A martial artist faces a temple guardian beneath a blazing eclipse42 levels · One fate

Fight for one.

Face the truth.

Stand for a world.

What it is

It starts with someone you love. It becomes a fight for everyone.

Fist of Fate is a martial-arts action-survival RPG about a personal pursuit with consequences far beyond the person you set out to save. Across 42 levels, every encounter brings you closer to a loved one - and to the truth behind your journey.

Fight through unique enemies and complex boss encounters, from a lantern-lit training courtyard to ancient temples, burning strongholds, and a sky torn apart. Learn what stands in your way, find your opening, and keep moving when the odds turn against you.

Pixel art meets the energy, style, and attitude of ’90s retro culture. Bold colour, larger-than-life confrontations, and martial-arts action carry a story that grows from one rescue into a struggle for the fate of the known world.
