Use your 'foresight' ability to visualize fights before they happen and hone your skills then rumble in reality, where defeat means starting over from scratch.

As a martial artist, named Yu, you embark on a journey across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral’s influence. Adopting techniques from one of five unique Masters, each battle presents a puzzle that must be solved using your mind as well as your fists.

Yu encounters many foes on his path to the capital, and he is always outnumbered, but he has a secret weapon: the Foresight, a meditative technique that allows him to mentally perceive fights over and over until he finds a sequence of movements that allows him to overcome the odds.

Once ready, our hero must fight in reality, where losing means starting everything over, but progress is permanent. Winning doesn't always mean he will emerge from each encounter unscathed, but the further he travels, the stronger he will become.

Japan-based master developers Skeleton Crew (Olija) and their apprentices Devolver Digital have meditated on the release date of Forestrike and decreed that the action-packed martial arts roguelite will launch on Nov. 17 for PC and Nintendo Switch

To mark the announcement, a new gameplay trailer offers a deeper look at Forestrike’s expansive world, its unique roguelite systems and the mysterious story that awaits players. In addition, Forestrike’s updated Steam Next Fest demo now includes a third school of combat and new locations for players to sample ahead of the game’s launch. 

Key Features:

• Forewarned is Forearmed: The Foresight, a distinctive game mechanic that lets players experiment without consequences before fighting for real - and win or die trying. Forestrike’s roguelike game loop generates unique runs and encounters every time, so adaptation and improvisation are crucial to progress.
• Visceral Kung Fu Combat: Always outnumbered, learn to dispatch mobs of brutal enemies with poise and efficiency using everything at your disposal. Upgrade and customize your movesets with techniques from your chosen Masters to help you outwit your opponents in fierce, puzzle-like battles.
• Handcrafted Fantasy: Journey through a visually striking fantasy world inhabited by unique characters, vicious enemies and magical revelations. Intricate pixel art landscapes form an atmospheric backdrop to handcrafted animation and characters.

Forestrike is coming to PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch on November 17, 2025.
