Sifu is a beat 'em up action-adventure video game developed and published by French studio Sloclap. And from first glance, you feel that this new game is a cool action movie about a martial artist on the path of revenge.
Game Plot
The introduction tells us about a child whose father had just been killed in front of him and also dealt a fatal blow to himself. But he survived because he stole a magical amulet from under the nose of the main villains that does not allow him to die - he only ages his wearer after each death. So the protagonist decided to embark on the path of revenge and, by all means, find (and punish) his father's killers. It is where the story ends. The player is taught the basics in the opening credits, launched into the first location, and then we are left to our own devices. You will learn the essence of the story only if you meticulously explore the locations, return to them over and over again and open previously closed doors. So this is definitely the game only for chosen ones.Gameplay
A player's best friend will be parries and perfect dodges. Pressing the block button at the right moment parries the enemy's attack. Holding down the block button and using the stick helps you avoid blows and instantly counterattack. On the latter mechanics, the entire combat system is tied - the study of enemy techniques, ideal evasions, and counterattacks. The number of different techniques is also pleasing. Here you can easily collect combinations and transfer the enemy to different states: stun, inflict damage, hit him against the wall with a throw, drop him to the ground and finish him off already there. But all this requires composure, concentration, and skill. If you just run around the level and click all the buttons in a row, trying to go as far as possible, the main character will come out of the first boss as a gray-haired old man. That is if he comes out at all. Hero abilities are divided into passive and active. Active - these are various combos, interactions with the environment, and special attacks using the concentration scale. Passive skills are divided into three branches: age, points, and experience. For example, in the first category, you cannot pump an increase in health recovery after killing enemies if the hero is over 40 years old. But for pumping other branches, you need to score either more points for defeating opponents or experience.System requirements
