I Cast Fist

Enter the dueling ring to prove your magical might!

I Cast Fist is a 2D fighting game where players take control of powerful elemental wizards and do battle to prove both their arcane mastery and martial prowess. Play as one of four mighty mages using an intuitive control system and unique spells and attacks to overcome your friends and foes alike!

Made in Unity with the Universal Fighting Engine 2 add-on made by Mistermind and the Rewired add-on made by Guavaman Enterprises. Game designed by me. Non-placeholder art made by me, Hali Pilcher, and Katherine Holden.

WORK IN PROGRESS! Many things left to be done (original sound, fonts, menus, particle effects, better controls, etc.), so make sure to keep up with the updates!

Controls (default; can be remapped!)

Universal Mechanics

• Magic Chain: Can cancel grounded normal attacks in L>M>H order.
  • Can also chain light attacks into other light attacks.
• Throw: LS while close to opponent. Unblockable, but can't hit jumping opponents. Can throw forward or backwards (5/6LS or 4LS)
• Universal Overhead: 5MH. Cannot be blocked while crouching.
• Meditate: 2MH. Builds Mana over time. Cancel with M, H, or 66.
• Counterspell: 6MH while blocking. Guard cancel, costs 1 Mana. Cannot kill.
• Sweep: 2S. Cannot be blocked while standing, and knocks down.
• Movement: 66 to run, 44 to backdash. Backdashing makes you unthrowable for a split second. Running can be cancelled into grounded normal attacks, throws, and jumps.

Command Lists

• Uses numpad notation. 
• 236S is the Forbidden Spell, every character's super move, and requires a full 3 bars of Mana.
• A = Any attack button (L/M/H).
  • Specials done with the H button use 1 bar of Mana.
