Figure out how to win each encounter without getting hit, then you'll have one chance to perform it perfectly. @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social @themix.bsky.social

unlabelledView post →FORESTRIKE launches in just 9 days! A generous chunk of the game is already playable on Steam and Switch platforms. Check out this free demo if you haven't tried it yet.
unlabelledView post →So happy to share this piece of news: Forestrike, the game I've had the pleasure to work on these past two years, finally has a demo. You can try out our kung-fu rogue-lite puzzle-action folk tale right now!
unlabelledView post →My buddy (& fellow Kyoto native) Thomas is a type of game designer I'm consistently inspired by, in awe of, jealous of & proud of. His commitment to crafting games & experiences unlike others is impressive. We're out here designing, Thomas is always inventing. Forestrike is so worth your time.
unlabelledView post →... video game devs need to take a comedy class. Anyway- The game has two main draws: • First, the titular Forestrike: before every fight, you're given infinite chances to practice scenarios in your head before you figure out the perfect sequence in taking out a chain of foes.
unlabelledView post →Forestrike is a real delight. Part puzzle, part fighting game, part roguelike. Hit me up if you want to check it out!
unlabelledView post →The other big draw is how the game approaches load-outs. Where in Hades, you choose between talismans and armaments... In Forestrike? Martial art techniques. This, funny enough, I found way more involving than the foresight gimmick.
unlabelledView post →www.nuclearhog.farm I'm gonna play Forestrike, a game where you literally film your cool-ass Wuxia movie but it's a roguelike. I've been wanting to fiddle with this for a while now, let's go in completely blind shall we?

unlabelledView post →REVIEW: Forestrike "By allowing the player to foresee fights and predict their foes’ next moves, it turns what would be a by-the-numbers 2D fighting game into a more thoughtful experience built around memorisation, timing and strategy" @forestrike.bsky.social checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2025...
unlabelledView post →Some #pixelart detail on a 1700px to 640px sized piece I've done for the game Forestrike. I plan to post a Background a day once the game is released! seems good ? #pixelartist #forestrike #devolverdigital
unlabelledView post →Watch your enemies, practice your moves, and execute. Forestrike is a tactical fighting roguelite where you can rehearse battles before you commit. I don't know why this game hasn't been at more events or gotten more publicity, it's a lot of fun #indiegame #indiedev #demo
unlabelledView post →So I just beat @forestrike.bsky.social. Technically I still have four reality runs left to do, but I consider the game finished, and it's jist the dessert that awaits me. I like dessert, and Forestrike kicks ass. It genuinely might have made Roguelites palatable for me! Lovely game.
unlabelledView post →Playing Forestrike has really scratched that Sifu itch of rehearsing a fight to perfection and I love it so much. Definitely a strong recommend for people wanting a good puzzle with a fighting game!

Can I master the fight before it happens? Watch now! 🎮👇 📺 youtu.be/zNQH28mz7gw #Forestrike #IndieGames #Gaming
unlabelledView post →In addition to Demonschool and Forestrike I also bought Ape Out and Kathy Rain, admittedly both discounted, and I still have money left over, and Clair Obscur isn't even what we consider to be 'an expensive game'. Games are weird.
unlabelledView post →Having finished Dispatch and KOTOR2, I was looking around for a game to occupy me till the end of the year. I was close to buying Clair Obscur. So now I'm playing Demonschool and Forestrike and I'm having a great time.

unlabelledView post →Uh oh crew, this one might be good/cool come release. If you happen to like Katana Zero and or Forestrike, you may want to give this demo a go. I think my only real gripe from the demo is some of the 'game feel' felt like it could use some work. Otherwise I'm on board. #NoirBloom (Demo)
unlabelledView post →Will again bring up Forestrike. This is the game that is not gentle to you at all during first few hours. But like IRL martial arts, you have to mold yourself until you become proficient at it. I have never experienced this kind of "storytelling" done via gameplay www.gameffine.com/forestrike-r...
unlabelledView post →I've seen zero talk about Forestrike when it friggin rules! Martial arts roguelike where you get to practice each fight before attempting it for real. Fights play out like puzzles, figuring out which move to use when to overcome the odds. Really smart and rewarding game and only £9! Recommend!

unlabelledView post →Dearest Bisky: I just want to bring the game "Forestrike" to your attention. Consider an indie AF fighting/puzzle hybrid. Timing matters, solving puzzles matters.
unlabelledView post →I have a risk addict thing in me that video games help keep in control. ("What if I DON'T pick up the 500,000 souls I just dropped in this boss fight?") Forestrike makes a game out of that tension. It's really neat! www.avclub.com/forestrike-g...
unlabelledView post →Playing Forestrike on Switch and having a good time, but man, I can't recommend it at all. The game crashes, and that's not okay in any game, but especially a rougelite.

unlabelledView post →Finished #Forestrike recently and it's a really solid game. Highly worth recommending. I think there's a few tweaks I would make to gameplay loop (like letting me just try a run again) and it feels like it needed a few more skills and abilities, but the plot is extremely solid! 🎮 #gaming #Roguelike
unlabelledView post →I'm a bit wary these days when I hear roguelike/lite game, but I loved their previous game Olija so seeing they got a new one out got me excited regardless. Gave the demo a try and really enjoyed what I saw of the concept and execution of Forestrike so far. store.steampowered.com/app/2325920/...
unlabelledView post →Forestrike is out! The demo was cool, a martial arts roguelite where you get to "forsee" (practice) each fight before you attempt it for real. It's more puzzle game than brawler, as you need to figure out when to hit, dodge, block, throw, etc! Only £9! store.steampowered.com/app/2325920/...

unlabelledView post →Forestrike Is a Kung Fu Game About Practicing Before the Real Fight Forestrike inverts the typical action game loop. Practice is the main event; the real fight is a single take that ends the run.

Getting to retry a fight until you get it and you're ready to do it for real is such a simple and meaningful mechanic.

unlabelledView post →Forestrike Allez on termine 2025 avec ce petit bonbon de Forestrike. Un puzzle-game roguelite où en gros faut préparer ses actions puis les appliquer en temps réel dans des combats variés, virevoltant et où ça tatanne bien fort avec 5 styles de combat différents.
unlabelledView post →Very novice #gamedesign question here. I know Absolum is considered a brawler, but do games likes Forestrike count as well? How about something like Death Kid? Where does brawling end and fighting game begin?
unlabelledView post →Forestrike is just dope. What a satisfying game to play. It almost feels like a modern take on / the spiritual successor to classics like Yie Ar Kung-Fu & Karateka.
unlabelledView post →Not sure if I'm sold on Forestrike, but I will say it has a fantastic demo. 3/5 styles and 2/4 map sections available is a good chunk of game to really get a sense of if you're down for what it's about. 100% give it a try. store.steampowered.com/app/2325930/...

unlabelledView post →Highly recommend the game Forestrike. Lot of bang for your buck at a $10 price. Basically, someone watched the fights in the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies and thought, "What if that were an entire game?"
unlabelledView post →Already kind of bored of Forestrike. I will probably eventually beat it and it's not a bad game, I just can't make myself hit my head against the wall so many times with such a rough penalty. I forget what they call it, there's a game term, but basically the level of annoyance each restart causes

unlabelledView post →Forestrike is a pretty fun game but the way it's set up makes me want to play it less. It's basically like you get unlimited practice runs, then one real run and if you fuck the real run up then you go back to start. Which makes sense but I don't wanna keep playing that. It's once or twice a day
