- Furi is a game that will only appeal to die-hard action veterans who love a good challenge. Yet, thanks to this limited and intentional appeal that is clearly imbued with fervor, Furi cleanly sticks the landing and delivers a sublime boss-rush adventure with remarkable combative polish
Orpheus Joshua · May 24, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Furi is an excellent little game. With ten thrilling boss fights and excellent movement options, it is just a pure joy to play. The only real problem is that the experience is over before you know it. Sure, you can play it multiple times and get better, but there is some loss of the magic there. That initial thrill made me pumped to take on the next step, and see what journey had in store for me. The feeling when you overcome the odds is wonderful.
Daan Koopman · Jan 15, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Still, if you’re not a fan of games that pack a punch, you might find Furi a bitter pill to swallow. It’s a game that pulls no punches and demands nothing short of perfection from the player. If you’re a masochistic player looking for a punishing game with an unrivaled aesthetic, look no further than Furi to scratch that itch till it bleeds.
Francis DiPersio · Jan 13, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall, Furi does a lot of things very well and those who like a good challenge could enjoy it if the combat doesn’t trip them up too often. There is a Practice mode for each boss, which helps, but again, it felt like the game should do a little bit more to aid the player in mastering the combat. For $19.99, you’ll get a decent amount of content, but there isn’t a lot of replayability in my opinion.
Justin Sharp · Jan 12, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s a high octane blast of a game that will leave you feeling like a space samurai with a force to be wrecked with. It certainly isn’t for everyone, and by Odin, it can be quite the challenge, but its simple controls and fair but brutal learning curve definitely provides a rewarding learning experience. And, once you finish it for the first time, play through it again and see how far you have come. It may even tempt you into speed running the Furier mode.
Darren Palma · Jan 12, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s an experience worth the price of admission at $20, but there’s a part of me that wishes there was more exploration, more “trash mob” fights between the bosses, and more to do altogether. As an example of boss fights at their finest, Furi is a great game. And when it was over, I felt like I’d achieved something, even on easy mode. I suppose the reason I’m a little disappointed in the game is that it left me wanting more and that’s a good thing. Furi is out today, January 11th, on Nintendo Switch. If you’ve yet to play it elsewhere and love the premise, give it a look.
William Murphy · Jan 11, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Furi's series of dauntingly challenging boss fights are capable of turning all but the most committed of player into a gibbering wreck. It's a deceptively clever game that combines shooter and and beat-'em-up mechanics, all wrapped up in a stylish anime-influenced shell. It's not for everyone, with numerous difficulty spikes and an over-reliance on repetition. But it's refreshing to see a game rewards patient observation and persistence, as well as mastery of a carefully calibrated control system.
Jon Mundy · Jan 11, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Furi is a game all about style and combat, and it nails both of those aspects perfectly. For Xbox One owners that didn’t get a chance to check it out when it hit PS4 earlier this year, I highly recommend diving in now. The combat is fun, and the world is interesting. It actually works in combining several game types and making them work. It is challenging for sure, but never unfair.
Ken McKown · Dec 02, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Furi isn’t exactly perfect, but with its unique visual and audio design, there’s plenty to like. Being July’s PS Plus game, it’s a damn fine addition to your collection, but at £18.99 I feel it might be a bit steep; there’s just not enough to offer good value for the player. That said, if you’re someone who enjoys boss battling in an impressively designed game than perhaps that seems a fair price to you.
Jack Bampfield · Jul 18, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While the story is mostly bluster, later encounters introduce some much-needed nuance and muddy your role in the narrative. I'm sure some masochistic players will enjoy bashing their head against Furi's towering wall of difficulty, but with little else to go on, I was questioning my reason for fighting long before the protagonist started to.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
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 game 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.
