Official Description (Ad Blurb)

Sifu is the new game of Sloclap, the independent studio behind Absolver. A third person action game featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, it puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student on a path of revenge.

Is one life enough to have Kung Fu?

Sifu is the story of a young Kung Fu student on a path of revenge, hunting for the murderers of his family. One against all, he has no allies, and countless enemies. He has to rely on his unique mastery of Kung Fu as well as a mysterious pendant to prevail, and preserve his family’s legacy.

On the path of vengeance:

The hunt for your enemies will take you through the hidden corners of the city, from the gang-ridden suburbs to the cold hallways of the corporate towers. You have got one day, and countless enemies on your way. For every mistake, time will be the price to pay.

Adaptation is the way:

Careful positioning and clever use of the environment to your advantage are key to your survival. Use everything at your disposal: throwable objects, makeshift weapons, windows and ledges... The odds are stacked against you, and you will be offered no mercy.

Training never ends:
Kung Fu is mastery through practice, a path for both the body and the mind. Learn from your errors, unlock unique skills, and find the strength within yourself to master the devastating techniques of Pak-Mei Kung-Fu.

My favorite game ever regarding gameplay solely

The Good
The absolute best combat system in a solo game, enabling creativity, stimulation, well-thinked challenge, visual beauty, diverse gameplans etc. Combat situation equally stimulating when facing bosses or numerous grunts Well-thinked progression through the aging system, which rewards mastery of levels & game mechanics Creativity in answers to bosses moveset rewarded, rather than focusing on mastering by heart the patterns Progression trough the skill tree really adds a whole depht of gameplan possibilities Overall, gameplay-wise the depht of how you can learn to play is immense for a solo game Great visual ideas, particularly in levels 2 & 3. The general artistic direction of the game is refreshing and pleasant Beautifull animations through the mocap of a real Pak-Mei Kung Fu martial artist A whole new experience through gameplay modifiers & arenas in the 2.0 update, which drasticaly adds to the game playtime. Even though a short span of 5 levels in the main game, a sensation of completeness emanates from it

The Bad
Inequality of bosses in terms of moveset interest, as well as reasonability in challenge when encountered in your first playthrough Flawed lock-on system that is highly susceptible to meddle with your way of managing multiple ennemies

The Bottom Line
The best martial-arts solo game, as well as the best beat-them-all experience I can think about
