Thank you to have released it on Switch !
I think i have bought it 3 times now…and not even regret it !
I think the game feel easier on normal mode and the type control is different from the xbox control as the parry cannot be on L as the d type on xbox controller.
The furier mode is the same appart for some attacks from the strap and the song mainly with purple attacks.
I love so much this game in my top 5 all games included, really memorable.
Thank you Game Bakers for making such a great game in those times where innonvation is not that easy. this game is a route with strong belief.

In reply to Emeric. O man, I made a total miss XD! I've been telling all my friends it's Ned Stark in Rave Armor. Ahh well, yes I can see the semblance to Hector now that you mention it. I agree, Eric Bana's acting is top notch compared to Brad Pitt in Troy. Thanks again for this wonderful game and for answering my silly question! I'm a forever fan! Take care!

Hi!
Thanks a lot for the support :-).
About The Hand, he is the source of multiple inspirations and also original ideas of course, but the Starks where not really part of that. Instead, the character Hector from L’Iliade (Homère) who fights Achilles with courage and honor (and yet dies). Eric Bana does a great job with him in the movie Troy, better than Brad Pitt in Achilles, if you ask me.
I hope you’ll like our futur games as well ;-). Thanks for playing Furi!
Cheers

Hey Game Bakers! I’m loving Furi immensely and kind of sad that it won’t get a sequel (but I get it – the best stories are ones that come to an end). Really love all the characters, they are just the coolest. I wanted to ask – is The Hand inspired by a certain Lord of Winterfell?:D
Anyway, I can’t wait for what you have in store; I’m really looking forward to your next game.

In reply to Andrew. To clarify, I understand that the changes were made to the projectiles out of necessity, I'm just saying that it makes it far easier.

In reply to Emeric. I'm serious about The Line. I've played them back-to-back on the Switch and then on PS4 immediately after, and the last phase is very different. Please look at each one right in a row. I can consistently beat that phase on the Switch without getting hit, while on the PS4 I'm lucky if I can beat it with more than 1 hp left.

Hi Andrew!
Well thanks a lot for playing and for spreading the love!
However – you are not the first – I think the fact that you played the Switch version after becoming an ace on the PS4 version alters your judgement. It’s true that some patterns were modified for performances purposes (it has nothing to do with Nintendo, they don’t have a say in the balancing of our game ;-), but in Furier, the health of the characters, the damages, the timings for dodging are exactly the same. You just got too good, that’s all 😉

Cheers!

I love this game so much. I convinced several of my friends to buy it and they were not disappointed… On PS4 that is. I’m not the best in the world by any means, but I consider myself to be very good at this game. I have the platinum trophy, I know the most efficient ways to deal with the bosses, and I can come back to the game after a couple of months and still perform quite well. I started the Switch version recently and thought that the normal difficulty was a bit too easy (now I know why) but I was hopeful that you didn’t touch Furier difficulty. Unfortunately it has definitely been altered. Besides the occasional freeze when a boss is performing a complicated attack (which usually results in me taking a cheap hit) the changes to projectiles that you’ve made have made certain things completely different. Look at the final phase of The Line on PS4. Now look at it on Switch. On the PS4 version the purple balls are incredibly difficult to avoid while on the Switch version they can all be dodged by simply walking around the edge of the stage. It’s no comparison. The Line has one of the most difficult final phases in the game but on the Switch it’s an absolute joke. I am currently testing other things as well, and as of right now it would certainly seem as though some things have slightly less health than they are supposed to. In addition dodging certain attacks seems easier. Needless to say, I’m disappointed. Admittedly, however, I’m not surprised since Nintendo isn’t allowed to have difficult games anymore. If the Switch isn’t capable of handling the game in its original glory because the hardware is garbage, then it doesn’t deserve it.

PS. Thank you for making this masterpiece.

Unfortunately, this was a complex dev on Switch for a too small community. Sorry about that. Even though the Switch version has some tweaks that doesn’t make it 100% comparable to the PC/PS4/XboxOne versions, you can still check the official worldwide leaderboard here: https://www.speedrun.com/Furi
Thanks for playing Furi!

Why no leaderboard on the switch? It’s a huge bummer to be speedrunning and not be able to see my times up against other switch players’ times.
