Way of the Passive Fist (Switch)

You play as the Wanderer who travels across the planet of Zircon V that was once a prosperous mining colony that is now on the brink of destruction.

The character designs have the whole apocalyptic feel to it (reminded me of Mad Max a little) and the 2D Sprites are very nice.

The game itself is a beat em up with a twist: it has a Timing and Rhythm based combat system.
You can Parry, Check/Shove, Dodge attacks. Along the way you earn XP and can have a bigger life meter, a Dash (very important for some enemies/bosses) and super moves: A Power Punch (only exception of hitting enemies/bosses, heh), Super Slam (that also damages enemies around you) and Gravity Well (AOE/Smart Bomb move).

The combat is very fun and satisfying. You have to watch the enemies movements/listen to sounds and use your defense to drain their stamina bar. Each successful defense fills up your super meter which will allow you to do a super move. The game also has modifiers to adjust the difficulty.

I really enjoyed it. It's one of the most original concepts of a beat em' up I have ever played. I recommend it if you want something different in your beat em' ups.
