The Way of the Passive Fist is a very enjoyable game, with the seamless fusion of fighting and rhythm executed brilliantly. As a concept, it shouldn’t work, but it just does, being a lot of fun and a real challenge. Small control niggles aside, this a very good game indeed and I recommend it to any retro gamers out there.

In Way of the Passive Fist, winning is earned - and it feels good. On the sun beaten planet of Zircon V, a blue-haired wanderer heads into the wastes to put down hundreds of mutants, robots, and cultists.

Way of the Passive Fist is one of the most refreshingly original games I’ve played in years. Though it has its hiccups when it comes to level design, the intense timing-based combat more than makes up for them. Way of the Passive Fist is a fun and gorgeous looking homage to 80’s cartoons, Mad Max, Fist of the North Star, and beat-em-ups alike. Way of the Passive Fist Developer: HouseHold Games Inc. Platforms: PS4 (reviewed), and PC Price: $14.99 MonsterVine was provided with a PS4 code for review. Back in December, I wrote a preview for Way of the Passive Fist at PSX.

Though not a perfect experience, Way of the Passive Fist offers an interesting take on a tried and tested genre, creating something beautiful in the process. Microtransactions: None 8 Gamezeen is a Zeen theme demo site.

Much like a deep dish pizza, Way of the Passive Fist isn’t what it seems on the surface. And like the heavy alternative to the NY slice, it’s not something I can recommend to everyone. However, it’s a totally inventive, gorgeous, and well-executed spin on rhythm-based games, where the action never lets up.

What it lacks in gameplay variety, Way of the Passive Fist makes up for in its unique focus on defense and its accessible approach to difficulty. I enjoyed playing through the story mode and learning the different attack patterns of my opponents as each interaction felt like a mini-rhythm game. If you are looking for an arcade-style brawler that has achievements and a fun hook, there’s no need to be passive about downloading this one on the eShop.
