The player drills moves and sequences multiple times, then executes them in combat. The 4Gamer.net review describes the structure as preparation-heavy, with the payoff coming from landing the practiced techniques in a fight. The game does not treat practice as a tutorial to skip; it is the core activity. The review calls the cycle of rehearsal and execution the game's defining feature.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Forestrike inverts the typical action game loop.
