Tough-as-nails 3D brawler Furi is coming to the Switch next year, it has been announced.
Featuring character designs by Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai) and boasting a soundtrack which contains the likes of Carpenter Brut and Danger, Furi focuses on intense one-on-one battles and has been compared to Japanese titles like No More Heroes, Metal Gear Solid and Godhand.
Creative Director Emeric Thoa explains why this version is so special:
Furi is a game that’s constantly taunting you. There is something deeply personal about a boss fight: it’s just you against one opponent. And being interrupted is even more frustrating than losing. But with the Switch, you can take the game and all of its boss fights with you wherever you go.
The Switch port will have feature parity with other versions and will include all of the content and improvements released so far. The price will be 20/20€.
Our friends over at Push Square awarded the PS4 version 7/10, saying:
Furi excels when you're in the heat of the moment, fighting for survival against great looking boss characters. Super responsive controls elevate the action, and a fantastic soundtrack only adds to the brilliant rush that the game's capable of providing - it's just a shame that everything outside of the crisp combat doesn't quite measure up. When Furi's on point, it looks, sounds, and feels incredible, but a little too often, it struggles to maintain its intensity.
Will you be laying down some cash for this when it arrives?

Why not !
I've heard a lot of good stuff about this game, will definitely check it out when it arrives on Switch!
Looks rad!
Major get for me. Been curious about this game since it released, but there's always been something else to play this year. Will surely give it a go on Switch when it comes out.
Just waiting for Hotline Miami now.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Full feature rich version of a game already released on PS4. All DLC included and it's $20. Developers take note. Would you rather sell 10,000 copies of a game for $40 or 50,000 at $20. It's a no brainer.
"Super hard action" is a phrase ripe for a juvenile sex joke but I don't think it would be appropriate in the NL comment section.
Instabuy!
I won't mind getting that.
One of my favorite games period. Will be double dipping.
Ya. Definitely picking this one up.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
@MsJubilee Hopefully it'll happen. A Hotline Miami 1 and 2 dualset would make me really happy.
Definitely getting a No More Heroes vibe from this game, and the PushSquare review makes it sound exactly like a NMH game, so this game has one buy waiting for it after it releases (oh, and I get a Switch...)
Thought about getting this on Steam, glad I held off.
More old stuff. Early 2018 on the Switch is a joke so far compared with my other consoles.
this is a fighting game.
a brawler has more than one enemy at once...
The Switch is the gift that keeps on giving (until my wallet is empty haha)
@Agramonte Joke's on you buddy, go check the PS4 and XONE libraries during their respective first year. If you're that ignorant why bother commenting?
This is one I've been meaning to play on PS4 for awhile now. Glad to see it making the switch.
@gortsi Im not talking about what games were out in 2014. I'm talking about early 2018. That is exactly why I have a PS4 - so I'm not only stuck with the Switch library during its first year. Multi platform is always the way to go.
I'm getting this game!
@Agramonte then stick with the other consoles?
@JHDK I was about to say that "super hard action" doesn't really sound like anything game-related at all, but then I saw your comment already mentioning something along those lines...
@Agramonte well your argument is invalid if you decided to get a PS4 in 2016, those who bought it in 2013 had the exact same "problem."
@nintendolife
I think this is the first time you’ve posted a score from your sister site in reference to a belated Nintendo port. Typically I have to go to Push Square to see for myself if an upcoming game may be worth my time without any indication you even reviewed the game. You should post your other review scores and brief summary for EVERY Switch port from now on.
@JJ286 and miss out on XenoBlade2 now? it works both ways. Again, the entire point is to have options.
@gortsi No, - The "problem" only comes if you put all your eggs in one basket. I got my PS4 also at launch - but I also had a decent PC. When there was nothing on the PS4 I had something to fall back on. Same thing my PS4 now does for the Switch.
@brandonbwii ORLY?

That's three examples off the top of my head, I'm sure I could find more. We link to PS all the time.
