Fight your way free in our frenzied all-boss fighter, and discover what’s waiting behind the last gate. Furi is all about the tension of one-on-one fights against deadly adversaries. It’s an intense, ultra-responsive hack-and-slash with a unique mix of fast-paced sword fighting and dual-stick shooting. Each of the formidable guardians —designed by Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki— has a unique and surprising combat style that requires focus and skill to defeat. The high-energy action gets a boost from an explosive soundtrack composed by electro musicians including Carpenter Brut, who created the trailer’s theme. A mysterious man known only as The Stranger is held captive and tortured in a highly advanced prison, a chain of ten islands floating above a distant planet. Each island is watched over by a single powerful guardian whose sole purpose is to keep him from escaping. His imprisonment ends when a masked figure called The Voice sets him free, hands him a sword and a gun, and urges him to fight his way out. To win his freedom, The Stranger must face and overcome every guardian standing between him and the world beyond.
