Sifu

Sifu is a brutal and uncompromising martial arts action game that will test your resolve and kung fu skills to the limit. Developed by Sloclap, the creators of Absolver, Sifu takes you on a path of revenge against the five assassins who murdered your family’s martial arts master.

The game’s unique aging mechanic is both a blessing and a curse. Each time you die, you’re resurrected by a mystical talisman, but at the cost of aging several years. As you grow older, your health decreases but your attacks become more powerful. If you reach 70 years old, it’s game over – you’ll have to restart the level from the beginning.

Sifu’s hand-to-hand combat is simply sublime, with fluid animations and a vast array of combos and counters to master. Environments are highly interactive, allowing you to use objects as weapons or kick enemies through walls and windows. The levels are intricately designed, blending the modern with the mystical in stunning fashion.

Prepare for a steep learning curve as you die and resurrect repeatedly, inching closer to your targets with each attempt. Mastering Sifu’s demanding combat will make you feel like a true kung fu master, but only if you have the patience and perseverance to walk this brutal path of vengeance.
