F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a side-scrolling action-adventure game from the Chinese studio Ti Games, released in 2021. Players take up the oversized mechanical fist of Rayton, a rabbit resistance fighter, in Torch City, a dieselpunk metropolis where anthropomorphic animals live under the occupation of the Machine Legion. The game is remembered for its hand-crafted look, its Metroidvania-style interconnected districts, and a combat system that swaps freely between fist, drill and whip.

Below the surface it is a story about a losing war and the things a soldier carries home. Rayton was a veteran of a resistance that already failed; the Legion rules, his friends are gone, and every alley he walks is a reminder of it. It is the visual language of the game that lingers: brass, steam, wet cobblestones, and a rabbit silhouette that never quite straightens up.
