enter ‘Foresight’, a mysterious technique allowing Yu to rehearse each encounter within the fortress of his mind. Mastering the fight before it begins won't guarantee victory in reality, but it will give Yu a fighting chance.Every single move matters when death comes at a price - beginning his journey all over again.
Winning won’t always mean Yu will emerge from each encounter unscathed, so careful planning will be required to navigate each randomly generated world map, making use of Inns for rest and the wisdom of wise Masters he’ll meet along the way.
The further he travels, the stronger Yu will become, eventually learning new techniques from five eccentric Masters that provide permanent upgrades. Combine and experiment with these techniques to achieve Yu’s ultimate goal - victory without ‘Foresight’.
Forewarned is Forearmed
