* RealTimeWeaponSwitch: You can swap between the three weapons at will using the D-pad; this can be (indeed, ''should'' be) even done mid-combo.

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Rayton never even considers harming another furtizen unless they outright threaten or attack him. Meanwhile, he has no problem nonchalantly destroying hundreds, if not thousands of the Iron Dogs throughout the game, even though the game makes it clear that the Iron Dogs show some level of sapience and some of them are just soldiers doing their jobs. There's a point in the game where Rayton even spares an Iron Dog Section Chief who surrenders without a fight (three times), but then goes right back to destroying Iron Dogs as if the event never took place.

* {{Combos}}: ''hoo boy''; three weapons, each with a fairly extensive assortment of combos and special moves which can be connected every which way, and the weapons themselves can be swapped mid-combo as necessary. One could say sky is the limit but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtBlqZs07q0 it really isn't]].

* KnightInSourArmor: Cute, fluffy, cheerful bunny Rayton definitely isn't; he is however fiercely devoted to his friends and, once he gets out of his existential funk, dedicated to making Shadow Torch a better place.

* LagCancel: the loading tip screens mention jump and dash cancelling out of the attack animation; [[GuideDangIt what ''isn't'' mentioned]] is that a rather noticable lag occuring while switching weapons can be circumvented by pressing the weapon switch button while the previous attack animation is playing out. For best results, just press attack and weapon switch buttons together.

''F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch'' (or simply ''FIST'') is a TwoAndAHalfD {{Metroidvania}} developed by [=TiGames=] and published by Bilibili. The game was released for UsefulNotes/Playstation4 and UsefulNotes/Playstation5 on September 7, 2021, with a planned release on PC sometime in October 2021.

* {{Dieselpunk}}: The setting has a 1930s-like aesthetic, with futuristic

** Cicero is of the [[ColdHam cold]] variety. He typically doesn't scream or shout, but his voice has a malevolent presence, and he's definitely a villain whose character is shown from his flasy, violent combat style. He does get more vocal during his final battle though.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: There isn't a single clear-cut villain in the game. While Rayton is rough around the edges, he puts his life on the line to save those in need, with the thieving [[ButtMonkey Flip]] and members of the Rat Gang being the only secondary characters who could be considered morally-ambiguous. Even [[BigBad Cicero]] and [[spoiler:the Duke of the Rat Gang]] are both WellIntentionedExtremist types, as the former wants to evolve Torch City to preserve all of furkind, while the latter wants to destroy Cicero and the Legion {though he also wants to take over Torch City himself).

While Rayton is rough around the edges, he definitely does more harm than good and ends up putting his life on the line to save those in need, with the thieving [[ButtMonkey Flip]] and members of the Rat Gang being the only secondary characters who could be considered morally-ambiguous. Even [[BigBad Cicero]] and [[spoiler:the Duke of the Rat Gang]] are both a WellIntentionedExtremist, as the former wants to evolve Torch City to preserve all of furkind, while the latter wants to destroy Cicero and the Legion and take over Torch City with him as its ruler.

* PowerFist: The game's eponymous fist is a giant mechanical hand used to break open doors and beat or crush the Iron Dogs to a pulp. Unusually for most examples of the trope, it's not wielded on Rayton's hand, but is rather worn like a backpack and functions as a third limb.
