Parallax Scroll Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Celebrate the upcoming FOX n FORESTS Spring 2018 release with us! Shoot, Slash, Switch and Snatch on Windows, Linux, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Looks ace. Reminds me of Demon's Crest and Super GnG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperofLindblum Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Looks pretty cool! Not crazy about the name though... I get what they're going for of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The graphical style is similar to Wayforward/Henk Neiborg's art, although maybe a notch or three below. Still quite nice looking though. I'm glad it's on my radar now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The fox character himself reminds me a lot of Zero from the Mega Man X series. He uses a lot of the same moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It looks totally furry, totally Sega Genesis, and totally awesome! If I owned a modern game system I'd buy it in a split second, digital or not! If I ever get a Switch then Fox n Forests will be a day 1 purchase for me.

F34R Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 My Switch is packed with games already, and this will be added for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 While the name sounds like some kind of trendy eatery, the game itself looks pretty fun. Usually I roll my eyes at 16/8-bit cash-in titles, but this one looks like it's had some proper work put into it (from what I've read).

KeeperofLindblum Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Did anybody else follow through and purchase this? I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about the game... Maybe it's just not my style though. I had a whole thing typed up about my issues, but I lost that so I'll retype it later if anybody cares to discuss.

KeeperofLindblum Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Well just in case anybody was wondering, here's my 2 cents on the game so far. I do like the overall style of play and feeling something akin to Ghosts n Goblins with a seasons twist. The story is interesting and fun enough without any kind of forced deepness. (Don't need it!) Unfortunately, my liking kind of ends there... All of the attacks are handled with a single button and you are forced into whatever attack you are currently positioned for. If you're standing still or moving left or right, you fire the crossbow. If you hit up or down or are jumping, you are using the bayonet. This means close attacks have to be either low or high. I'm not sure why you couldn't have just had two different attack buttons. The "seasons changing" is a good gimmick, but I don't feel it does enough. I may have misunderstood the trailer, but I was lead to believe you can switch between any of the four seasons on any stage, but you're locked to one season per stage. (IE the season it starts on and the one you can change to) On top of this, the season doesn't seem to do that much for what's actually going on. It tends to only affect one aspect of the stage. First stage lets you change Spring to Winter, but all that really does is freeze the water. The seasons changing is also a magic power as well, so it takes magic. This would be fine if the season was more optional, but there are entire segments you can only do with the seasonal power. It's not like they can be abused very much, so this seems silly. It thankfully regenerates, but the regeneration line is pretty small and can limit your window of progress. The levels have a weirdness to them. They can feel a bit too long as you progress further in the game. There is only something like a 16 levels in the game as far as I can tell. Four levels per season, but one of those is a boss fight and the last one is a bonus level you have to unlock. Also you will have to constantly revisit a level as you get new abilities that unlock a few extra path (IE different magic arrows for shooting at similar colored target boards). It's the only way to collect enough to move on in the game as well! Not a huge fan of completely changing the game style either. There is a weird SHMUP level where you only have 1 Heart (read 1 Hit). I can't say I was a huge fan of this level, but it did use the seasons mechanic a bit better. All this said, it's a decent looking game with an interesting style and more or less works with what it's going for. Just wish some things were done better? I'm also willing to admit that I'm not very good at the game, so I realize that's affecting my opinion a little bit. I want to like the game, but I feel it's kinda meh.
