Way of the Passive Fist coming to Switch

Household Games announced today that the defensive brawler Way of the Passive Fist is coming to Switch. A release is planned for April 11, and you’ll be able to purchase the game on the eShop.

Way of the Passive Fist has players parrying, dodging, and reversing attacks to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where exhaustion equals death. Continue on below for some additional details and a trailer.

Instead of punching and kicking through hordes of nameless thugs, watch for openings, time your parries, and shoot for that high score. The game’s addictive stage-by-stage gameplay is perfect for the pickup and play nature of the console, and brings all its pixel art glory in handheld or docked mode. The bombastic, pulse-pounding soundtrack is the icing on the sand-and-sweat covered cake, and if the feeling of knocking back waves of enemies on top of a speeding train to a wailing electric guitar doesn’t scream “arcade experience,” we don’t know what does.

With a fully customizable difficulty setting (no easy, medium, or hard here!), and a refreshing take on classic beat-em-up gameplay, Way of the Passive Fist is a brand new experience for action-loving Nintendo Switch players.

Features
– Customizable difficulty setting lets players decide how many enemies appear at a time, how hard they hit, how forgiving the combo counter is, and even how many checkpoints there are.

– Contains all the content from Way of The Passive Fist’s NEW DAWN Edition, including a brand new training mode to let you practice and perfect your parries.

– Procedural roguelite survival mode “Passiverse” challenges the most calm masters to stay alive amidst an unpredictable set of challenges.

– Hours of content with Story, New Dawn Epilogue, and Passiverse, plus new difficulty settings that dictate new ways to play. Try for a playthrough of super-difficult enemies or minimal checkpoints.
