If you're into the weird and wonderful world of indie games then boy do we have a PlayStation 4 title for you. F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch is described as "a dieselpunk-style action adventure featuring an anthropomorphic bunny wielding a huge, weaponized metal fist" and it's launching soon as part of Sony's China Hero Project. If you need to a bit more context to that wild description, we recommend checking out the trailer above.
The game, as described over on the PlayStation Blog, puts you in the role of a bunny rabbit as it quickly becomes the hero of an army made up of animals as they fight back against a machine invasion. Yang Xiang says: "We were eager to tell a memorable and motivating story. Ours began with a simple concept. Supposing there was a beautiful, peaceful world, inhabited only by animals. What would happen if it were invaded by a race of machine-like creatures? Amidst the backdrop of the inevitable conflict that would erupt and consume the planet, we pictured the emergence of a lone warrior, a hero."
The world of F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch is said to be packed with secrets while combat is based on combos and unique weapons. This is all running on Unreal Engine 4 -- something which helps to give backgrounds rich details and brings the city to life. Do you like the look of the game? Let us know in the comments below.

One of the China Joy games I remember most vividly. Yeah it looks kind of crazy, but it's my kind of crazy.
I'll avoid the obvious rude joke. Visually it looks pretty impressive though
This new Watership Down game is turning out differently then I expected.
I love the aesthetic and character designs. It's a shame I'm not big on Metroidvania style games though.
Ooooh this looks promising.
Anything anthropomorphic and I'm in, I Just love stuff like this.
Looks really cool! I hate to admit that I'm a little wary of games developed in China, but I'm always on the lookout for something to break that stigma...like this!
Did they just choose random words to fit the acronym F.I.S.T.? Otherwise these visuals are fantastic, just not sure about the gameplay yet.
Can't go wrong with a bit of F.I.S.Ting.
Actually, it looks pretty fun even if the art style seems to be a mish-mash of other popular media.
Defo can't go wrong F.i.s.t.ing your enemies
Oh my god its gorgeous!! Love the sound fx too!
I always wondered what became of the Runnaway Bunny.
Looks great i love the setting.