@Agramonte Well I don't, I've always been multiplatform with the exception of this gen, but I will be purchasing an XBOX One soon. But I never believed there are periods where there is nothing, to this day I'm playing games on my GBA and my PS2 and all my old consoles
@gortsi True... Should have said, not a game interested in. Never had a GBA - I would play the original Golden Sun if I could.
I always liked the X1s. I went PS4 because of the japanese games like Persona and Disgaea. Now I rather they show up on the Switch anyway.
@Agramonte I knew exactly what you were saying. @gortsi and others on this site tend to be EXTREMELY sensitive if you dare say something negative, or seemingly negative, about their beloved Nintendo. I'm multiplatform as well because it makes the most sense. Years ago I got sick of drooling over games hoping that they'd show up on my preferred platform. Why do that when you can enjoy them all?
With games like Nier Automata, Horizon zero Dawn, Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball Fighterz and more on PS4 I can't imagine hoping these games come to the switch. Some have resorted to begging. Which is pretty sad. Totally unnecessary.
@OGGamer exactly... Super excited for XenoBlade2 tomorrow and equally excited for NinoKuni2, Monster hunter world and yakuza 6 in early 2018. My preferred platform changes every other month.
@OGGamer nah bro we're just allergic to trolling, most people here including myself have offered plenty of criticism to Nintendo, and as far as I can see the majority has more than one console too. As for port begging, you should check threads on message boards and other websites every time a new MH came out to the 3DS. Sad. Very sad indeed.
Edit: Weren't you the one who said that 2018 looks barren and that the Irish troll's comments were the most sensible thing on this website? Now that this sad miserable little troll is gone maybe you should aim to take his place. We always need ignorant hot takes on this very website
I will gladly pay $40-$50 for a physical Special Edition version of this game. Heck I just need a physical copy of this game in my life. anyone wondering if they should pick this up, do it. But I will say it is a very hard, very frustrating and very satisfying game to play.
Played the heck out of this on PS4 already. Happened to get it free for PS+. I'm not sure I'd purchase it since I've seen everything, but for anyone who hasn't played it, it's quite an exhilarating game with great music and gameplay. The only problem arises between fights where you walk slowly while 'The Voice' is telling the story, but that gets alleviated when you beat the game once and go into the speedrun modes.
@gortsi Very sad yes. Don't beg for ports. Play ALL platforms. 2018 for Nintendo switch IS barren. Now who's trolling? LOL😂. You want me to list all of the PS4 titles coming out in the first quarter of 2018 alone? I bet you don't.
@OGGamer I think you already did but thanks anyway. Barren my @ss though,. I remember trolls from last year saying the same thing before the January presentation and all they do now is whipping their fanboyism in front of our faces as if anybody cares. You do you bro, but nobody's interested
@gortsi "barren my @ss"
😂 Here I'll put the numbers up anyway. In the 1st quarter of 2018 the switch is getting 11 games. That's 11 in the first quarter NOT even in January. That's straight from Nintendo's website. 4 In January. 3 In February. 4 in March. With 30 slated for a Q1 2018 release.
The PS4 has 13 games being released in January alone. 19 In February. 10 in March. With an additional 50 games slated for a 1st quarter 2018 release. Tell me again how plum full January is for switch? Only fanboys reject reality man. I like reality. Which is why I don't stick with one platform.
That's the announced ones dummy, you know companies nowadays announce and put out games within a week or two after they announce it. Yooka Laylee being the most recent example. And no thanks for the advice, I was multiplatform before you were probably born. Must be nice in your reality though, cloud cuckoo land all the way!
Eh, as far as "brutally difficult" games go...I didn't feel compelled to finish this game or even play it past the couple of hours I spent with it when it was a freebie over on PS Plus. Cuphead is honestly the better boss rush game and I've finished it a few times. Also hard as hell...but at least the fights don't drag on once you know what to do and it really works in the game's favor. Furi just felt too drawn out and repetitive.
(Let's see how long it takes for a troll to respond with "git gud")
