You fight in Fist of Physics by using your hands and body to move, strike and block just like in real life. Your Robot Enforcement Unit mimics your movements. Speed of movement matters, how hard you hit is directly controlled by how fast your hands move.Hit the enemy robot with your hands to deal damage. The faster your hand is moving, the more damage you deal. Your hands need to travel far enough to deal damage, if you just wiggle your wrists you won’t deal any damage. Think real punches.The enemy robots will try to block attacks, don’t hit their blocks, try to punch around them. Pay attention to the enemy robot’s body, and how and where they guard themselves.Block attacks by physically interposing your hands between yourself and the enemy’s strike. Don’t hold your hands too close to your body, your opponent may just knock them out of the way. In general blocking further from your body will do a better job of deflecting a blow. Whenever you successfully block an enemy attack, you will gain Power. Effective blocking or dodging is important to master if you want to win the game.You can physically use your hands to shove, push, lift and throw the enemy robots. You don’t need to grab with the trigger to do this (trigger grab is to pick up loose objects), just push with your hands and see what you can accomplish. Pushing is completely physical, where you place your hands, what direction you push, and how fast you push all matter to how the robot reacts.Power Mode is available when your Power Meter is full. The Power Meter is the yellow bar on the right hand side of your HUD. Activate Power Mode by pressing the top half of either controller’s touchpad when the Power Meter is full. While Power Mode is active, it will drain your Power Meter, heal you, and increase your damage output.Gain Power by successfully blocking enemy attacks.If you have a weapon besides your Fists available you can swap it by putting your hand behind your head over your shoulder and pulling the trigger. If you only have one weapon available and it is in your hand already you will need to swap to the Fist first in that hand if you want to use it in the other hand.
