Furi is an independent video game developed by the French game studio The Game Bakers. It was released on July 5, 2016 on both the Windows and PlayStation 4 platforms.
The game is influenced by games such as No More Heroes and Metal Gear Solid.
Gameplay
Furi uses simple yet versatile controls to make each fight unique.
Sword
The Stranger is equipped with a sword capable of both light and charged attacks. The attack button can be held to charge and break through an enemy's defense.
Gun
The Stranger also has a gun fired with twin-stick controls. These can also be charged for powerful and precise shots. Certain projectiles thrown at The Stranger can be destroyed with the gun.
Parry
Certain attacks (made clear by a light and indication sound) can be parried, causing The Stranger to take no damage and instead heal for half of one bar. Projectiles are also able to be parried, which will reflect them in the direction The Stranger is facing.
Perfect Parry
The attacks indicated by the light are for the most part all able to be Perfect Parry'd. This is achieved by pressing the parry button the exact moment damage is taken. This will cause the attacker to be stunned, and susceptible to a Counter Attack.
Dodge
For attacks and projectiles that cannot be parried, The Stranger has a dodge which may also be charged to carry him a longer distance.
