Forestrike Launches November 17 for PC and Switch
The upcoming tactical kung fu adventure Forestrike is officially set to launch on November 17, 2025, for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Skeleton Crew Studio and published by Devolver Digital, this highly anticipated indie game blends martial arts mastery with turn-based tactics. The Forestrike release date confirms what fans have been waiting for, a deep, cerebral combat experience where strategy and precision decide every victory.
A Martial Journey of Strategy and Skill
In Forestrike, players step into the shoes of Yu, a disciplined martial artist on a quest to free the Emperor from the influence of a corrupt Admiral. As Yu travels across a beautifully handcrafted landscape, he learns techniques from five unique Masters. Each encounter challenges both mind and reflexes, transforming combat into a test of patience and intelligence. The game’s unique mechanic, called “Foresight,” allows Yu to mentally rehearse each battle before fighting for real. This ability creates a roguelike loop where every run feels new, forcing players to adapt and improvise as they uncover new strategies.
Visceral Kung Fu and Pixel Art Worldbuilding
Forestrike’s gameplay focuses on repetition, mastery, and efficiency. Players face overwhelming odds, often outnumbered by vicious enemies, but can use environment interactions and quick decision-making to gain the upper hand. The kung fu combat system is both fluid and punishing, demanding focus and rewarding precision. Each successful run strengthens Yu, unlocking new movesets, techniques, and upgrades inspired by traditional martial arts forms.
Visually, Forestrike captivates with intricate pixel art and hand-animated characters that bring its mystical world to life. From tranquil villages to dangerous temples, every area reflects meticulous design and atmosphere. Backed by Devolver Digital’s signature creativity, Forestrike promises a balance of artistry and challenge that fans of tactical action games will love. With the Forestrike release date just weeks away, players can wishlist it now on Steam to prepare for the ultimate test of martial patience and skill.
