Story
[edit]Path of Fury: Episode I - Tetsuo's Tower tells a story of revenge in which the player must climb to the top of a tower to confront Tetsuo, the king of crime in the city, facing increasingly powerful enemies on each floor. It pays homage to classic Chinese kung-fu cinema, games like Sifu and old arcade games.
Gameplay
[edit]The game offers a first-person combat experience where players must fight their way through multiple levels of enemies using only their fists. It features on-rails movement mechanics, meaning that player movement is automatic, allowing focus on combat and strategy. Each enemy has specific weaknesses that the player must identify and exploit to advance.
Combat focuses on precision and speed, with enemies showing their weaknesses and future strikes, giving the player the opportunity to block and counterattack effectively. The structure of the game is designed to be linear, but the developer's goal was to present a fresh experience in each session.
Players can play thought the story or challenge themselves on arenas that work as a survival mode. The experience is all single-player. There’s also settings to adjust the difficulty and an option to measure best times by activating the on-screen timer during gameplay.
Development and release

Influences and style
[edit]Path of Fury: Episode I - Tetsuo's Tower draws inspiration from martial arts and action movies from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as classic arcade video games.
